The Pakistan Post Office has launched a new system in July 2025 to help women collect their Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) payments easily and safely—right from their nearest post office. This update is especially helpful for women in rural areas who often face difficulties visiting far-off banks or standing in long queues for hours.
This article provides a simple, clear guide to help you understand how to receive your BISP payment through the post office without confusion or hassle.
Why This New System Matters
Many women—especially widows, single mothers, or those without access to banking—often struggle with getting their government assistance. Common issues include:
Long travel distances to BISP centers
Lack of access to ATMs or bank accounts
Biometric verification failures at banks
Unclear instructions and delays
Now, with post office-based distribution, women can receive their payment:
Closer to home – no need for expensive travel
Face-to-face support – get help in real-time
No unnecessary deductions – payments are full and official
Faster delivery – less crowd, more efficiency
Who Can Receive Payments Through the Post Office?
This method is available to:
Women already registered under BISP Kafalat
Widows or single mothers eligible for government support
Women without ATM access or nearby bank branches
If you’re not sure whether you qualify, visit your nearest post office or speak to a local BISP field representative.
Step-by-Step: How the Payment Process Works
1. Meeting Announcement
Local post offices will announce payment dates using:
SMS from official BISP numbers (8171)
Local mosque or community center announcements
Posters at clinics or schools
2. Bring Your Documents
Make sure you bring the following:
Your original CNIC
Any BISP message or card showing your eligibility
3. Name Verification
Staff at the post office will check your CNIC against the official BISP list to confirm you’re a beneficiary.
4. Collect Your Payment
Once verified, you’ll receive your full Rs. 13,500 (or other amount based on latest disbursement)—no fee, no deduction.
5. Get Assistance If Needed
Post office staff are trained to answer questions and guide women who may face issues with future payments or documents.
