The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially resumed the PKR 13,500 quarterly payment for thousands of beneficiaries whose profiles were previously blocked or unverified. This long-awaited move comes in response to growing public concerns over delays, verification glitches, and eligibility confusion that have affected low-income families relying on the support.
In 2025, the government has taken a more proactive and inclusive approach to ensure that deserving women are not left behind due to technical or procedural issues.
Why Were BISP Payments Blocked?
Over the past year, BISP intensified its data validation process to improve transparency. As part of this, many profiles were flagged as “unverified” or “ineligible” due to mismatches in:
- Biometric information (thumbprint mismatch)
- Expired or unverified CNICs
- NSER survey updates not completed
- Missing family records (especially for widows or single mothers)
While this effort aimed to ensure the system’s integrity, it also led to unintended hardship for many legitimate beneficiaries.

2025 Reactivation Policy — Who is Being Restored?
The new BISP 2025 policy focuses on reintegrating those who were unfairly excluded. Payments have now resumed for:
- Women who completed biometric re-verification
- Families that updated their CNIC or family data through NADRA
- Individuals marked “under verification” for more than 90 days
- Widows and women heads of household whose status was previously unclear
This reactivation includes the full PKR 13,500 installment, which covers a three-month cycle for qualified households.
