The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has introduced a unique Savings Scheme (Bachat Scheme) to promote financial independence among deserving families. Under this scheme, if a beneficiary saves some money in their account, the government provides an additional 40% subsidy on the total savings. In 2026, this program has been expanded to help more families build their assets.

- Deposit Money: You can deposit any amount from your monthly Kafaalat installment (e.g., Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,000).
- Get Subsidy: At the end of the period, the government will add 40% of your saved amount into your account as a bonus.
- Withdrawal: You can withdraw your total savings along with the subsidy whenever you need it for an emergency.
طریقہ کار: آپ کو بینک میں ایک بچت اکاؤنٹ کھلوانا ہوگا، جس میں آپ اپنی قسط سے کچھ رقم جمع کریں گے۔ حکومت آپ کی جمع کردہ رقم پر 40 فیصد اضافی منافع دے گی۔
