The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has announced promising news for families across Pakistan: July 2025 payments of Rs. 13,500 are being fully resumed! Households that had their payments halted due to verification issues are now eligible to receive overdue and current installments. Here’s a detailed guide to help you understand eligibility, verify your status, and collect your payment smoothly.
Why Were Payments Paused?
Many beneficiaries saw their payments suspended due to:
-
Expired CNICs or missing identity documents
-
Biometric mismatches, such as incorrect thumb impressions
-
Incomplete family information or changed addresses
-
Unverified NSER survey results
Thousands of families faced uncertainty. Now that BISP has completed a nationwide review, affected beneficiaries can expect payments to resume.

Real-Life Example
Mrs. Saira from a village near Multan had her payments stopped due to an expired CNIC. After renewing it with NADRA last month, she received a message on July 3: “Eligible for Rs. 13,500.” She visited the nearby school campsite on July 15, scanned her thumbprint, and received both her pending and current payments—without paying any fee or encountering delays.
