Now The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP 8171) after a short delaym Govt. has announced that the new BISP payments will start again on 20 October 2025. This news brings great relief to thousands of households waiting for their next installment.
Why Were Payments Stopped Earlier?
Many people did not receive their last payment on time. This happened because BISP was checking its data to remove fake or duplicate records. Officials also worked with NADRA to confirm each family’s information and ensure that only real and needy families get help.
To make the system more secure, the biometric verification process was also updated. These steps took extra time, but now the system is safe and ready for the next round of payments.
Who Will Get the October 2025 BISP 8171 Payment?
Not everyone who registered will automatically get the new payment. Only families who pass all checks and meet the latest rules will receive money this time.
The following people are eligible:
- Women registered in the BISP Kafalat Program with a valid CNIC
- Families listed in the NSER database with an approved poverty score
- Those who have completed biometric verification successfully
- Parents whose children are part of the Taleemi Wazaif education program
- Families who cleared the NADRA re-verification process
If you are among these groups, your payment will be available from 20 October 2025.
