In July 2025, finally BISP 8171 payments restarted for those women who were registered but didn’t receive any payment earlier.

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has confirmed that newly verified women are now being included in the payment cycle and will receive Rs. 14,500 per quarter. This move by the government ensures that deserving families, especially widow-led or low-income households, are not left behind.
