What’s New BISP Payment in July 2025?

Why Were Districts Moved from BISP Phase 1 to Phase 2?
According to BISP officials and local sources, the reason for this shift is largely due to technical issues and logistical delays. In some areas, banks and designated BISP payment centers faced technical faults in biometric verification systems. Moreover, Eid-ul-Azha holidays also disrupted the original payment schedule, especially in remote regions where connectivity and staffing were limited. To ensure smooth delivery and transparency, the authorities decided to reschedule payments for some Phase 1 districts and move them into Phase 2 instead.
Which BISP Payment Districts Are Affected?
While BISP hasn’t officially published the complete new district-wise list on their portal, reports from multiple areas confirm that many districts from Punjab, Sindh, and KP have been rescheduled for Phase 2 disbursement. People from districts like
- Layyah
- Lodhran
- Bahawalnagar
- Larkana
- Bannu
- Swabi
have reported delays in their July payments. These districts were part of Phase 1 initially but are now seeing rescheduled payment dates under Phase 2.

What Should BISP Beneficiaries Do?
If you or someone in your family hasn’t received the July 2025 payment yet, don’t panic. Here’s what you need to do:
- Check Your Payment Status Online:
Visit the official portal: 8171portal.bisp.gov.pk and enter your CNIC to check your current payment status. - Wait for SMS Confirmation:
BISP always sends a confirmation message from 8171 when your installment is ready for collection. If you haven’t received any SMS, then it means your payment is still in process. - Avoid Going to the Center Unnecessarily:
Many people are crowding banks and BISP offices without receiving confirmation. This only creates long lines and problems. Wait until you receive a proper message before visiting your payment center.

Final Thoughts
The BISP program is undoubtedly doing its part to provide support to low-income families. However, technical challenges and ground-level issues often lead to such delays. The important thing is to stay informed and avoid rumors. Many false messages are circulating on social media, creating unnecessary worry.
If your district has been shifted to Phase 2, your payment is not cancelled—it’s simply delayed by a few days. BISP has assured that all pending payments will be disbursed without any deductions, and strict monitoring is being done to stop any kind of corruption or unfair deductions at the agent level. Let’s also remind our fellow citizens to report any misuse or deduction of money. You can call the BISP helpline 0800-26477 or visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office to file a complaint.
Stay patient, stay updated, and spread awareness.
