Good news for BISP beneficiaries! Starting August 2025, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) will begin a new bank-based payment system under the 8171 program. With this update, eligible women will get Rs. 13,500 directly in their personal bank accounts—no more standing in long lines, no agents, no hidden charges!
The government has launched a direct bank transfer system to make payments easier and safer for poor and deserving women. Instead of collecting money from camps or retailers, beneficiaries will now receive funds straight into their own bank accounts.
New BISP Bank Payment System (2025)
- Rs. 13,500 will be directly transferred to verified bank accounts
- No need to go to BISP camps or agents
- Payments can be withdrawn anytime through ATM or bank
- No deductions or commissions
- All transactions will be digitally recorded and secure
- Launch begins in Phase 4 from August 2025, gradually expanding to all districts

Why Is BISP Using Bank Transfers Now?
The new system has been introduced due to several complaints from the public:
- Long queues at payment camps
- Agent cuts or deductions
- Biometric thumbprint failures
- Delayed or partial payments
Now, every eligible woman will receive her full amount with dignity and security.
