Benazir Taleemi Wazifa 2025: Rs.12,500 Installment Approved for New Registrants!
The Government of Pakistan has officially confirmed the release of a new Rs. 12,500 installment under the Benazir Taleemi Wazifa program. This educational support is meant for children of families already registered in the Benazir Kafalat Program and who are currently attending school.
Let’s break down everything you need to know about the latest updates, eligibility, and how to apply for this educational scholarship in 2025.
Why Payments Were Stopped for Some Families
Several families previously receiving educational funds have suddenly had their payments paused. The key reasons include:
- Expired CNIC: If your national ID card has expired, your payments may be stopped.
- Unreported School Transfers: If your child has switched schools and the new information was not updated with BISP, the payment may be blocked.
- Low Attendance: Children must maintain at least 70% attendance to remain eligible.
How to Restore Your Payment
- Renew your CNIC from NADRA and update it at the BISP office.
- Visit your child’s old school to complete the verification process, then update the school info at your local BISP Tehsil office.
- Make sure your child is regularly attending school.
