The 8171 Ehsaas Program is a key initiative by the Government of Pakistan to support low-income individuals and families through financial aid. In 2024, the program offers a sum of Rs 10,500 to eligible women under the Benazir Kafalat Program. This article will provide essential information about the ongoing December installment and give guidance on how to receive payments under this program.
Introduction to the Benazir Kafalat December Installment
The Benazir Kafalat Program distributes financial assistance to deserving women across Pakistan. The December installment is being released in phases, starting with Rs 10,500 per beneficiary. The program aims to reach as many people as possible by covering various districts in different phases. Currently, 18 districts have received payments under the first phase, and eligible women in these districts are encouraged to visit their nearest BISP center to collect their funds.
When Will the Second Phase of December Payments Begin?
If you are a regular beneficiary of the Kafalat Program and payments haven’t started in your district, you may be wondering when the second phase will commence. According to recent updates, the second phase of payments is expected to start between November 11 and November 15. However, BISP has not yet finalized which districts will be included in this phase. The list of districts for the second phase is expected to be released within a day or two, allowing beneficiaries to stay informed about their payment status.

Current Status of December Payments
In the districts where the first phase has begun, approximately 80% of eligible individuals in Sindh and 60% in Punjab have received their payments. The remaining eligible people in these areas will receive their funds over the coming weeks. As a result, a final date for the second phase hasn’t been confirmed, but the likelihood remains high for it to begin within the window of November 11 to November 15. Beneficiaries are advised to stay updated on these developments for timely collection.
Necessary Instructions for Receiving Payments
For those waiting to collect their payments, following certain guidelines is crucial. First, make sure that your CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) is valid, as BISP will not issue payments to those with expired CNICs. If your CNIC has expired, renew it immediately to avoid delays. Also, beneficiaries should bring their original CNIC when collecting payments. A photocopy will not be accepted, so if your CNIC is lost, visit your nearest NADRA office to obtain a replacement.
Procedure for Collecting Payments
For women who are unsure about where to collect their payments, the process is straightforward. Payments are only available at BISP-designated camp sites, where eligible individuals must go to receive their funds. Once the payment process is announced for your district, visit the designated camp site promptly to avoid any delays. Remember that payments are only issued at these official centers, so no other methods are authorized for collection.
Conclusion
In summary, the Benazir Kafalat Program’s December installment is being distributed in phases, with the second phase expected to start between November 11 and November 15. Beneficiaries are encouraged to follow all necessary instructions and stay updated on their district’s status to ensure a smooth and timely payment collection process. Keep checking for updates from BISP to remain fully informed on this essential financial assistance program.
