BISP September 2025 Update – Registration, Eligibility & New Payment System

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has rolled out a new update in September 2025, making the payment and registration process more transparent, secure, and convenient. Under Phase 2 of the Payment Verification System, beneficiaries can now receive their financial assistance with improved efficiency, reduced delays, and enhanced fraud protection.

This upgrade especially focuses on women empowerment, enabling female beneficiaries to access their payments directly through bank accounts, retail outlets, ATMs, and digital wallets.

What’s New in September 2025?

Bank Accounts for Women

Women beneficiaries in Karachi, Lahore, Quetta, Gilgit, Muzaffarabad, and Peshawar are now being provided dedicated bank accounts. This step ensures direct access to funds, financial independence, and better transparency.

Retail Outlet Payments

Instead of standing in long queues at camps, beneficiaries can now collect payments at authorized retail outlets. Each transaction includes biometric verification and a printed receipt for record keeping.

Digital Banking & ATMs

With ATM access, debit cards, and digital wallets, BISP beneficiaries can easily withdraw payments at any time. Staggered disbursements have also been introduced to avoid system errors and delays.

CNIC Lookup & SMS Service

Beneficiaries can now confirm their assigned bank, branch, and payment date by sending their CNIC number to 8171 or checking through the official BISP portal.

How to Check Your BISP Eligibility (8171 Portal Guide)

1. Check Eligibility – Send your CNIC to 8171 or verify via the official BISP 8171 portal.
2. Note Assigned Bank/Outlet – Visit only the assigned branch or retail outlet on the given date. Random visits may result in rejection.
3. Bring Valid CNIC – Ensure your CNIC is valid and renewed. Expired CNICs will not be accepted.
