What Is Benazir Kafalat Helpline
Benazir Kafalat Helpline Number is one of the major social safety nets in Pakistan. Under the Benazir Income Support Programme , it provides unconditional cash support to eligible low-income families, especially women, each quarterly.
Because many families depend on it, there must be a way to get help when things go wrong wrong payment, fraud, delays, miscommunication, or questions about eligibility. That’s why BISP maintains a helpline number and a network of tehsil offices in each district. Beneficiaries can use these to lodge complaints, verify status, or visit in person to resolve issues.
