BISP Taleemi Wazaif November 2026: Stipend Amounts, 70% Attendance Rule and Enrolment
Parents of school-going children from Benazir Kafaalat families can claim the BISP Taleemi Wazaif November 2026 stipend, a quarterly education payment that runs from primary school to higher secondary. The stipend depends on the child’s class level and gender, with girls receiving a slightly higher amount at every level to encourage girls’ education. The child must be enrolled in school and keep at least 70% attendance every quarter.
Taleemi Wazaif is the education arm of the Benazir Income Support Programme, and it is a conditional stipend: the money is not paid for enrolment alone.

Stipend Amounts by Class Level
The quarterly stipend rises with the class level, and girls receive more than boys at every level. The figures below follow the BISP notice shared in November 2026. Amounts can be revised by BISP, so the 8171 portal always shows the current amount for your child.
| Class Level | Boy (per quarter) | Girl (per quarter) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary (Class 1 to 5) | Rs 2,000 | Rs 2,500 |
| Secondary (Class 6 to 10) | Rs 3,000 | Rs 3,500 |
| Higher Secondary (Class 11 to 12) | Rs 4,000 | Rs 4,500 |
Girls who complete primary education also receive a one-time graduation bonus of Rs 3,000. The bonus is paid once, when the girl finishes Class 5, and it is separate from the quarterly stipend.
The 70% Attendance Rule
The 70% attendance rule is the single most important condition in the programme. From the second quarter onward, the stipend is paid only if the child attended at least 70% of school days in that quarter.
- 70% every quarter: the child must attend at least 70% of school days in each quarter.
- From the second quarter: the rule applies from the second payment quarter onward.
- Below 70%: that quarter’s stipend is withheld, but the child is not removed.
- Attendance improves: if attendance rises above 70% in the next quarter, the stipend resumes.
- Repeated failure: a child who misses the 70% mark for three quarters in a row is suspended.
- School holidays: attendance is counted on effective school days, so holidays do not count against the child.
Who Is Eligible for Taleemi Wazaif
Eligibility has two parts: the family must be in the Kafaalat programme, and the child must be of school age and enrolled. Both parts are checked at enrolment, and both must stay true for payments to continue.
- Kafaalat family: the child’s mother must be an active Benazir Kafaalat beneficiary.
- Enrolled child: the child must be enrolled in a school or college.
- Age bands: primary 4 to 12 years, secondary 8 to 18 years, higher secondary 13 to 22 years.
- All districts: the programme is available in all districts of Pakistan.
- Check Kafaalat first: confirm the mother’s Kafaalat status on 8171 before enrolling the child.
How to Enrol a Child
Enrolment is done in person, at a BISP enrolment camp or Tehsil Office. There is no online registration for Taleemi Wazaif, and no agent can enrol a child for a fee.
- Visit the nearest office: go to a BISP enrolment camp or the nearest Tehsil Office.
- Take the mother’s CNIC: the mother’s original CNIC proves the Kafaalat link.
- Take the child’s B-Form: the child’s B-Form from NADRA is needed for enrolment.
- Take the school certificate: the school issues a verification slip confirming enrolment.
- No fee: enrolment is free. Nobody may charge a fee for it.
- Keep the slip: keep the verification slip as proof of enrolment.
How to Check the Stipend Status
Parents can check whether the stipend has been released for their child. The check is the same as for the Kafaalat payment, because both run under the same BISP record.
- 8171 portal: enter the mother’s 13-digit CNIC on the official portal 8171.bisp.gov.pk.
- SMS to 8171: send the mother’s CNIC number by SMS to 8171 from the registered number.
- Wait for the SMS: BISP sends a confirmation SMS when the payment is transferred.
- Helpline: call 0800-26477 toll free for payment questions.
- Only 8171: genuine messages come only from 8171. Messages from other numbers are not from BISP.
Conclusion
The BISP Taleemi Wazaif November 2026 stipend pays Rs 2,000 to Rs 4,500 per quarter, depending on the child’s class level and gender, with a one-time Rs 3,000 bonus for girls who complete primary school. The money is conditional on enrolment and on at least 70% attendance every quarter, so the habit that keeps the stipend coming is simply sending the child to school every day. Enrol at a BISP camp or Tehsil Office, keep the verification slip, and check the status only on the official 8171 portal.
