Under the program, stipends of PKR 8500/PKR 9000 are given to women and transgender persons living in extreme poverty in every district of Pakistan every three months.

Beware of the Fraud
Only 8171 can send and receive messages under the Benazir Kafalat Program. Any communication about the National Socioeconomic Registry (NSER) Survey or money disbursement that you get from an unidentified caller is fake. Refrain from responding to them or giving them any personal information such as your name, address, CNIC number, or details about your bank account. If you receive any of these messages, you can report them to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) by giving them a call at 0800-55055. Furthermore, there is no fee to complete the survey.
