New Payment Method for BISP Families
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has introduced a new retailer-based payment system starting July 2025. This update aims to make cash withdrawal faster, safer, and more convenient for thousands of low-income families across Pakistan. Instead of waiting in long queues at camps or banks, families can now collect their payments from approved retail agents close to their homes.
This change is a major improvement for women and families living in remote areas. It saves travel time, reduces fraud, and offers a more respectful way to receive financial support.
What’s New in July 2025?
BISP beneficiaries will now receive an increased quarterly payment of Rs. 14,500, up from Rs. 13,500. The amount is transferred through trusted retailers such as JazzCash, HBL Konnect, EasyPaisa, and Bank of Punjab agents. These agents use biometric verification to ensure that the payment is received by the right person.
The process is simple: visit an approved shop, show your original CNIC, and verify with your thumbprint. Once confirmed, you’ll receive your cash along with a receipt.
Who Is Eligible for This Payment?
You can benefit from the new BISP payment system if:
Your monthly household income is under Rs. 50,000.
You are registered in the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry).
You have a valid CNIC.
The head of the family is a woman, such as a widow, single mother, or senior female guardian.
You are not receiving any other major government financial aid.
You do not own any expensive assets like cars, land, or businesses.
BISP also supports elderly citizens, people with disabilities, and transgender individuals under this system.

If you’re not yet registered, don’t worry. Here’s how to apply:

Take your original CNIC.
Complete the NSER survey with the help of staff.
If applying for Taleemi Wazaif, also bring your children’s B-Forms.
Wait for a confirmation SMS from 8171.
You can also check your eligibility by sending your CNIC number via SMS to 8171 or by visiting the official BISP portal.
Collecting Your Rs. 14,500 Payment

Use your thumbprint for biometric verification.

Key Benefits of the New System
Closer Access: No need to travel far; agents are available in local areas.
Time-Saving: No long lines or delays.
Secure Payments: Biometric verification ensures only the right person receives the cash.
Women Empowerment: Payments go directly to female heads of households.

Be Cautious and Stay Safe
While the new system is helpful, there are still some common mistakes to avoid:
Never share your CNIC number or thumbprint with strangers.
Don’t trust anyone offering faster payments in exchange for money.
Always bring original documents, not copies.
Call the BISP helpline (0800-26477) if you have doubts or need help.
What’s Next for BISP?
The government has big plans to expand this system further. More agents will be added in rural areas, and digital wallets will soon allow payments through mobile apps. This shift is designed to make Pakistan’s social support system smarter, faster, and fairer.
