How to check your BISP account balance online in 2025

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is one of Pakistan’s biggest welfare programs, helping millions of low-income families every year. If you receive money through BISP, it’s important to know how to check your payment status and account balance.

Here’s a simple 2025 guide on how you can check your BISP balance online, through SMS, using the mobile app, or at an ATM.

What Is BISP Account Balance?

Your BISP account balance shows how much money you have received or are about to receive under the government’s program. Each beneficiary’s record is linked to their CNIC number, which stores payment details in the BISP system.

Checking your balance helps you know whether your payment is released, pending, or delayed—just like checking a regular bank account.

Why You Should Check Your Balance Regularly

Checking your BISP balance helps you:

• Know when new payments are released

• Confirm if your CNIC is still active

• Detect payment delays or blocked accounts

• Make sure you receive the correct amount

• Keep your biometric and registration details updated

Latest Updates for 2025

In 2025, the government continues to release quarterly BISP payments under the Benazir Kafaalat Program. Some new updates include:

• A faster 8171 Web Portal for online balance checks

• Instant payment confirmations via SMS

• A new BISP Mobile App for Android users

• ATM support through HBL and Bank Alfalah

These changes make the process easier and safer for beneficiaries.
