For many deserving families in Taunsa, Punjab, Pakistan, and across the country, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) provides crucial financial relief. While BISP strives for timely disbursements, some beneficiaries might occasionally miss an installment. If you are one of them, there’s good news: BISP has commenced the payment cycle for June/July 2025, and this includes provisions for previously BISP 8171 Missed Installment June 2025. This guide will provide all the details on how to check, confirm, and receive your pending payments, including the current amount of Rs. 14,500, or even a double installment of up to Rs. 27,000 or Rs. 29,000 if you were due previous payments.
Understanding Missed BISP Installments in June/July 2025
The Benazir Income Support Programme aims to ensure that no eligible family is left behind. For the June/July 2025 payment cycle, BISP is actively addressing cases of previously missed installments. This means:
- Current Payment: The standard quarterly payment for eligible beneficiaries is now Rs. 14,500.
- Double Installment: If you missed a previous payment, you might receive a combined amount. For instance, if your previous due amount was Rs. 13,500 and the current is Rs. 13,500, you could receive Rs. 27,000. If both missed and current payments are based on the new Rs. 14,500 amount, you could even receive Rs. 29,000.
- Targeted Support: This initiative primarily benefits those who faced issues like biometric failures, CNIC blockages, or incomplete surveys in past cycles but have since completed their verification process.
The disbursement for this cycle officially began around June 23, 2025, and will continue in phases across different regions.
Who is Eligible for a Missed Installment Payment?
You are likely eligible for a missed installment payment if:
- You were previously eligible for BISP but did not receive one or more of your past quarterly payments.
- You faced biometric verification issues that prevented you from collecting previous funds, and these issues have now been resolved (e.g., through a NADRA update).
- Your CNIC was temporarily blocked or marked inactive, but has since been reactivated.
- You recently completed your Dynamic Survey (NSER registration) and were previously excluded due to outdated information. BISP has re-included approximately 400,000 previously missed beneficiaries in this July 2025 cycle.
If you have been receiving your BISP payments regularly without interruption, you will simply receive the single Rs. 14,500 installment for the current cycle.

If the SMS or web portal provides unclear results, or if you suspect an error, an in-person visit is the best approach.

- Step 2: Consult BISP Staff: Explain your situation. They can access detailed records to confirm if you are due a missed installment and guide you on rectifying any eligibility issues. This is especially important if you need to complete an NSER update.
Collecting Your BISP Missed Installment and Current Payment
The collection process for your BISP 8171 Missed Installment June 2025 is designed to be convenient and secure.
Primary Collection Points:
BISP has expanded its payment network to ensure easy access, especially given the current weather conditions:
- Authorized JazzCash and HBL Konnect Retailers: These local shops with biometric facilities are the most common and convenient points.
- Designated BISP Campsites: While less emphasized, some specific campsites may still be operational.
- Partner Bank Branches (HBL or Bank Alfalah): You can also collect payments from designated branches.
- Pakistan Post Offices: In a pilot project, some post offices are also disbursing BISP payments.
Documents and Requirements for Collection:
- Original CNIC: Absolutely essential and must be valid.
- Biometric Verification: Your thumb impression is mandatory for identity verification at the payment point.
- Confirmation SMS (Optional): Having the SMS from 8171 confirming your payment status can be helpful.
Critical Advice During Collection:
- No Deductions! The BISP payment, whether Rs. 14,500, Rs. 27,000, or Rs. 29,000, is 100% free. No agent, bank staff, or anyone else is allowed to deduct any amount. If someone attempts to do so, refuse and report them immediately to the BISP helpline.
- Demand a Receipt: Always insist on a printed receipt after you collect your payment. This is your proof of transaction.
- Personal Presence: The registered beneficiary (the woman) must be physically present to undergo biometric verification. You cannot send someone else.
- Guard Your Information: Be cautious of individuals asking for your CNIC details, PIN, or other personal information, claiming to help with your payment. Only trust official BISP channels.
Important Steps to Avoid Future Missed Installments
To ensure you continue receiving BISP support without interruption:
- Keep Your CNIC Updated: Regularly check your CNIC expiry date and renew it promptly at NADRA. An expired CNIC automatically halts payments.
- Complete Dynamic Survey (NSER): If you haven’t completed or updated your NSER survey recently, ensure you do so at your nearest BISP Tehsil Office. This is crucial for maintaining eligibility and ensures your family data is current.
- Verify Biometrics: If you experience frequent biometric issues, visit a NADRA office to update your fingerprints.
- Stay Informed: Regularly check the 8171 portal or SMS for updates on payment cycles and eligibility.
