The latest Taleemi Wazaif installment for school-going children of BISP beneficiary families has started releasing, and many parents now want to confirm whether their child’s student stipend payment has arrived or not. With rising education costs, this amount is a big support for uniforms, books, and transport, so knowing how to quickly check your CNIC status is very important.
The good news is that you don’t need to visit the office first just to ask about payments. With a few simple steps through 8171 and the official portal, you can see if your child is listed, whether the stipend has been released, and which payment center or bank is handling the cash-out.
What Is Taleemi Wazaif?
Taleemi Wazaif is an educational stipend given to children (usually of primary, middle, and secondary levels) whose mothers are already registered under BISP or related support programmes. The idea is simple: if a child keeps attending school and maintains attendance, the family receives a regular stipend to support their education.
The stipend is normally transferred in the mother’s name, and payments are linked with school enrollment and attendance data verified through partner institutions.
Who Can Receive Student Stipend Payments?
In general, a child is considered for Taleemi Wazaif if:
-
The mother is an active BISP beneficiary
-
The child is enrolled in a recognized school
-
School attendance is regularly maintained
-
The child’s details (name, age, class, school) are correctly entered in the system
If the mother’s BISP status is blocked or under verification, stipend payments may also pause.
