The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is once again bringing relief to poor families in Pakistan. After delays caused by technical checks and verification issues, the government has officially confirmed that BISP payments will resume on 25 September 2025.
This announcement has given hope to millions of women and families who rely on these installments for food, education, and daily expenses. Let’s break down who will receive money, how much you can get, and the step-by-step process to collect your payment.
Why Were BISP Payments Delayed?
Before resuming the payments, the government carried out several system updates to ensure transparency. The main reasons for the delay included:
-
Removal of fake or duplicate entries from the database.
-
Stronger biometric verification to ensure payments reach the right people.
-
Investigations into fraud and illegal deductions by middlemen.
-
Cross-checking beneficiary data with NADRA records.
Now that these checks are complete, payments will be released again from 25 September 2025.
Who Will Receive BISP Payments in September 2025?
Not every household will automatically receive money. Payments will only go to those who meet the updated eligibility criteria. Families that will get the installment include:
-
Women registered under the BISP Kafalat Program with a valid CNIC.
-
Households with a poverty score within the government’s set range.
-
Beneficiaries who successfully completed biometric verification.
-
Children enrolled under Taleemi Wazaif for education stipends.
-
Families cleared during the recent verification process.
How Much Money Will Be Given in September 2025?
The government has shared the updated payment details for September 2025:
| Program Name | Payment Amount (PKR) | Beneficiaries |
|---|---|---|
| BISP Kafalat | Rs. 9,000 – 10,500 | Poor households |
| BISP Special Installment | Rs. 13,500 | Selected families |
| Taleemi Wazaif (per child) | Rs. 2,500 – 4,500 | Students in schools |
👉 This means families will not only get their main installment, but also educational stipends for children.
