The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) continues to provide critical financial assistance to low-income families across Pakistan. As of July 2025, a large number of beneficiaries are now eligible to receive three installments together due to backlogs, missed disbursements, or reactivation of accounts. If you’re a registered BISP recipient or hoping to join the program, this detailed guide will show you how to check your payment status from the comfort of your home and ensure you receive all three pending payments without visiting any office unnecessarily.
📢 What’s New in July 2025?
Many eligible families are now receiving three full payments through the BISP system, totaling up to Rs. 43,500 (Rs. 14,500 per installment). This is part of the government’s push to catch up on delayed disbursements from earlier months and resolve technical issues like biometric mismatches or incomplete registrations. This triple-payment rollout was confirmed by BISP officials as part of the Phase 3 disbursement, targeting areas where earlier phases faced interruptions due to heatwaves, fingerprint errors, or data entry problems.

đź’ˇ Who Can Receive Three Installments?
Some BISP recipients can get three payments at the same time. These groups are eligible:
- Women whose previous payments were withheld due to biometric verification failure.
- Individuals who completed the NSERÂ re-survey recently and were reactivated in the system.
- Families impacted by technical errors, such as invalid CNIC entries or blocked SIMs.
- Households were reapproved during the 2025 eligibility verification drive.
If you fall into one of these categories, your total amount for July 2025 could be Rs. 14,500, Rs. 29,000, or Rs. 43,500—depending on how many installments you missed and are now being compensated for.

- Phase 2 included semi-urban areas such as Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and Multan.

đźš« Common Issues and How to Solve Them
If you don’t get an SMS or your portal says “Verification Pending” or “Not Eligible,” do this:
1. Failure of Biometrics
Please go to the BISP Tehsil office that is closest to you to update your fingerprints or use face recognition to prove who you are.
2. NSER is out of date
If necessary, you may have to retake the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) poll. This helps the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) understand your family’s situation, including your assets and income.
3. Issues with SIM or CNIC
Make sure that your SIM card is working and linked to your CNIC. If your CNIC has run out, you can get a new one through NADRA.
4. Payment Blocked Due to Travel or Government Employment
BISP automatically blocks payments for individuals who:
- Hold a machine-readable passport
- Have traveled abroad
- Are you registered as a government employee or pensioner
You can appeal to a BISP office if you believe the block is an error.
đź”” Pro Tips to Avoid Payment Delays
- Always use the same SIM and CNIC combination to communicate with BISP.
- Do not give your CNIC number to people who are not allowed to have it.
- Check with NADRA and BISP to make sure that all of your information is correct. This includes your CNIC, cellphone number, and biometric data.
- Only go to official payment centers; avoid companies or agents you don’t trust.
