Ehsaas Kafaalat

Ehsaas Kafaalat is an unconditional cash transfer programme that includes six monthly cash stipends of Rs. 14,000 and bank account for 8 million poorest women across all districts of the country.

The Ehsaas Kafaalat payment system features biometrically enabled disbursements to beneficiary women on six monthly basis.

Eligible beneficiaries can access payment at biometric ATMs, designated retail shops and specialized campsites countrywide.

Habib Bank serves payments in Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and Islamabad; and Bank Alfalah across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

Enrolment of beneficiaries is dependent on the data from the newly accomplished Ehsaas survey.

Taxpayers, car owners, government servants and their spouses and people who have a history of foreign travelling will not be eligible to receive a monthly stipend or any other facility under the Ehsaas Kafaalat programme.

Surveyed families can check their eligibility and disbursement status in Kafaalat on Ehsaas 8171 web-portal with the help of their Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) or survey token numbers. The portal can be accessed at: https://ehsaastracking.pass.gov.pk

Families missed in the door-to-door survey can self-enrol themselves through Ehsaas Registration Desks that have been opened at Tehsil level all over the country. Addresses of registration desks can be accessed at: https://nser.nadra.gov.pk/nsersurvey/

The Ehsaas Kafaalat Policy for Special Persons has also been expanded to cover 2 million deserving families of special persons. The poverty ranking threshold for Kafaalat has specifically been raised to a certain level to benefit the families of deserving special persons. Special persons can be validated through NADRA’s database and their families can be enrolled through Ehsaas survey/Registration Desks.
