The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) remains Pakistan’s top social protection program, providing monetary assistance to millions of poor families. As we approach 2025, there are important updates on the payment schedule, eligibility, and payment methods that all beneficiaries should be aware of.
This article provides the latest BISP news and the entire monthly payment calendar for 2025.
What is BISP?
Instituted in 2008, the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is a government-funded program to eradicate poverty and empower poor families, particularly women. It offers unconditional cash support to deserving families throughout Pakistan.
BISP New Updates for 2025
Following are the most vital updates that have been announced by the government for the BISP scheme for 2025:
- Increased Monthly Stipend
The cash amount on a monthly basis has been raised from Rs. 9,000 to Rs. 10,500 to factor in inflation and economic difficulties.
This hike began in January 2025, and all recipients are now receiving Rs. 10,500 per payment cycle.
- New Registration Drive
There is a countrywide survey (NSER 2025) running for new registrations and for revising household information.
Those families previously disqualified or who did not participate in the previous survey can currently apply again.
- Payment System
BISP is moving towards a safer, biometric-based payment system.
The payments will be routed via bank accounts, ATMs, and partner retailers, lowering fraud and delays.
- BISP Mobile App Launched
A new BISP Mobile App was also introduced in mid-2025, enabling beneficiaries to:
Check the status of payment
Monitor registration
Location of nearby payment centers
Support or complain
- Education and Health Incentives
Under Benazir Taleemi Wazaif and Benazir Nashonuma schemes, more incentives are being offered for families who have children in school and receive maternal health checkups.
