Why Were Benazir Kafaalat 8171 Payments Delayed?
Every year, during major national holidays such as Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha, many government offices and departments temporarily halt operations to allow employees and staff to celebrate with their families. The same happened this year, and as a result, the Benazir Kafaalat 8171 disbursement process was paused nationwide.
Although a large number of beneficiaries had already received their May-June installments before Eid, a significant number of women were still waiting to collect their payments. The government, however, ensured that the delay was only temporary and that the payment process would resume right after the Eid holidays.
