The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has made a significant update in June 2025. If you are a beneficiary under the BISP 8171 initiative, this change directly affects how you receive your financial assistance. Instead of collecting your quarterly installment from traditional camp locations, you will now use a new, retailer-based system. This shift is designed to simplify the process and make it more efficient and accessible for millions of families across Pakistan.
What’s Changed in the BISP Payment Process?
BISP previously relied on designated camp sites where beneficiaries gathered to collect their payments. These camps often involved long queues, uncomfortable conditions, and limited privacy. Starting June 2025, that system is being phased out.
Now, BISP recipients will collect payments directly from approved retailer shops across the country. These shops are equipped with biometric verification systems to authenticate the recipient using their CNIC before releasing the funds.

This new method:
-
Replaces camp-based disbursements
-
Requires biometric verification
-
Can be accessed through local authorized shops
-
Is valid for all eligible beneficiaries with updated records
Why This Update Was Necessary
The switch to a retailer-based model aims to solve multiple ongoing issues:
-
Ease of access: Shops are more widespread than campsites and closer to homes.
-
Time-saving: No need to wait in long lines or travel long distances.
-
Transparency: Reduces chances of corruption or unauthorized deductions.
-
Dignity-focused: The system supports women by providing a private and secure method of payment.
For many rural and low-income women, this is a step toward greater financial independence and respect.
