BISP Program
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has announced a major update for its beneficiaries in October 2025. Under the new initiative, the quarterly installment of the Benazir Kafalat Program has been increased to Rs. 13,500 per family. Payments are being disbursed from October 2025 onwards, with collection points set up at official BISP campsites across Pakistan.
This step reflects the government’s commitment to provide relief to low-income families amid rising inflation and economic challenges. The increase will directly benefit millions of households already registered under the program.
What’s New in October 2025 Payments?
- Increased Amount: Each eligible family will now receive Rs. 13,500 per quarter, up from the previous installment of Rs. 10,500.
- Payment Start: Disbursements began in the first week of October 2025.
- Payment Method: Beneficiaries must collect payments from designated BISP campsites instead of crowded retail outlets.
- Transparency Measures: Campsites are equipped with biometric verification systems, complaint desks, and separate counters for women.
Why Campsites Instead of Retailers?
In the past, beneficiaries faced issues like long queues, unauthorized deductions, and agent overcharging at local shops. To solve this, BISP has shifted towards campsite distribution, which ensures:
- Transparency: Payments are made in front of monitoring teams.
- Comfort: Campsites provide waiting areas, shade, drinking water, and seating arrangements.
- Security: Police deployment reduces the risk of harassment or exploitation.
- Accessibility: Campsites are set up in schools, union council halls, and open grounds close to villages.
