The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has brought great news for thousands of women across Pakistan. In its latest July 2025 update, the government is re-including 400,000 women in the program who previously missed out on payments. If you or someone you know received a message for the Rs. 13,500 installment but never received the money—this might be your second chance.
Let’s break down the important updates and explain how you can check your eligibility today.
What is BISP and Who Benefits From It?
BISP is Pakistan’s biggest support program that provides financial aid to poor women. It helps low-income families manage their daily needs such as food, education, and health expenses. The goal is simple: fight poverty and give women the financial power to take care of their households.
This support is especially vital for widows, divorced women, and women in homes with no income source. The government identifies eligible women through NADRA and BISP surveys and gives them regular payments of Rs. 13,500 every three months.
What’s New in July 2025?
The most recent update is a huge one:
-
400,000 women will be re-added to BISP from July 2025.
-
These women had previously received a message confirming their eligibility for Rs. 13,500 but didn’t get the money due to various issues like technical errors or delayed verification.
-
Now, these women are being re-verified and will receive payments starting this July.
This step is part of a broader expansion plan. The government wants to include 1 million new women by January 2026, showing its commitment to reaching every deserving woman.
Who is Eligible for This Payment?
You may be eligible if you fall under any of these categories:
-
You got a message confirming Rs. 13,500 but the money was never sent or received.
-
You are already registered with BISP but haven’t received payments for a while.
-
You are a newly identified deserving woman through NADRA data or the BISP household survey.
-
You are a widow, divorced, or have no male earning member in the house.
If any of the above applies to you, it’s time to check your eligibility status and take action.
How Much Will You Receive?
Each eligible woman will get Rs. 13,500. This amount is typically given every three months. Additionally, some women might also get extra help through:
-
School stipends for children (to support their education)
-
Medical support for basic health needs
This cash assistance can be a big relief for those struggling to cover everyday expenses.
