BISP just brought some much-needed relief for millions of families across Pakistan. Starting from July 2025, the new quarterly installment under the Benazir Income Support Programme has officially been increased to Rs 14,500. If you’re already registered or planning to check your status, here’s everything you need to know—explained in simple words.

What’s the Big News in July 2025?

The government has decided to increase the regular BISP payment from Rs 13,500 to Rs 14,500. That’s an extra Rs 1,000 for every eligible household, and it’s already being distributed across Pakistan.

This change is part of a larger effort to ease the pressure of rising food prices, school fees, and utility bills. The best part? You don’t have to apply again. If you’re already eligible, the system will update your payment amount automatically.

Who Can Get the Rs 14,500 Payment?

If you’ve received BISP payments in the past or you’re wondering if you qualify now, here’s a quick checklist:

• You are already registered under BISP or Ehsaas.

• Your CNIC is valid and not expired.

• Your family income is low, and you fall under the qualifying range set by the NSER (survey).

• Your biometric and survey details are up to date.

• You haven’t been marked for duplicate or fraudulent applications.

You do not need to register again. The increase applies automatically if you’re still eligible.

When Will You Receive the Payment?

Payments have already started in several cities and districts as of early July 2025. The rollout is happening in phases, so your area might get it a little later. If your status says “Payment Rs 14,500 ready,” you can go to a payment center or collection point right away.

Facing Problems? Here’s What to Do

Important Tips for a Smooth Experience

• Always use the SIM registered under your CNIC for SMS.

• Double-check your CNIC number before sending it to 8171.

• Complete the NSER dynamic survey if your data is outdated.

• Don’t rely on agents—all services are free.

• Keep a copy of any confirmation message you receive.

How and Where to Collect the Payment

Once your status says “Payment ready,” go to any of these locations with your original CNIC:

• BISP camps set up in your district.

• HBL Konnect or Bank Alfalah agents.

• Designated ATMs or payment booths (where available).

• Mobile vans in remote or hard-to-reach areas.

They will verify your fingerprint and hand over the Rs 14,500 in cash. If your fingerprint doesn’t match, staff can help update your biometric record.

Final Thoughts

This increase in BISP payments is a big help for many families dealing with high living costs. It’s automatic, simple to claim, and available through multiple channels. Just make sure your CNIC and biometric data are updated so you can receive your support on time.

If you have any issues, don’t panic—help is just an SMS, phone call, or visit away.
