The Government of Pakistan has officially started the registration for BISP Taleemi Wazaif 2026. This program provides additional financial support to families who are already receiving the Benazir Kafaalat (8171) cash assistance. If you have school-going children, this is an excellent opportunity to get extra monthly stipends to support their education. This guide will explain how to apply, the stipend amounts, eligibility criteria, and required documents.
What is BISP Taleemi Wazaif?
BISP Taleemi Wazaif is a Conditional Cash Transfer program. This means the government gives money to families on the condition that children attend school regularly. The program covers children from Primary level (Class 1) to Higher Secondary (Class 12). To promote girls’ education, female students receive slightly higher stipends than male students. This initiative encourages families to educate their children while providing financial support.

How to Register for BISP Taleemi Wazaif

- Bring the mother’s CNIC and the child’s NADRA B-Form. Handwritten certificates are not accepted.
- Receive an Enrollment Slip from the officer.
- Submit the slip to the child’s school. The Principal will fill the EMIS code, sign, and stamp it.
- Return the stamped slip to the BISP office.
After verification, the stipend will be added to the mother’s regular Kafaalat payment.
