The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially restarted its 8171 July 2025 payments, bringing relief to thousands of recently eligible women across Pakistan. Women who had previously completed their registration but were still waiting for their disbursement will now start receiving their Rs. 14,500 quarterly payment. This step reflects the government’s continued effort to ensure no deserving woman is left behind in the social welfare net.
With inflation on the rise, this financial support empowers low-income women to meet basic needs like food, education, and healthcare. The initiative also strengthens BISP’s broader vision of inclusive economic uplift through digital reforms and targeted outreach.
District-Level Rollout: Know Before You Visit
Although payments have restarted across most regions, some districts remain under temporary hold due to system upgrades. Before heading to your nearest payment center, it’s important to:
- Confirm if your district is active through SMS from 8171 or the official BISP portal
- Avoid unnecessary travel if your region is temporarily paused
- Stay updated via verified channels only
In active districts, women declared eligible can now visit their designated bank, campsite, or retail outlet to receive their payment after biometric verification.

✅ Who Qualifies for the Rs. 14,500 July Payment?
Eligibility is based on thorough screening using the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) and Proxy Means Test (PMT). You may qualify if:
- Your household income is less than Rs. 50,000/month
- You are a Pakistani citizen with a valid CNIC
- You are not receiving support from other major government aid programs
- Your PMT score is 32 or below (or up to 35 for widows or families with disabled members)
- You are a woman—widow, divorced, or head of household
If you’ve recently completed registration and match these criteria, your disbursement will likely begin this cycle.
💸 How to Collect Your Rs. 14,500 Payment Easily
Once declared eligible, follow these steps for a smooth collection:
- Wait for the official SMS from 8171 confirming your eligibility
- Take your original, valid CNIC to your assigned payment location
- Visit any authorized BISP camp, ATM, bank branch, JazzCash, or Easypaisa outlet
- Complete biometric verification using your thumbprint
- Collect your full Rs. 14,500 and request a receipt
- Count your cash on-site and keep the receipt for future proof
Important: Never respond to unofficial SMS or third-party requests. BISP communication comes only from 8171.
💳 Biometric Payment Cards – A New Digital Shift
In July 2025, BISP also began rolling out 200,000 biometric payment cards across the country. These cards are:
- Linked to your CNIC and fingerprints
- Usable at ATMs, mobile banking apps, and partnered retailers
- Designed to reduce fraud and eliminate middlemen
- Empowering women with secure, flexible digital access to their funds
The digital transition aims to make payments faster, safer, and more transparent—while building a modern welfare system.

✅ Do’s and Don’ts for BISP Beneficiaries
✔ Do’s:
- Always carry your original CNIC
- Verify your status via 8171 SMS or official BISP website
- Visit only authorized payment points
- Save your receipt after collection
- Update NSER data if your family status has changed
❌ Don’ts:
- Don’t pay anyone—BISP services are 100% free
- Don’t respond to messages not from 8171
- Don’t go to a center if your district is on hold
- Don’t use an expired CNIC—your verification will be rejected
⚡ Extra Benefit: Electricity Subsidy for Small Consumers
Eligible BISP households using less than 200 electricity units per month can now receive a discount on their monthly bill. To qualify:
- Ensure your NSER data is up to date
- Confirm your utility connection details match your CNIC
- Watch for subsidy notifications on your electricity bill
This helps reduce both financial stress and household utility costs, offering well-rounded support to low-income families.
