The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program is a vital part of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) designed to help low-income families with children’s educational expenses. This initiative supports school enrollment, reduces dropout rates, and provides quarterly stipends to parents, encouraging continued education. With the latest updates for 2025, BISP has introduced new payment and verification processes to ensure that beneficiaries receive their stipends without interruptions.
Program Updates for 2025
In 2025, several essential changes have been announced, particularly regarding payment distribution and beneficiary verification. These changes include:
- New Stipends Released: Payments have been initiated for eligible children based on their educational level (primary, secondary, and higher secondary).
- Verification Requirements: Parents must ensure that their children’s educational records are up to date to avoid payment disruptions.
- Messages from 8171: Many parents have received SMS alerts instructing them to update their records at the BISP office.
Why Verification is Essential
Keeping educational records updated is crucial for uninterrupted stipend payments. BISP uses these records to verify eligibility, ensuring that funds reach deserving families. Failing to provide updated information may result in delayed or missed payments.

Reasons for Payment Issues
Some beneficiaries have faced issues with receiving their stipends. Common reasons include:
- Incomplete Educational Records: Missing school information can halt payments.
- School Changes: If parents do not report school changes, BISP records remain outdated.
- Bay Form (B-Form) Not Linked to CNIC: If the child’s B-Form is not connected to the mother’s CNIC, payments may be withheld.
Steps to Update Educational Records
To ensure smooth payments, follow these simple steps:
- Obtain a Confirmation Slip: Request a verified slip from your child’s current school confirming enrollment.
- Visit the Nearest BISP Office: Bring the confirmation slip, CNIC, and your child’s Bay Form (B-Form).
- Submit Documents: Ensure all necessary documents are submitted and verified by BISP staff.
- Update CNIC Linkage: If the Bay Form is not linked to the mother’s CNIC, visit a NADRA office to resolve the issue.
Expected Payment Release Date
Once verification is complete, eligible beneficiaries can expect stipend payments to be released by April 2025.
How to Check Payment Status
- SMS Check: Send your CNIC number to 8171 for instant updates.
- BISP Office Visit: Visit the nearest office for payment inquiries.
- Online Portal: Use the official BISP website to track your payment status.
