The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) continues to be a major lifeline for millions of underprivileged families across Pakistan. As of June 2025, the Government of Pakistan has introduced several key updates to the BISP Kafaalat Program, including a payment increase, digital monitoring, and mandatory verification. Here is a detailed guide covering everything beneficiaries need to know about the latest BISP payment update and how to access the funds smoothly.
Increased Payment: Rs. 13,500 for the April–June Cycle
To address rising inflation and living costs, the government has raised the quarterly BISP payment from Rs. 10,500 to Rs. 13,500. This increase applies to the April–June 2025 cycle and is now being disbursed across Pakistan. This increment was approved under the latest fiscal adjustments and is expected to provide significant relief to registered low-income families.
Disbursement Timeline: June 1 to June 30, 2025
Payments under the BISP Kafaalat program for this quarter began on June 1, 2025, and will continue until June 30, 2025. However, disbursement is being carried out in phases, region by region. Beneficiaries are encouraged to wait for a confirmation SMS from 8171 before visiting payment centres to avoid overcrowding and ensure their funds are ready.

Kindly send your 13-digit CNIC number (without dashes) to 8171. You will receive a reply confirming your payment status. You will receive instructions on where to collect your payment if it is available.
2. BISP Web Portal
Visit the official 8171.bisp.gov.pk portal. Enter your CNIC number and the captcha code to check your eligibility and payment information.
3. Local Office Assistance
If you’re unable to confirm online, visit the nearest BISP Tehsil office or help centre with your CNIC for in-person verification.
Where and How to Collect Your Payment
Once you receive confirmation of payment, you can collect your funds from the following authorized channels:
- HBL Bank ATMs (for those with biometric-enabled accounts)
- Bank Alfalah branches
- Designated BISP Campsites
- HBL Konnect and other registered agents
All cases require biometric verification, so ensure your fingerprint matches with NADRA records.

Mandatory Recertification Deadline: June 30, 2025
A critical development in 2025 is the requirement for all long-term BISP beneficiaries to complete a new NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) dynamic survey. The purpose is to ensure that only genuinely eligible households continue to receive support.
Who Needs to Recertify?
- Anyone who has been receiving BISP payments for more than three years
- Those whose family or income status has changed
What You Need to Do
- Visit the nearest BISP office or NSER registration center
- Bring your CNIC and B-Form of children (if applicable)
- Complete the digital survey form
- Await a confirmation SMS from 8171
Failure to recertify by June 30, 2025, may result in suspension of future payments.
Common Problems and Their Solutions
- No SMS was received? It’s possible that your SIM isn’t associated with your CNIC. Visit your network provider to update.
- Biometric Verification Failed? Visit a NADRA office to update your fingerprint data, then retry after a few days.
- Payment Delayed in Your District? Check the BISP Portal or call the helpline (0800-26477) for regional rollout updates.
Looking Ahead: Potential Increase in 2026
The federal government has proposed increasing the BISP Kafaalat quarterly payment to Rs. 14,500 by January 2026, depending on economic conditions and IMF-supported fiscal reforms. This proposed increase, if approved, will help BISP beneficiaries keep up with inflation and economic changes.
Final Words
The BISP program remains a critical pillar of financial assistance in Pakistan. With the increased payment of Rs. 13,500 for June 2025, improved verification systems, and a new NSER survey in place, the program aims to be both effective and transparent. If you’re a beneficiary, make sure to complete your recertification, verify your payment status, and collect your funds safely.
