July 2025 Payment Update: What’s New?
In July 2025, BISP is restarting the disbursement of payments after resolving various issues that had affected many families in the previous months. The government has reactivated suspended accounts and resumed payments of PKR 13,500.
Here are the major highlights of the update:
✅ 1. Payment Resumption from July 1, 2025
The BISP authorities have confirmed that payments will officially start on July 1, 2025. All verified and eligible beneficiaries will begin receiving their funds via authorized payment centres, ATMs, or designated shop agents.
✅ 2. Blocked Payments Restored
Many recipients had their payments suspended due to
- Expired CNICs
- Unverified biometric records
- Missing NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) surveys
The government has provided a final deadline of June 30, 2025, for affected individuals to update their records. Those who completed their documentation in time will have their payments reactivated without any further delays.
✅ 3. Double Installment for Some Beneficiaries
Here’s more good news: women who missed one or more previous payments will now receive a double installment of PKR 27,000. This includes the payment for the previous cycle and the current July cycle. This initiative ensures no one is left behind due to administrative or verification issues.
