With an objective to cater the financial needs of the underprivileged and vulnerable segments of the society, the Benazir Kafalat Programme has successfully been running under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), a social welfare initiative launched in 2008.
Since the Country has plunged into the whirlpool of heightened inflation, the significance of social welfare-oriented programmes has soared manifold.
As of now, the number of the registered beneficiaries of Benazir Kafalat Programme stands at 8.71 million and the federal government aims to enhance the number to 9 million by June 2023.
In January 2023, the Transgender Community was also declared eligible to receive the financial assistance under the programme.
