The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has announced that Phase 3 of the July 2025 payments will officially begin within the next few days. After the successful rollout of Phases 1 and 2, this final stage will cover remote and previously delayed areas in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan. Families who were marked eligible but couldn’t collect their Rs. 13,500 assistance earlier will now be able to receive their payments without delay.
If you’re one of those still waiting for your payment, now is the time to check your status and prepare the required documents.
Who Will Receive Payments in Phase 3?
BISP Phase 3 targets districts that faced delays in earlier phases due to biometric issues, overcrowded centers, or technical glitches. The following areas are confirmed to be part of this phase:
Southern Punjab (Dera Ghazi Khan, Rajanpur, Layyah, etc.)
Urban and pending areas in Lahore, Sialkot, and Gujranwala
Sindh cities like Sukkur, Larkana, and Hyderabad
Selected districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including Swat and Mardan
If your name was on the beneficiary list but your payment was delayed earlier, it’s highly likely you’ll receive it now under Phase 3.

Common Issues and Quick Fixes
SMS Received, But No Payment:
This may be due to server delays or biometric mismatches. Visit your local BISP center for re-verification.
Biometric Verification Failure:
Try another finger. If it still fails, update your fingerprints at NADRA, then revisit the payment center.
Name Missing from List:
Possible reasons include CNIC spelling errors, mobile number issues, or outdated NADRA records. Visit your nearest BISP office to request a correction.

Visit the center early to avoid long lines.
Only collect payment from official BISP centers or authorized agents.
Do not give money to any person promising faster service.
Carry all original documents for verification.
Check your CNIC status online before visiting the center.

The next BISP payment cycle is expected to begin in October 2025. The payment amount is likely to remain Rs. 13,500 unless officially updated. More families will be added under the Dynamic Survey 2025, so make sure your household details are correctly updated at the nearest BISP Tehsil Office.
