The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is one of Pakistan’s largest social safety net programs, providing regular financial support to low-income families. Over the years, the program has evolved to ensure that deserving women across the country receive timely payments to meet basic needs.
Recently, there has been a lot of buzz regarding a Rs 27,000 payment under BISP Phase 3. Many beneficiaries are asking whether this is a new, increased installment or a special double payment. In this article, we will provide complete, up-to-date information on the latest BISP Phase 3 update, eligibility criteria, payment schedule, and how you can check your CNIC for payment confirmation.
What is BISP Phase 3?
The government disburses payments to eligible women through the BISP Kafalat program in four quarterly phases. These payments help women in poor families meet household expenses such as food, education, and basic health needs.
Phase 3 refers to the April–June 2025 payment cycle, where beneficiaries are expected to receive their regular quarterly stipend.
Is the Rs 27,000 a permanent increase?
The Rs 27,000 amount is not a permanent increase in the BISP installment. Instead, it was a one-time double payment provided in January 2025 to selected beneficiaries. This special double installment was given to women who missed their September 2024 payment due to verification issues, biometric failures, or other technical delays.
Each BISP installment is typically Rs 13,500 per quarter. So, when two payments were combined, it amounted to Rs 27,000 (13,500 × 2).
BISP Phase 3 (June 2025) Payment Details
For the current Phase 3 (April–June 2025) cycle:
- Amount: Rs 13,500
- Distribution Start Date: Began in June 2025
- Mode of Payment: ATMs, BISP Camps, Mobile Wallets (JazzCash/EasyPaisa)
Beneficiaries will only receive Rs 13,500 in Phase 3 unless they had previously missed their payment and were included in the special double disbursement earlier this year.
Who Was Eligible for the Rs 27,000 Double Payment?
The Rs 27,000 payment was only provided to those who:
- We’re already registered in the BISP Kafalat program.
- Missed the September 2024 payment due to technical issues.
- They were verified and cleared for payment by December 2024.
- Had not received any payment for the last two quarters.
The government confirmed that these payments were not new grants but rather a catch-up payment to settle pending dues for qualified individuals.
