BISP Rs 5000 Payment – How to Check Eligibility and Apply (2025)

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is one of Pakistan’s biggest welfare programs. It helps poor and vulnerable families, especially women, by giving them regular cash support. The main goal is to reduce poverty and help families manage their daily needs.

Recently, many people have heard about an Rs 5000 cash payment under BISP. This is not part of the normal quarterly payments. It’s a special one-time help for people in emergencies or those who are extremely vulnerable.

If you want to know who can get this Rs 5000 assistance, how to check eligibility, and how to receive it, here’s a simple guide.

Who Can Get the Rs 5000 BISP Payment?

The Rs 5000 payment is only for certain people in special cases, like:

• Elderly citizens without any regular income

• Disabled individuals needing extra care

• Women-led households in extreme poverty

• Families affected by floods, earthquakes, or other disasters

• People in urgent emergency situations

This payment is called LMA (Local Management Assistance) and is separate from the regular BISP payments.

How to Check If You’re Eligible

You can check your eligibility in three easy ways:

1. By SMS (8171 Service)

• Send your 13-digit CNIC number to 8171.

• Wait for a reply.

• If eligible, you’ll get a confirmation message.

• If not, the reply will guide you on what to do next.

2. Online (If Portal is Active)

• Go to the BISP 8171 web portal.

• Enter your CNIC number and the security code.

• Check your eligibility status.

3. Visit a BISP Office

• Go to your nearest BISP tehsil office with your original CNIC.

• Give your thumbprint for biometric verification.

• The staff will tell you if you qualify and help you with the next steps.

How to Receive the Rs 5000 Payment

Once you are confirmed as eligible, you can collect your cash from:

A. BISP Tehsil Office

• Bring your CNIC and verify your thumbprint.

• If your name is on the list, you will get the cash.

B. HBL Konnect or Authorized Agents

• Visit an authorized bank agent with your CNIC.

• After biometric verification, the agent will give you your payment.

• Always ask for a receipt as proof.

Important: Never pay anyone to get your BISP money. If someone asks for a bribe, report them to the BISP helpline immediately.

When Is the Rs 5000 Payment Given?

This payment does not have a fixed schedule. It is usually given:

• During natural disasters like floods or earthquakes

• To families in extreme hardship or emergency situations

• When the government announces special one-time support

So if you don’t receive this payment regularly, don’t worry—it’s not part of the normal quarterly BISP installments.

Regular BISP Payments

Apart from this special payment, BISP also gives regular support every three months:

• Earlier, families got Rs 3000 to Rs 7000 per quarter.

• Later, it increased to Rs 10500.

• Now, most families get Rs 13500 every quarter.

The Rs 5000 payment is extra help and does not replace these regular installments.
