Understanding BISP Payments in June 2025

BISP is the biggest program in Pakistan that helps families who are struggling financially. It gives money every three months to deserving women and their households. For June 2025, the standard payment amount for eligible families under the Benazir Kafalat program was Rs 13,500. This money is meant to help families buy food, pay for basic needs, and support their children’s education.

Key Payment Updates for June 2025:

  • Payment Amount: The regular quarterly payment is Rs 13,500.
  • Payment Schedule (Phases):
    • Payments started in a few pilot districts in the first week of June (around June 1-6).
    • There was a short break during the Eid-ul-Adha holidays (June 7-12).
    • The full payment rollout across most of the country began from June 13 and continued until June 30, 2025.
    • Important Deadline: Families were strongly advised to collect their June BISP payment before June 30, 2025. If not collected by this date, the payment might have been cancelled for that quarter or rolled over to the next cycle. Payments are still being processed for new beneficiaries or those with cleared issues in early July.
  • New Payment Locations: Besides regular BISP campsites and bank agents (like HBL Konnect), some payments in certain areas might now also be collected from designated Pakistan Post Office branches, making it easier for many.

Are You Eligible for BISP Payments? Latest Criteria for June 2025

To make sure that financial help reaches the right families, BISP has clear rules about who can get the money. Here are the main things BISP looked for in June 2025:

  • Female Head of Household: The woman in the family is usually the main person who receives the money. This helps to empower women.
  • Low Poverty Score (PMT): BISP uses a special score called PMT (Proxy Means Test). Your family’s PMT score must generally be 32 or lower. This score checks how poor a family is, based on things like income, family size, and how you live. For some special cases, like widows or people with disabilities, the score might be a little higher, like up to 35. You can check your PMT score online via 8171.
  • Valid CNIC: You must have a valid 13-digit Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) issued by NADRA.
  • Biometric Verification: When you collect money, your fingerprints must match your CNIC records. This is called biometric verification and helps prevent fraud.
  • Not a Government Employee: No one in your family should be working for the government or receiving a government pension.
  • No Other Big Aid: You should not be getting large amounts of money from other big government support programs at the same time.
  • Updated NSER Survey Data: Many existing beneficiaries, especially those who had been receiving payments for three years or more, were asked to complete a mandatory NSER Dynamic Survey June 2025 by June 30, 2025. If you didn’t update your family information through this survey, your payments could be stopped.
  • Ramadan Relief Recipient: If you received the Rs 5,000 Ramadan Relief Package and your PMT score was below 32, you might have been automatically included for the June BISP payment without needing to do much extra.

How to Check Your BISP 8171 Status (It’s Easy!)

BISP has made it very easy to check your eligibility and payment status using your CNIC. Even if you don’t have internet, there are ways to find out.

1. The Fastest Way: SMS Your CNIC to 8171

This is the quickest method and works on any mobile phone.

  • Open your message app on your phone.
  • Type your 13-digit CNIC number carefully. Do not use any spaces or dashes.
  • Send this message to 8171.
  • Wait for a reply. You will get an SMS back very quickly (usually within a few minutes). This message will tell you if you are eligible and if your Rs 13,500 payment is ready for collection.

2. Use the BISP 8171 Web Portal (Online Check)

If you have internet access, the official BISP web portal is very helpful.

  • Go to the website: Open your internet browser and type 8171.bisp.gov.pk in the address bar.
  • Enter your CNIC: Put your 13-digit CNIC number in the box.
  • Solve the simple puzzle: Type the letters or numbers you see in the picture (this is called a captcha).
  • Click “Check Status”: The website will then show you if you are eligible and if your payment has been released. This is great for a detailed BISP 8171 online check.

3. Call the Official BISP Helpline

If you have questions or problems, you can talk to someone directly.

  • Dial 0800-26477: This is the official BISP toll-free helpline number.
  • Follow instructions: Listen carefully and press the numbers to speak to a BISP representative.
  • Provide your CNIC: Tell the agent your CNIC number, and they will check your status for you.

4. Visit Your Nearest BISP Tehsil Office

If other methods don’t work or you need to update your details, go to a BISP office.

  • Take your original CNIC: This is a must.
  • Get help: The staff can check your status, help you update your NSER survey details, or resolve any biometric issues that might be stopping your payment. This is especially useful if your BISP web portal not working.

How to Safely Collect Your Rs 13,500 Payment

Once you know your payment is ready, follow these tips to collect it safely:

  • Take Your Original CNIC: You will need it for biometric verification (fingerprint scan).
  • Go to Authorized Centers Only: Collect your payment from official BISP campsites, designated bank branches (like HBL or Bank Alfalah, or Bank of Punjab), or authorized retailers. Do not go to private shops unless they are officially approved BISP agents.
  • No Charges: Remember, all BISP services, including checking your status and getting your money, are 100% FREE. Do not give any money to anyone who asks for a fee or commission. Report them immediately to the BISP helpline.
  • Count Your Money: Always count your Rs 13,500 payment right at the counter before you leave. Ask for a receipt.
  • Your Payment is Yours: Only the registered beneficiary (usually the woman) can collect the payment after biometric verification. Do not send someone else unless you have a very special reason approved by BISP.

Common Problems and Solutions

Sometimes, you might face small issues while checking your status or collecting money. Here are some common problems and what to do:

  • “CNIC Not Eligible” or “Survey Required” Message: This means your family’s data might be old or you don’t meet the current rules. You might need to update your NSER survey. Visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office with your original CNIC.
  • “Fingerprint Mismatch” During Collection: This happens if your fingerprints don’t match the ones in the NADRA system. Go to a NADRA office to update your fingerprints or visit a BISP office with updated biometric machines.
  • No SMS Reply from 8171: Make sure the mobile SIM you are using is registered in your own name. If not, get it registered or visit a BISP office to update your contact details.
  • Payment Delayed: Payments are released in phases. Wait a few days. If it’s still delayed, re-check your status via 8171 SMS or the portal. If still no luck, visit your BISP Tehsil Office.

The BISP 8171 updates for June 2025 and beyond are all about making the process smoother and more transparent for deserving families. By staying informed and using the official channels, you can ensure you receive your rightful financial support without any trouble.
