In August 2025, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) will issue a double payment of Rs. 27,000 for eligible women across Pakistan. This special payout covers two payment cycles at once—helping families catch up and meet urgent needs.
The standard amount is Rs. 13,500, but if you missed a previous payment, you may now receive Rs. 27,000 in a lump sum for August 2025.
Why This Double Payment?
- Many women missed earlier payments due to issues like biometric failures, verification delays, or incomplete surveys.
- The double payment eases financial burden by combining the overdue amount with the current one.
Who Qualifies?
To receive the Rs. 27,000 in August 2025, you must:
- Be a registered BISP woman, listed in the NSER database.
- Have a valid CNIC recognized in NADRA records.
- Have a household PMT (Proxy Means Test) score below the cut-off, typically under 32.
- Not be employed by the government or possess high-value assets.
How to Check If You Qualify
- By SMS (via 8171):
- Open SMS app.
- Type your 13-digit CNIC (no dashes).
- Send to 8171. You’ll get a reply with your eligibility and payment status.
- Through the Web Portal:
- Visit the official BISP 8171 portal.
- Enter your CNIC and captcha.
- Click “Check” to view your status.
Both methods are free and available across Pakistan.
How to Collect the Payment
Once eligible:
- Visit your nearest BISP tehsil office, payment center, partner bank, or biometric ATM.
- Carry your original CNIC and the 8171 SMS confirmation (if you have it).
- At the collection point, your biometric verification (fingerprint) will be checked via NADRA.
What If Biometric Verification Fails?
- Go to the nearest NADRA office to update your biometrics (e.g., new fingerprints).
- After updating, try again at a payment center.
- Now, NADRA and BISP data are real-time linked, making verification smoother.
Important Dates (Phase-wise Release)
- Payments began in mid-July 2025 and are continuing into August.
- Specific dates vary by region; check your SMS or portal for your phase and timeline.
