BISP Taleemi Wazaif is an education stipend paid to BISP-eligible households with children aged 4–22 who are enrolled in school — amounts range from Rs. 750–1,500 per child per quarter and are paid through the same BISP payment channel as Kafalat.
Understand Taleemi Wazaif — Education Stipends for Children
BISP Taleemi Wazaif (Education Stipends) are monthly cash payments to BISP-registered households with school-going children. The programme incentivises school enrolment and attendance by providing a monthly stipend for each child enrolled in a government school — girls receive a slightly higher stipend than boys to encourage female education.
Taleemi Wazaif is linked to your core BISP Kafalat registration — your household must be BISP-eligible and your children must be enrolled and maintaining minimum attendance at a government school. The school submits attendance reports to the BISP system, which triggers the payment.
Check Taleemi Wazaif Status at 8171 Portal
Go to 8171.bisp.gov.pk and enter the head of household's CNIC. In the programme benefits section of the result, look for "Taleemi Wazaif" or "Education Stipend". The status shows whether your children are registered for the programme and whether the most recent monthly payment has been processed.
If Taleemi Wazaif doesn't appear in your programme list despite having school-age children in government schools, it likely means your children's school hasn't registered them in the BISP system yet. Speak with your child's school principal — they need to enrol your children in the Wazaif database using their B-Forms and the household CNIC.
Register Children for Taleemi Wazaif Through the School
Taleemi Wazaif registration is school-initiated — the process starts at your child's government school, not at BISP offices:
- Confirm your household is BISP Kafalat eligible at 8171.bisp.gov.pk
- Visit your child's school with the household head's CNIC and the child's B-Form
- Ask the school principal or focal teacher to register your child in the Wazaif system — schools have access to the BISP education stipend portal
- The school enters your CNIC, child's B-Form, and enrolment details into the system
Once registered, the school submits monthly attendance reports. Payments are processed quarterly based on attendance records. Your portal status will update to show Taleemi Wazaif as active within 4–6 weeks of school registration.
Collect Taleemi Wazaif Payments
Taleemi Wazaif payments are collected the same way as the core Kafalat payment — through JazzCash or Easypaisa at the same agents, using the same biometric or CNIC-based collection process. The stipend for your children is often combined with the quarterly Kafalat payment into a single collection.
Check the total payment amount at 8171.bisp.gov.pk before going to the agent — the portal shows the total amount due including both Kafalat and Taleemi Wazaif components. This way you know exactly how much to expect and can verify the agent pays you the correct amount.
Registration and Payment Problems
Payments depend on the school's monthly attendance report submissions. Ask the school principal whether attendance reports are being submitted on time in the BISP system. Missing reports mean no payment for that month.
The school needs to be enrolled as a participating institution in the Taleemi Wazaif programme. If the school isn't enrolled, contact the district BISP office — they can follow up with the district education department to enrol the school.
Each child registered for Taleemi Wazaif adds to the total, but the stipend only applies for months with sufficient attendance. Check whether all children have active registration and whether all months had submitted attendance reports.
