What Is the BISP Taleemi Wazaif 70 Attendance Rule?
The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif 70 attendance rule is a mandatory conditional cash transfer requirement established by the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) for active Kafaalat beneficiary families. Under this policy, enrolled primary, secondary, and higher secondary students must attend school for a minimum of 70% of total academic days in each quarterly cycle. Official school holidays, gazetted breaks, and verified medical leaves endorsed by the institution head are excluded from missing days calculations.
The policy aims to reduce school dropout rates across Pakistan while ensuring that cash transfers translate into active educational engagement. When a child is enrolled via the official BISP Wazaif Admission Slip, the BISP Compliance Monitoring System tracks attendance logs uploaded by school headteachers or collected by regional compliance monitors. If a student's verified attendance falls below the 70% threshold during a quarterly evaluation, the system automatically marks the stipend status as paused or stopped for that specific quarter.
Why Are BISP Wazaif Suspended or Stopped Due to Attendance?
BISP wazaif are suspended when the quarterly compliance audit detects attendance below 70% or when school attendance records fail to upload before the system disbursement deadline. The primary causes of stipend stoppage include prolonged unexcused school absences, unverified student transfers between schools, delays by school administration in submitting quarterly attendance registers, or duplicate B-Form entry errors in the NADRA database.
When the BISP Compliance Monitoring System runs its automated quarterly batch processing, any student lacking a verified 70% attendance record is flagged. The mother's BISP Kafaalat core cash payment (Rs 13,500) continues normally, but the child's educational stipend add-on (ranging from Rs 1,500 to Rs 4,000 depending on gender and education level) is put on hold until verified attendance documentation is re-submitted.
How to Verify and Fix 70% Attendance Rule Stoppage (Step-by-Step)
Resolving a Taleemi Wazaif payment stoppage requires obtaining an official BISP School Verification Slip, securing the school principal's stamp, and submitting it to the nearest BISP Tehsil Office. Beneficiaries can restore blocked stipends and receive retroactive quarterly payments within 14 to 21 working days by following this verified procedure:
- Step 1: Obtain the Official BISP Wazaif Verification Slip — Visit your local BISP Tehsil Office or download the verification slip from the 8171 portal displaying your child's full name, B-Form number, and school registration.
- Step 2: Present the Slip to the School Headmaster — Request the headmaster or class teacher to record the exact attendance percentage for the preceding quarter and apply the official school rubber stamp and signature.
- Step 3: Submit Document to BISP Tehsil Office Desk — Bring the stamped verification slip along with the mother's original CNIC and child's original NADRA B-Form to the BISP Tehsil compliance desk.
- Step 4: Verify Status on 8171 Web Portal — After 7 to 10 working days, check the mother's CNIC on the 8171 portal or via 8171 SMS to confirm status restoration.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if my child's attendance is exactly 69%?

You can check stipend eligibility by entering the mother's 13-digit CNIC on the official 8171 web portal (8171.bisp.gov.pk) or by sending the CNIC number via SMS to 8171.
Are school summer and winter vacations counted against the 70% rule?
No, official government school vacations, gazetted holidays, and emergency closures are excluded from total academic days.
Will I get previous unpaid wazaif after attendance verification?
Yes, once the school verification slip is cleared and approved at the BISP Tehsil Office, all retroactive arrears for the paused quarters are disbursed alongside the next quarterly BISP Kafaalat payment.
