The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif program continues to provide essential educational support to thousands of underprivileged students across Pakistan. With the August 2025 payment cycle officially launched, now is the time for families to ensure they are registered, eligible, and ready to receive their child’s stipend.
Whether your children are already enrolled or you’re registering for the first time, this complete guide will walk you through the stipend amount, eligibility criteria, registration process, and how to check the payment status online using your CNIC.
What Is Benazir Taleemi Wazaif?
The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif is an educational stipend initiative under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). It is designed to help low-income families keep their children in school by offering monthly financial aid for students enrolled in primary, secondary, and higher secondary education.
Unlike regular assistance, this program directly supports education by offering higher stipends for female students to promote gender equality in education.
August 2025 Payment Schedule & Phases
The August 2025 payments are being disbursed in three phases:
-
Phase 1 (August 5): Verified families already enrolled in the program
-
Phase 2 (August 12): Newly verified beneficiaries
-
Phase 3 (August 20): Families cleared through the dynamic survey
Payments are being delivered via:
-

HBL Konnect agents

It’s strongly advised to confirm your eligibility and payment status before visiting the payment point.
