The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially announced that BISP camp sites closed across Pakistan in 2025. This is a permanent decision, not a temporary change. For many women, this change means no more standing in long queues or depending on agents for their own money.
From now on, all BISP payments will be given through authorized shops and bank agents, not through large camps. This update affects millions of deserving families.
The goal is simple:
👉 Less trouble, more safety, and faster payments
🔍 Why Are BISP Camp Sites Closed?
When camp sites were introduced, they were meant to manage crowds. But in reality, they created many problems.
By closing BISP camp sites, the government aims to fix these issues:
❌ Long lines under extreme heat
❌ Biometric failures in crowded camps
❌ Security risks due to cash handling
❌ Travel problems for women and elderly people
❌ Mismanagement in remote areas
This is why BISP camp sites closed permanently and payments are now shifted to nearby shops.
🏪 New BISP Payment Method After Camp Sites Closure
After BISP camp sites closed, payments will now be collected through:
Authorized retail shops
Registered bank agents
Local payment points approved by BISP
This system is already active in many cities and villages.
