The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially launched the third and final payment phase of its 8171 April–June 2025 installment. This new phase targets families who missed the earlier two due to technical glitches, eligibility confusion, or incomplete documentation. The amount of Rs. 13,500 will be disbursed just in time to support families before Eid-ul-Adha, offering timely financial relief when it’s needed the most.
In recent months, the rise in inflation and essential goods has made it harder for low-income households to meet their daily needs. This payment aims to ease the burden by offering direct financial support. If you or someone in your family is registered with BISP and met the eligibility requirements, your payment is likely included in this round.
Disbursement Across Districts with Improved Setup
Unlike earlier phases, this round includes more organized payment camps, smoother biometric verification, and broader district coverage. BISP has refined the disbursement model to ensure that beneficiaries can receive their funds securely and efficiently across all provinces.
Camps are being set up district-wide, each equipped with biometric machines and a dedicated support team. Meanwhile, ATMs from HBL and Bank Alfalah have been activated to serve as additional payment channels. Retailer agents in both urban and rural areas also play a role, ensuring everyone gets access regardless of their location.
Eid Holidays to Temporarily Pause Payments
BISP began this payment phase on June 1, 2025. However, due to the Eid-ul-Adha holidays from June 6 to June 12, there will be a short pause in disbursements. Payments will resume from June 13, with full services expected to return to normal by June 16. The deadline to complete all payments is June 30, 2025.
Beneficiaries are advised not to visit centers during public holidays or weekends, as most camps will be closed. Instead, plan your visit after verifying your eligibility and payment status via the official BISP channels.
Payment Channels by Province
To reduce crowding and confusion, BISP is utilizing region-specific channels:
-
Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan: Payments are made through HBL Konnect retailer agents.
-
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, AJK, Gilgit-Baltistan: Disbursements are handled by Bank Alfalah agents.
Biometric verification is mandatory at all collection points. If your thumbprint doesn’t match, you’ll need to update your records at a NADRA office before attempting again.
