In 2025, the Pakistan Post Office has taken a major step forward to support low-income women by starting direct cash disbursements under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). This new system allows registered women to receive their BISP payments easily and securely through local post office meetings—without the need for travel to distant bank branches or ATM lines.
This initiative brings relief and respect to countless women who have faced challenges in accessing their financial support in the past.
Why Local Post Office Payments Are Important
Many women in Pakistan, especially those in rural areas, don’t have access to digital banking, smartphones, or even nearby ATMs. For them, collecting government aid often meant long travel, confusion, or depending on others. With this new method, the process becomes simple, safe, and closer to home.
Local post office meetings are organized specifically to:
-
Deliver payments without long-distance travel
-
Provide face-to-face guidance
-
Avoid fraud or agent deductions
-
Ensure dignity and transparency in the process
These meetings are managed by trained Pakistan Post staff, ensuring that every eligible woman receives her payment properly.
Who Can Receive the BISP Payment?
The fund distribution meetings are only for women who are officially registered in the BISP system. This includes:
-
Widows and single mothers
-
Women-led households
-
Families living below the poverty line
-
Individuals without bank access or mobile wallet services
To check your status, you can visit your nearest BISP office or call the helpline. You may also receive a text message alert if you are selected for a scheduled post office payment.
What Happens at the Payment Meeting?
The process is simple and well-organized:
-
Announcement of the Meeting
Your local post office will inform you of the date, time, and place—through SMS, mosque announcements, or posters in the community. -
Bring Required Documents
On the day, bring your original CNIC and any BISP confirmation (SMS or registration slip). -
Identity Verification
Post office staff will check your name on the official BISP list to confirm eligibility. -
Receive Your Payment
Once verified, you’ll receive the full payment in cash—usually Rs. 13,500 or more, depending on your eligibility. -
On-Site Help
If you have any questions, trained staff will be present to help with updates, complaints, or next steps.
Advantages of This System
This approach is more than just convenient. It brings real change for underserved women:
-
Fast, direct access to payments
-
Zero deductions or middlemen involved
-
Clear instructions and personal help available
-
Less dependency on others for transport or technology
-
Greater financial control for women
It’s especially useful for those who’ve previously faced issues with biometric mismatches, blocked CNICs, or digital access barriers.
FAQs – What You Need to Know
Do I need to pay anything to collect the payment?
No. It’s 100% free. If someone asks for a fee, report it to the BISP helpline immediately.
Can someone else collect on my behalf?
Normally, only the registered woman is allowed to collect to prevent misuse. In special cases, guardianship documents may be required.
What if my CNIC is expired?
Visit your nearest NADRA office to renew it before attending the meeting.
How will I know if I’ve been selected?
You will receive a message from BISP or Pakistan Post, or see announcements in your community.
Final Words
The Pakistan Post Office has made an important move with this initiative. It’s not just about handing over cash—it’s about making sure women receive what they’re promised, with respect and ease. If you are a registered BISP beneficiary, stay alert to announcements, carry your ID, and attend the next scheduled meeting at your local post office.
This is your right—and now, it’s easier to claim than ever before.
