The rising tide of inflation in Pakistan has left millions of families in financial difficulties. In such circumstances, the Government of Pakistan has taken a revolutionary step at the beginning of 2026 and increased the assistance amount given under the Benazir Income Support Program 2026. Under this new decision, deserving families will be given Rs 14,500 every three months, which was Rs 13,500 in 2025. This increase is not just an increase in money, but also a new hope, protection and support for the weaker sections.
Government’s vision: Ending poverty, a step towards prosperity
This decision is not just a political slogan but part of a comprehensive policy aimed at reducing poverty in Pakistan, eliminating the effects of inflation and making the economically weaker sections self-reliant. The government has allotted Rs 716 billion for fiscal year 2025-26, up 20% from Rs 598 billion the previous year.
This move not only reflects the government’s intention but is also part of the agreements made with international financial institutions (such as the IMF) to bring Pakistan’s social security system closer to the standards of developed countries of the world.
