Big Relief for BISP Beneficiaries in August 2025
In a helpful move for low-income families, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has started distributing a double payment of Rs. 27,000 for eligible women across Pakistan. This special payment in August 2025 is for those who missed the previous installment due to fingerprint or CNIC issues. Instead of receiving Rs. 13,500, these women will now get two payments combined, bringing the total to Rs. 27,000.
The aim is to help families who didn’t receive their April–June payment and are now facing financial difficulties. This update is especially important for those who rely on BISP for basic needs like food, school expenses, and bills.
Who Can Receive Rs. 27,000 in August?
Not all beneficiaries will get the double payment. Only the following people are eligible:
-
Registered under the BISP Kafaalat program
-
Missed the April–June 2025 payment
-
Recently cleared fingerprint/CNIC verification before July 31, 2025
-
Found eligible after re-verification
If your CNIC was recently updated or verified through the Dynamic Survey 2025, and you didn’t receive the last payment, you are likely to get the double amount.
