BISP Major Update: Camps Closing June 16 – Now Get Payments at Designated Shops

In a significant move to streamline its disbursement process, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has announced the permanent closure of its camp system across Pakistan. “Starting from June 16, 2025, all payments will be distributed through authorized shops instead of camps,” the program stated in its latest update.

Key Changes in BISP Payment System

The new system introduces several important modifications:

• “Camps are now closed permanently”
• “From June 16, payments will be available at designated retailer shops”
• “Beneficiaries are advised not to visit any camps, as no installments will be delivered there”
• “Payments can be collected through BISP partner bank agents or registered outlets”

This transition applies to all regions of Pakistan, ensuring a more efficient and accessible payment method for millions of beneficiaries.

Where to Collect June 2025 Payments?

Eligible recipients can now receive their funds from:

• Retailer shops authorized by BISP (such as Easypaisa, HBL Konnect, and other approved vendors)
• Bank agents partnered with BISP
• Designated outlets in both urban and rural areas

Important Reminder: Beneficiaries must bring their original CNIC and ensure their mobile SIM is active for verification.

Advantages of the New Shop-Based System

BISP highlights several benefits of this shift:

• Reduced waiting times compared to long camp queues
• More convenient access with extended operating hours
• Wider network of payment points for easier reach
• Enhanced security with registered agents only

What Beneficiaries Should Avoid

The program has issued strict warnings:

• “Do not go to any BISP camp after June 15, 2025”
• “Avoid giving your CNIC or thumbprint to unregistered agents”
• “Don’t pay any extra fee to receive your full payment”
• “Don’t trust fake messages or links—confirm updates only from official sources”
