Benazir Kafalat Program
benazir-kafalat-program There is news circulating on social media platforms about an increase in the amount of the Benazir Kafalat program. In this article, I will provide detailed information on whether this increase is actually going to happen. According to ongoing negotiations between the Government of Pakistan and the IMF, an agreement has been reached to increase the budget of the Benazir Income Support Program. As a result, the budget will increase from 470 billion rupees to 350 billion rupees in the next financial year.
This news has led to speculation about an increase in the amount of the Benazir Kafalat program. However, it is too early to confirm anything. The final decision will likely be made after the government presents the budget for the 2024 fiscal year. Those seeking to know if the Benazir Income Support Program has increased financial assistance will have to wait for further updates.

Possible Increase Amount
If the financial assistance amount is increased, how much will it be? Last year, the Kafalat program payment was increased from 8,500 rupees to 10,500 rupees by the government. Considering this trend, it is possible that the assistance could increase by approximately 2,000 rupees in the upcoming adjustment. However, this is speculative as the government has only agreed with the IMF to increase the budget for the Benazir Income Support Program. We will have to wait and see if the government decides to increase the financial assistance for beneficiaries after the next fiscal year’s budget is presented.
