BISP Taleemi Wazaif 2026 Guide: Stipend Amounts, Eligibility and 8171 Check

Children of BISP Kafaalat beneficiaries can receive a quarterly education stipend from the government. The BISP Taleemi Wazaif 2026 programme pays stipends for classes 1 to 12, gives girls a higher amount than boys, and adds a one-time bonus when a girl completes primary school. This guide explains the stipend amounts, who is eligible, and how to check your payment through 8171.

What Is BISP Taleemi Wazaif?

Taleemi Wazaif is the education stipend arm of the Benazir Income Support Programme. It is paid every quarter to the children of mothers who are active Kafaalat beneficiaries, provided the child is enrolled in school and maintains at least 70% attendance. The aim is to keep children — especially girls — in school.

The stipend is separate from the Kafaalat payment itself, which is Rs 14,500 per quarter and is set to rise to Rs 18,000 from January 2027.
