حکومت پاکستان نے باضابطہ طور پر بے نظیر کفالت پروگرام کی اپریل تا جون 2025 کی قسط کا آغاز کیا ہے، جس سے ملک بھر کے ہزاروں خاندانوں میں ریلیف کی لہر دوڑ گئی ہے۔ ادائیگیوں کی شفاف اور منظم تقسیم کو یقینی بنانے کے لیے اس اقدام کو متعدد مراحل میں تشکیل دیا گیا ہے۔ فیز 1 اب شروع ہو چکا ہے، اور اس میں مختلف صوبوں سے 49 منتخب اضلاع شامل ہیں۔ صرف وہی خواتین جو BISP کے ریکارڈ کے مطابق اہلیت کے معیار پر پورا اترتی ہیں وہ 13,500 کی نئی قسط وصول کر سکیں گی۔
The phased approach is intended to streamline the disbursement process and prevent overcrowding at payment centers. Moreover, this method ensures that the deserving women receive their money securely and without delays. If your district falls under this first phase, it is crucial to understand the complete procedure, eligibility, and available payment methods to avoid any inconvenience.

In special categories such as widows, disabled women, and transgender individuals, a PMT score of up to 37 is also considered.
تمام خواتین خود بخود یہ قسط وصول نہیں کریں گی۔ ادائیگیاں صرف ان لوگوں کو دی جاتی ہیں جو پہلے سے رجسٹرڈ ہیں اور بی آئی ایس پی ڈیٹا بیس میں اہل نشان زد ہیں۔ اہلیت کا انحصار Poverty Means Test PMT سکور پر ہے۔ 32 یا اس سے کم پی ایم ٹی سکور والی خواتین ادائیگی کے لیے اہل ہیں۔ بیوہ، معذور خواتین، اور ٹرانس جینڈر افراد جیسے خصوصی زمروں میں، 37 تک کا پی ایم ٹی سکور بھی سمجھا جاتا ہے۔
If a woman has recently completed her NSER survey and her application has been approved, and her district is part of Phase 1, then she will also be able to receive the payment.
