The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) continues to provide critical financial aid to millions of underprivileged families in Pakistan. As of July 2025, several positive updates have been announced, including an increase in payment, improvements to the 8171 web portal, and a double payment for previously unpaid beneficiaries. Here is everything you need to know about the BISP 8171 July payment update, online portal changes, and how to check your eligibility.
🎉 Big Good News: BISP Increases July Payment to PKR 14,500
One of the most awaited updates is that the BISP quarterly Kafaalat instalment has been increased from PKR 13,500 to PKR 14,500 starting from July 2025. This change comes after a government decision to increase the total budget for the BISP programme. The budget has now been raised to PKR 716 billion, showing the government’s commitment to helping poor families fight rising inflation.
Over 9.3 million women currently receive financial support under this programme. With this increased budget, the government aims to extend support to over 10 million families by the end of the year. This financial aid is a lifeline for widows, orphans, unemployed persons, and other vulnerable groups across the country.
