The Government of Pakistan has taken another step to support the country’s low-income families by continuing the expansion of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP). In 2025, the program received a significantly higher budget, along with updates to its registration, payment disbursement methods, and eligibility criteria. These changes aim to increase transparency, reduce delays, and ensure every deserving household receives financial aid promptly.

✅ New Budget Allocation for BISP 2025

As part of the 2025 national budget, the government has approved an increased allocation of over Rs. 471 billion for BISP. This rise reflects the state’s commitment to poverty alleviation, especially in the face of rising inflation and food insecurity. Additionally, the increase broadens the program’s beneficiary base and guarantees the inclusion of every deserving family.

Under this budget, eligible women will continue receiving quarterly financial assistance worth Rs. 13,500, helping them meet basic needs such as food, education, healthcare, and shelter.

🆕 New Payment Disbursement System

One of the most important changes introduced this year is the new retailer-based payment system. Previously, payments were distributed at crowded BISP campsites, often causing delays and inconvenience. To modernize and simplify this process, BISP now allows beneficiaries to collect their payments from authorized retailer shops.

The following are the key features of the new payment system:

Payments are available Monday through Thursday only.
Beneficiaries must carry their original CNIC.
Biometric thumbprint verification is mandatory.
No service charges or deductions are allowed at collection points.

A help desk is available to address any complaints or issues during payment, and retailers have received training to ensure transparency.

🌐 8171 Web Portal and SMS Facility

BISP has upgraded its online system and launched the 8171 Web Portal for greater convenience. Beneficiaries can now:

Verify their eligibility status.
Track payment history and upcoming payments.
Lodge complaints or raise queries.
Please update your household information if necessary.

📅 June 2025 Payment Cycle—What You Need to Know

After a short pause due to the holidays, the third phase of the BISP 8171 payment cycle resumed on June 13, 2025, and will continue until June 30, 2025. All regions of Pakistan, including remote areas, participate in this phase, where mobile vans ensure that every woman receives her Rs. 13,500 support.

Methods of Distribution:

Registered retailer shops
ATMs in urban areas
Mobile vans for rural outreach
Designated bank agents and BISP camps (limited)

We advise beneficiaries to visit their nearest collection point during working days to avoid last-minute delays.

📝 Mandatory NSER Survey Update

To keep the database accurate and up to date, BISP now requires all current and new beneficiaries to complete the updated National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) survey by June 30, 2025. Taking part is a compulsory requirement.

If you fail to complete the survey before the deadline, your future payments may be suspended. Trained teams in remote villages and BISP offices across Pakistan conduct the survey.

To verify your NSER registration status or know where to complete your survey, visit the BISP website or call the helpline: 0800-26477.

A step-by-step guide on how to get your BISP payment

Please send your CNIC to 8171 via SMS or utilize the online portal to verify your eligibility.
Visit a registered payment retailer in your area between Monday and Thursday.
Please bring your original CNIC for verification.
Place your thumbprint on the biometric device for identity confirmation.
Collect the full amount of Rs. 13,500 and get a printed receipt.

📢 Important Tips for Beneficiaries

Never give your CNIC or thumbprint to unauthorized individuals.
Always verify that you received the full payment—no one is entitled to deduct your money.
