As you know, the 8171 Benazir Income Support Program portal is updated every year with new steps and improvements in the registration and payment process. However, a minor technical issue has recently occurred in the online web portal, which is causing inconvenience for many users who are unable to get their payment or eligibility information on time.
At the same time, it’s important to note that the Benazir Income Support May 2025 payments have officially started, and the government has increased the payment amount considering the current inflation. Now, eligible families will receive Rs. 13,500 along with Benazir Taleemi Wazaif for their children. These payments will be distributed district-wise, starting in different areas in May 2025, allowing poor families to meet their basic needs like food, healthcare, and education.
