BISP 13500 June Payment Final Phase: Key Details

The June 2025 installment of Rs. 13,500 is crucial for many families. This payment phase has been a transition, moving away from the traditional, often overcrowded, campsite distribution system. The final phase in June emphasizes the new retail payment model to ensure all eligible beneficiaries receive their funds efficiently.

Key aspects of the June 2025 payment:

  • Amount: Rs. 13,500 quarterly installment. While the July 2025 payment is set to increase to Rs. 14,500, the June payment remains at Rs. 13,500.
  • Reissuance of Missed Payments: A significant focus of this phase is the reissuance of payments that were previously returned due to technical or verification issues (e.g., biometric failures, blocked accounts, CNIC-SIM mismatches). Beneficiaries who faced such issues for earlier installments (e.g., January-March 2025) are now able to receive those pending amounts, sometimes resulting in a combined payment of up to Rs. 17,000 (if previous unpaid installments are combined with the current Kafalat cycle payment).
  • Deadline: Beneficiaries were advised to collect their payments before June 30, 2025, to avoid potential cancellation or rollover to the next quarter. However, some sources indicate a later deadline, like July 30, 2025, for combined payments, so it’s essential to check your specific status.

The New Retail Payment System: Features and Benefits

The new retail payment system, officially launched around June 16, 2025, is a significant reform by BISP to improve the beneficiary experience. This system replaces the older campsite model in many areas, particularly to safeguard beneficiaries from harsh weather conditions and reduce long queues.

Key features of the new retail payment system:

  • Expanded Collection Channels:
    • Authorized Retail Agents/Shops: This is the primary channel. Beneficiaries can collect payments from nearby authorized shops and retail agents (e.g., HBL Konnect retailers, JazzCash agents) equipped with biometric verification devices.
    • Designated Bank Branches: Selected branches of partner banks (like HBL and Bank Alfalah) continue to facilitate payments.
    • Pakistan Post Office (Pilot): In some selected districts, BISP is piloting payment collection through Pakistan Post Office branches, further expanding accessibility.
    • ATM Services: ATM withdrawals have been reintroduced in some districts for beneficiaries with BISP debit cards or CNIC-based withdrawal options.
  • Biometric Verification: Strict biometric (thumbprint) verification is mandatory at all collection points. This ensures payments reach the rightful beneficiary and minimizes fraud. Beneficiaries must bring their original CNIC for verification.
  • Convenient Access: Payments are brought closer to beneficiaries’ homes, reducing the need for long travel and waiting times at distant campsites.
  • No Deductions: The system aims to eliminate unauthorized deductions by middlemen. Beneficiaries are supposed to receive the full Rs. 13,500 (or the combined amount).
  • Transparency and Security: Each transaction is digitally recorded, and beneficiaries are provided with a printed receipt, enhancing transparency. The biometric verification adds a layer of security, ensuring only the eligible woman receives the money.
  • Dignity and Ease: The new model provides a more dignified and comfortable experience for beneficiaries, especially women and the elderly, who previously faced difficulties at crowded campsites.
  • Daily Disbursements: Payments are often distributed daily, with availability in some areas even 24/7.

How to Track Your BISP 13500 June Payment and Access Funds

The process for tracking your payment and collecting it under the new system is straightforward.

Step 1: Check Your Payment Status

Before visiting any collection point, confirm your eligibility and payment status.

  • BISP 8171 SMS Service:
    1. Open your mobile phone’s messaging app.
    2. Type your 13-digit CNIC number (without dashes or spaces).
    3. Send the message to 8171.
    4. You will receive an SMS reply indicating your eligibility and payment status, often with instructions on where to collect your funds.
  • BISP 8171 Web Portal:
    1. Visit the official BISP 8171 web portal: 8171.bisp.gov.pk.
    2. Enter your 13-digit CNIC number and the security captcha.
    3. Click “Check Status” (معلوم کریں). The portal will display your eligibility, payment amount, and assigned collection method/location.
  • BISP Tehsil Office: If online or SMS methods are unclear, or if you are instructed to visit an office, go to your nearest BISP Tehsil Office with your original CNIC. BISP staff can provide detailed information and assistance.
  • BISP Toll-Free Helpline: You can also call 0800-26477 and provide your CNIC to inquire about your payment status.

Step 2: Collect Your Payment

Once your status confirms payment disbursement:

  1. Gather Documents: You must have your original, valid Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC). No photocopies are accepted.
  2. Visit Designated Location: Go to the authorized retail agent/shop, designated bank branch, or BISP campsite mentioned in your 8171 SMS or on the web portal.
  3. Complete Biometric Verification: At the collection point, provide your original CNIC for biometric (thumbprint) verification. Ensure your hands are clean for a clear scan.
  4. Receive Full Payment: Upon successful verification, you will receive the full Rs. 13,500 (or the combined amount if previous installments were due). Do not pay any deductions or fees to the agent.
  5. Demand Receipt: Always insist on a printed receipt as proof of transaction.

Important Considerations and Fraud Prevention

  • No Service Charges: All BISP services, including checking your status, registration, and payment collection, are entirely free of charge. If anyone demands a fee or commission, it is a scam.
  • Report Fraud: Immediately report any attempts of fraud, unauthorized deductions, or demands for money to the BISP toll-free helpline (0800-26477) or your nearest BISP Tehsil Office.
  • Valid CNIC: Ensure your CNIC is valid and unexpired. An expired CNIC will prevent you from collecting your payment.
  • Biometric Issues: If you encounter biometric verification issues, visit your nearest NADRA office to update your fingerprints, then return to the BISP collection point. If problems persist, visit a BISP Tehsil Office for assistance or manual verification.
  • Official Communications: Only trust information from the official BISP 8171 SMS (shortcode), the 8171.bisp.gov.pk website, or direct announcements from BISP officials. Beware of fake messages or calls from unknown numbers.
  • Upcoming Payments: Remember that the quarterly BISP Kafalat payment is scheduled to increase to Rs. 14,500 starting from July 2025. Stay updated through official channels for future payment schedules.

Conclusion

The BISP 13500 June Payment Final Phase marks a significant milestone in the Benazir Income Support Programme’s efforts to enhance its disbursement efficiency and beneficiary experience through the new retail payment system. By providing multiple, convenient, and secure collection channels like authorized retail agents, bank branches, and potentially Post Offices, BISP is ensuring that financial aid reaches deserving families in Taunsa, Punjab, and across Pakistan with greater dignity and transparency. Beneficiaries are encouraged to utilize the 8171 SMS service or web portal to check their payment status and collect their full entitlement, remaining vigilant against fraud.
