The Government of Pakistan has launched BISP Taleemi Wazaif 2026, a special program to support families in sending their children to school. This is part of the Conditional Cash Transfer initiative, which means families receive money from the government, but only if their children attend school regularly. The program covers students from Primary (Class 1) up to Higher Secondary (Class 12). One of the unique features is that girls receive higher stipends than boys, to encourage female education in Pakistan.
BISP Taleemi Wazaif New Stipend Rates for 2026
The stipend amounts have been updated for 2026. They are paid quarterly and vary according to education level and gender:
Education Level | Boys (Quarterly) | Girls (Quarterly)
Primary (Class 1-5) | Rs. 2,500 | Rs. 3,000
Secondary (Class 6-10) | Rs. 3,500 | Rs. 4,000
Higher Secondary (Class 11-12) | Rs. 4,500 | Rs. 5,000
Additionally, girls completing primary education receive a one-time “Graduation Bonus” of Rs. 3,000. This reward encourages families to continue their daughters’ education.
Eligibility Criteria for the BISP Taleemi Wazaif
Not everyone is eligible. There are three main requirements:
- Mother must be a BISP Kafaalat beneficiary: Children are only eligible if the mother is already receiving the Rs. 14,500 quarterly payment.
- Child’s Age: The child must be between 4 and 22 years old.
- School Attendance: The child must maintain at least 70% attendance. Falling below this percentage stops the payment immediately.
These rules ensure that the program reaches families who genuinely need support and encourages children to remain in school.
BISP Taleemi Wazaif Registration Process
While eligibility can be checked online, registration must be done in person. Follow these steps:
- Visit the nearest BISP Tehsil Office.
- Bring the mother’s original CNIC and the child’s NADRA B-Form (handwritten birth certificates are not accepted).
- Receive an Enrollment Slip from the officer.
- Take this slip to the child’s school. The Principal or Headmaster will enter the EMIS code, sign, and stamp it.
- Submit the stamped slip back to the BISP office.
Once verified, the stipend will start arriving along with the mother’s regular Kafaalat payment.
Importance of BISP Taleemi Wazaif

Timely registration is essential. Families should avoid waiting until the last date and complete the registration process well before the April 2026 installment deadline.
