payments easily from JazzCash retailers with this step-by-step guide.

Big news for BISP beneficiaries! Getting your BISP payment has become easier and safer. The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has changed how you can withdraw your money in 2025. Now, instead of long queues at camps or banks, you can easily get your payments, like the Rs. 13,500 (or the new Rs. 14,500) installment, from authorized JazzCash retailers near you. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about this new and convenient method!

What’s New About BISP Payment Withdrawal in 2025?

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has made a big change to how its financial aid reaches you. Starting around June 2025, BISP has partnered with mobile banking services like JazzCash (and HBL Konnect) to use their widespread network of retailers for payment distribution. This means:

No More Crowded Camps: The old system of payment camps, which often led to long queues and difficulties, is largely being replaced.
Convenience at Your Doorstep: You can now collect your BISP money from many authorized JazzCash agent shops in your local area. This is especially helpful for women in villages and remote areas of Pakistan, including those in Taunsa, Punjab, Pakistan.
Faster and Safer: The new process aims to provide quick, secure, and transparent transactions using biometric (fingerprint) verification and digital receipts.

This shift helps BISP ensure that beneficiaries receive their payments easily, without unnecessary travel or risks, especially during hot weather conditions.

Why Did BISP Change to JazzCash Retailers? (Benefits for You!)

BISP made this important change to make your life easier and ensure you get your money smoothly. Here are the main benefits:

Save Money and Time: You won’t have to spend money on transport to reach far-off banks or wait for hours in crowded payment camps. You can find a JazzCash retailer nearby.
Avoid Heat and Crowds: During hot weather, standing in long queues at payment camps was very difficult. The new system helps you avoid large gatherings and health risks.
Safer Payments: With biometric verification at authorized JazzCash agents, your payment is more secure. It also helps prevent unfair deductions often reported at traditional payment points.
Clear Records: You will receive a digital or printed receipt for your transaction, making the process more transparent.
Dignified Experience: The new method aims to provide a more respectful and comfortable way for women to collect their much-needed support.

Who Can Use the JazzCash Withdrawal Process?

This new withdrawal method through JazzCash retailers is for:

All eligible beneficiaries of the BISP Kafalat program (women who receive regular quarterly payments).
Mothers who receive Benazir Taleemi Wazaif (education stipends) for their children.
New beneficiaries who have recently been approved for BISP assistance.
Beneficiaries who may have missed previous payments due to various reasons and whose funds are now ready for disbursement.

You just need to be a verified BISP recipient with a valid CNIC.

What Documents Do You Need to Bring?

Before visiting a JazzCash retailer, make sure you have these important items:

Your Original CNIC: Your valid Computerized National Identity Card. This is the most important document.
Your Fingerprint: You will need to provide your thumb impression for biometric verification at the JazzCash agent’s shop.
Registered Mobile Number (if any): If you have a mobile number registered with BISP, it’s good to have it with you, as you might receive an SMS confirmation.
SMS from 8171 (if received): If BISP sent you a message confirming your payment is ready, having this SMS might be helpful, though your CNIC is usually enough to check.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Withdraw Your BISP Payment Through JazzCash Retailers

Collecting your BISP payment through a JazzCash retailer is simple. Just follow these steps:

Step 1: Check Your Payment Status First

Via SMS: The easiest way is to send your 13-digit CNIC number (without any dashes or spaces) to 8171. You will get an SMS back telling you if your payment is ready.
Via Web Portal: You can also visit the official BISP 8171 web portal at 8171.bisp.gov.pk and enter your CNIC to check your status.
Make sure your payment is ready before you visit the retailer to avoid a wasted trip.

Step 2: Find an Authorized JazzCash Retailer

Look for a JazzCash agent shop or franchise in your area that displays a sign for BISP payments.
You can use the JazzCash App’s “Agent Locator” feature to find nearby authorized agents.
Alternatively, you can send an SMS with the letter “B” to 2179 to receive a list of nearby JazzCash agents.

Step 3: Visit the Retailer with Your Original CNIC

Go to the authorized JazzCash retailer during their working hours.
The beneficiary (the woman receiving the payment) must be present in person. You cannot send someone else to collect your payment using this method, as biometric verification is required.

Step 4: Provide Your CNIC and Complete Biometric Verification

Tell the JazzCash agent you are there to collect your BISP payment.
The agent will ask for your original CNIC. They will enter your CNIC number into their system.
You will then be asked to place your thumb or finger on a fingerprint scanner for biometric verification. This step confirms that you are the rightful beneficiary.

Step 5: Receive Your Full Payment and a Receipt

Once your fingerprint is successfully verified, the agent will confirm your payment amount (e.g., Rs. 13,500 or the new Rs. 14,500 for the latest quarter).
The agent will then give you the cash. Make sure to count the full amount before leaving the shop.
Always demand a digital or printed receipt from the JazzCash agent. This receipt is important proof of your transaction.
Remember: BISP payments are completely FREE. Do not pay any extra ‘commission’ or fees to the agent. If anyone asks for money, immediately report them.

What If You Face Problems During Withdrawal?

Sometimes, you might face small issues. Here’s what to do:

Fingerprint Not Matching (Biometric Failure):
1. Clean Your Hands: Ensure your hands are clean and dry when you put your finger on the scanner.
2. Visit NADRA: If your fingerprints are worn out, visit your nearest NADRA office to get them updated in their system.
3. Visit BISP Tehsil Office: If, even after visiting NADRA, you still face biometric issues, go to your BISP Tehsil Office. They can help with manual verification or guide you through the “NON-BVS” (Non-Biometric Verification System) application process, allowing you to get your payment without a fingerprint scan.
Agent Demanding Commission/Giving Less Money:
- Immediately report this to the BISP helpline at 0800-26477.
- You can also report it to your nearest BISP Tehsil Office. BISP strongly condemns any deductions and ensures beneficiaries receive their full amount.
“Ineligible” or “Payment Not Ready” Message:
- Double-check your status by sending your CNIC to 8171 again.
- If the message persists, visit your BISP Tehsil Office to inquire about your eligibility status or if any NSER (Dynamic Survey) updates are required for your profile.

Important Reminders for a Smooth Withdrawal

Official Channels Only: Only trust information and updates from the official BISP 8171 SMS service, the 8171.bisp.gov.pk web portal, or the BISP helpline.
Stay Alert to Scams: Do not respond to fake calls or messages asking for your CNIC PIN, bank details, or promising extra money. BISP will never ask for such information over the phone.
Keep Your CNIC Valid: Always make sure your National Identity Card is valid and not expired. Renew it at NADRA if needed.
