The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is bringing much-needed relief to struggling families across Pakistan with a fresh installment of Rs. 13,500 in May 2025. If you or someone in your household depends on this support, this guide is here to walk you through everything — eligibility, payment dates, how to check your status, and what to do if you face any issues. Let’s break it down in simple terms.
What’s the BISP 13,500 Payment All About?
The BISP 13,500 payment isn’t a one-time bonus or special scheme — it’s a part of the regular cash transfer program by the Government of Pakistan for low-income households. This payment is meant to help families meet basic needs like food, school expenses, and health care.
This May 2025 installment continues the government’s commitment to supporting the most vulnerable people in the country. It’s especially vital at a time when inflation and economic challenges are hitting families the hardest.
So if you’re already registered and have been receiving payments before, chances are you’re eligible again — unless something has changed in your records.
Are You Eligible for the May 2025 BISP Payment?
Here’s how to know if you qualify for the Rs. 13,500 installment:
-
You’re already registered in the BISP or Ehsaas program.
-
You’ve completed the latest NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) dynamic survey.
-
Your PMT (Proxy Means Test) score is below 32.
-
No one in your household has a government job or receives a government pension.
-
You don’t own large land, expensive property, or luxury vehicles.
-
Your household utility bills show you fall in a low-income category.
⚠️ Heads-up: If two wives from the same household were receiving payments, the policy may now limit payment to just one — usually the one with more dependents.
If you’re unsure about any of these points, it’s worth checking your status through the official channels (we’ll explain how in a moment).

Why Are Some People Being Removed From BISP?
Some families may no longer qualify for the May 2025 payment due to the following reasons:
-
They didn’t complete or update the dynamic NSER survey.
-
Their income or assets increased, pushing their PMT score above the cutoff.
-
Someone in the household now has a government job or pension.
-
Duplicate registrations were found (especially cases where both wives were registered).
If you think you’ve been wrongly removed, visit your nearest BISP office and appeal with all your documents.
