The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has issued updated guidelines for registering school-going children under the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif 2026 initiative. Designed to curb dropout rates and promote secondary and higher secondary education across Pakistan, the conditional cash transfer program provides structured quarterly stipends to eligible families, with enhanced financial allocations for female students.
Under the revised operational framework, education stipends are strictly contingent on a mandatory 70% quarterly school attendance threshold. Families enrolled in the Benazir Kafaalat program can register their eligible children at any designated BISP Tehsil Office nationwide free of cost.

Step-by-Step Registration Procedure
Stage 1: Desk Registration & Enrolment Slip Issuance
Visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office with your child, the child's NADRA B-Form, and your active registered mobile number. The desk officer will verify maternal eligibility against the national socio-economic registry (NSER) and issue an official School Enrolment Verification Slip.
Stage 2: School Attestation
Take the issued enrolment slip directly to your child's educational institution. The school administration must complete:
- The child's current class grade and section.
- The school's EMIS (Educational Management Information System) code or registration number.
- The signature of the class teacher and the official stamp of the School Headmaster/Principal.
Stage 3: Slip Submission & Verification
Return the attested enrolment slip to the BISP Tehsil Office. Once the data entry operator uploads the verified slip into the centralized portal, your child's stipend profile will be activated for the upcoming quarterly disbursement cycle.
Zero-Fee Guarantee & Consumer Warning
BISP has reiterated that registration and all associated verification services are 100% free of charge. Parents are cautioned against paying any unauthorized fees to agents, private middlemen, or school staff. Any complaints regarding illicit fee demands can be registered directly at BISP toll-free helpline 0800-26477.
