The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) continues to evolve in 2025 with the introduction of its Retail Payment Model a major transformation designed to improve the delivery of cash assistance to millions of deserving beneficiaries across Pakistan. This new system aims to eliminate corruption, reduce payment delays, and make financial support more accessible through a network of registered retail outlets and bank agents.
The newly introduced model is more aligned with modern financial practices, with a strong focus on ease, safety, and transparency, addressing the long-standing issues previously faced by women and low-income families receiving BISP payments.
What is the BISP Retail Payment Model?
The BISP Retail Payment Model 2025 is a government-backed system that enables cash disbursement through authorized retail outlets instead of relying solely on campsites or designated bank branches. These retailers are selected and monitored by partner banks and the BISP administration to ensure compliance with rules and proper treatment of beneficiaries.
Through this model, beneficiaries can withdraw their financial aid of Rs. 13,500 directly from nearby agents or retailers using biometric verification, just like ATM-based transactions.
