BISP Double Payment of Rs. 27000 in August 2025 – Eligibility, Details & How to Collect

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has announced a special double payment of Rs. 27,000 for August 2025. This is not a bonus or a new scheme — it is the release of pending installments for beneficiaries who missed earlier payments or faced delays. For many families, this will be a much-needed help to manage urgent expenses.

Why the Double Payment is Being Given

In recent months, some beneficiaries did not get their regular BISP payments due to:

• Technical problems in the payment system.

• Delays in biometric verification.

• Incorrect or outdated CNIC details.

• Banking transfer errors.

• Payment holds during audits or verification checks.

Instead of sending these missed payments separately, BISP will release them together in August as one payment of Rs. 27,000 (two installments of Rs. 13,500 each).

Who Will Get the Rs. 27,000 Payment

Only certain beneficiaries will receive the double amount:

• Families who missed a payment earlier this year.

• People whose payments were held for verification but are now approved.

• Beneficiaries with updated and verified details in the system.

• Those cleared after payment dispute investigations.

If you have been receiving your payments on time, you will continue to get your normal amount in August.

How BISP Will Inform You

BISP will send an official SMS from 8171 with details of:

• The approved amount.

• The date the money will be available.

• Where to collect it (payment center, bank, or mobile wallet).

Important

• Ignore messages from numbers other than 8171.

• BISP never asks for bank details, ATM PINs, or money transfers.

• If unsure, check your status via the 8171 web portal or visit a BISP tehsil office.

How to Collect Your Rs. 27,000 Payment

1. Wait for the confirmation SMS from 8171.

2. Go to your assigned collection point (BISP center or partner bank).

3. Bring your original CNIC (and a photocopy if possible).

4. Complete biometric verification with your thumbprint.

5. Collect and count your cash, then keep the payment slip as proof.

Why This Matters for Families

For many low-income households, BISP payments are the main source of income. The double amount in August will help:

• Pay overdue bills and rent.

• Clear debts taken during the delay.

• Buy school supplies for children.

• Cover urgent medical expenses.

Tips to Avoid Future Delays

• Keep your CNIC valid and up to date.

• Update your mobile number with BISP if you change it.

• Respond quickly to verification requests.

• Visit the nearest tehsil office if there’s any issue.

If You Miss This Payment

If you are eligible but don’t collect it on time:

• Call the BISP helpline.

• Visit a BISP tehsil office with your CNIC.

• Check payment status via the 8171 portal.

Uncollected payments are only kept for a limited time before being returned to BISP’s main account.
