The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) continues to serve as a vital social protection initiative in Pakistan, and the government has released major updates for June 2025 that bring much-needed relief and clarity for beneficiaries. From enhanced payments to new registration procedures and anti-corruption crackdowns, here’s everything you need to know about the latest developments.
New Payment Cycle Starts—Rs. 13,500 Disbursed
Starting from June 10, 2025, BISP began disbursing the latest installment of Rs. 13,500 to eligible families under the Kafalat Program. This timely distribution ensures that families can access financial support right after Eid-ul-Adha. The payment is being sent in phases across different regions, including Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan.
Beneficiaries are advised to check their payment status through the official BISP 8171 web portal or by sending their CNIC number to 8171 via SMS. If eligible, a confirmation message will be received, along with information about the payment center or bank where the money can be collected.

8171 Web Portal Improvements
The government has made several improvements to the 8171 web portal to make it more user-friendly and accessible. Key features include
- A responsive mobile design for easier access via smartphones
- Dual language support (Urdu and English)
- Security updates, including CAPTCHA verification
- Simplified process for checking eligibility, registration status, and complaints
These updates make the process of verifying eligibility and accessing payments more transparent and convenient for millions of Pakistani citizens.
Dynamic Survey Deadline – June 30, 2025
The BISP Dynamic Survey, which was introduced to reassess the eligibility of existing and new beneficiaries, is currently in progress and will continue until June 30, 2025. Households that haven’t updated their information are strongly encouraged to visit their nearest BISP office or designated registration center.
This survey is crucial for identifying deserving families and removing ineligible ones to ensure fair distribution of funds.
Retail & Bank-Based Payment Model
To avoid long queues, extreme heat exposure, and irregularities, BISP has moved away from large-scale campsites and adopted a retail and partner bank-based payment model. Now, beneficiaries can collect their payments from HBL, Bank Alfalah, and other partnered banking agents across the country.
This new model is expected to reduce corruption and improve transparency while offering greater convenience and accessibility.
⚠️ Crackdown on Illegal Deductions
In a significant anti-corruption move, authorities in the Sargodha district recently arrested 49 individuals for illegally deducting money from beneficiaries’ payments. Their equipment was seized, and action is being taken to ensure beneficiaries receive the full amount they are entitled to.
Beneficiaries are urged to report any deduction immediately via the BISP helpline or by visiting the nearest office. The government has assured that strict measures will be taken against those who exploit the poor and vulnerable.

Skill Development and Employment Programs
To empower families beyond financial aid, BISP has also launched a new skill development initiative. Under this program, selected individuals will receive vocational training in various fields,, including nursing, IT, and language courses (such as German and Chinese).
President Asif Ali Zardari officially launched the program in early June, emphasizing the need to prepare the Pakistani workforce for both domestic and international employment opportunities.
Federal Budget 2025–26—More Funds for BISP
The federal government has announced a significant increase in the BISP budget for the fiscal year 2025–26. According to the latest figures, over Rs. 716 billion has been allocated for the program, up from Rs. 592 billion the previous year. The expanded budget aims to include more families from remote areas such as Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and the merged tribal districts.
This increased funding reflects the government’s commitment to expanding the social safety net and protecting low-income families from rising inflation and economic instability.
