Introduction
For millions of low-income families in Pakistan, keeping children in school is a daily financial struggle. Uniforms, books, transport, and exam fees add up quickly, and many parents are forced to pull their children – especially daughters – out of school. The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif 2026 program directly tackles this problem by paying quarterly education stipends to the children of Benazir Kafaalat beneficiary families.
This complete guide explains who can receive the stipend, how much is paid at each education level, the registration process, and how to keep the payments coming.
Latest Updates 2026
In 2026, the Taleemi Wazaif stipends continue to be paid on a quarterly basis alongside the regular Benazir Kafaalat installment. The government has kept the 70% minimum school attendance requirement strictly in place, and the special Rs. 3,000 graduation bonus for girls who complete primary school remains active. Families are advised to keep their children’s B-Forms and school records updated to avoid payment delays.
What Is Benazir Taleemi Wazaif?
Benazir Taleemi Wazaif (Education Stipends) is a conditional cash transfer program run by the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). It provides cash incentives to poor families to enroll their children in school and keep them attending regularly. The stipend is paid to the mother along with her quarterly Kafaalat payment, and girls receive a higher amount than boys at every level to encourage female education.
Stipend Amounts 2026 (Quarterly)
| Education Level | Boys (Rs.) | Girls (Rs.) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary (Class 1-5) | 2,500 | 3,000 |
| Secondary (Class 6-10) | 3,500 | 4,000 |
| Higher Secondary (Class 11-12) | 4,500 | 5,000 |
Special bonus: Every girl who completes primary school receives a one-time Rs. 3,000 graduation bonus, encouraging parents to keep their daughters enrolled.

Step-by-Step Registration Process
Step 1: Visit the Nearest BISP Tehsil Office
Take your child and all original documents to the nearest BISP Tehsil Office. Registration is completely free – never pay any agent.
Step 2: Collect the Enrollment Slip
The BISP officer will verify your documents and give you a Taleemi Wazaif enrollment slip with your child’s details.
Step 3: Get School Verification
Take the slip to your child’s school. The school fills in the child’s name, class, and school details, then adds the official stamp and principal’s signature.
Step 4: Submit the Verified Slip
Return the verified slip to the BISP office. You will receive an SMS confirmation from 8171 once the child is enrolled.
Step 5: Maintain Attendance
The school submits quarterly attendance records. If attendance stays at 70% or above, the stipend is added to the mother’s next quarterly payment.
Tip: If you change your child’s school, inform the BISP office immediately to avoid payment delays.
