BISP Taleemi Wazaif 2026 - Education Stipend Check Online by CNIC

BISP Taleemi Wazaif (education stipend) provides quarterly financial support to school-going children of BISP-registered families, from primary through higher secondary level. This guide covers payment amounts, eligibility, how to check status by CNIC, how to register children and what to do if your stipend is missing.

What Is Taleemi Wazaif?

Taleemi Wazaif means education allowance or education stipend in Urdu. It is a conditional cash transfer program under BISP that provides quarterly financial support to encourage school enrollment and regular attendance among children of the poorest households. Unlike the Kafalat payment which is unconditional, Taleemi Wazaif requires that children maintain at least 70 percent school attendance to remain eligible.

The program currently supports over 8 million students across Pakistan from primary school through higher secondary school. The stipend is paid to the mother or female guardian of the child, reinforcing female financial empowerment within BISP households.

How to Register Children for Taleemi Wazaif

Confirm BISP Kafalat eligibility first

Your household must already be registered and eligible in BISP. If not registered, complete the NSER survey first.

Gather required documents

B-Form (CRC) for each child, school enrollment certificate or admission form from the school, and your original CNIC.

Visit BISP Tehsil Office

Bring all documents to the nearest BISP Tehsil Office. Ask specifically for Taleemi Wazaif registration.

Submit school information

The BISP representative will record the school name, district, class and enrollment details for each child.

School verification

BISP will verify enrollment and attendance records directly with the school. This can take 4 to 6 weeks.

Payment begins

Once verified, the Taleemi Wazaif stipend is added to your quarterly BISP payment. It is collected the same way as Kafalat at HBL Konnect or BISP ATMs.

Taleemi Wazaif Attendance Requirement

Children must attend at least 70 percent of school days in each quarter to receive the stipend for that quarter. If a child falls below 70 percent attendance, the stipend for that quarter is withheld. Attendance is verified directly from school records by BISP staff. Extended illness with a medical certificate may be treated as excused absence.
