Why BISP Increased the Installment to Rs. 13,500?
The government decided to raise the amount from earlier installments because of rising inflation and cost of living. Families were struggling to buy basic items like flour, ghee, and school stationery. By increasing it to Rs. 13,500, the aim is to cover at least three months of ration and utility bills for deserving households.
