BISP 8171 September Payments 2025 – Eligibility, Schedule, & Collection

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has become a lifeline for millions of families in Pakistan. Every month, many households depend on these payments to buy food, pay school fees, cover medical bills, and manage daily needs.

As September 2025 begins, families are asking key questions: Who will get payments this month? When will the money arrive? Where to collect it? And what to do if there are problems? Here’s a simple guide with all the answers.

The September installment is part of the third quarterly cycle (July–September 2025). Eligible families will get Rs. 13,500 under the Benazir Kafaalat program. Payments are being released in phases, starting in the last week of August and continuing until mid-September.

You can get the payment if:

• Your Poverty Means Test (PMT) score is 32 or below.

• You are a woman head of household with a valid CNIC.

• Your details are updated in the NSER survey.
