When Will the BISP April 2025 Payments Begin?
The official distribution of the BISP payment for April 2025 will start from April 10, 2025, and continue throughout the month. Payments will be made in phases, meaning not all beneficiaries will receive their payments on the same day. Each eligible person will get an SMS from 8171 with specific details about the payment, including the date and location where the payment can be collected. It is important to ensure that your mobile number is registered and active to receive these updates.
How to Check Your Eligibility for BISP April 2025 Payment
Before you can collect the payment, you need to confirm your eligibility. The first step is to check your eligibility through various methods:
- SMS Method: Send your 13-digit CNIC number (without spaces) to 8171. You will receive a message with details about your eligibility, payment amount, and how to collect your payment.
- BISP Helpline: If you are unable to check via SMS, you can call the BISP helpline at 0800-26477 between 9 AM and 5 PM, Monday to Friday.

How to Collect Your BISP Rs. 13,500 Payment
Once you have confirmed your eligibility, it’s time to collect your payment. There are two methods available for withdrawing the funds:
- ATM Method: If you have a Benazir card, you can withdraw your Rs. 13,500 from any HBL or Bank Alfalah ATM. Simply insert the card, enter the PIN, and collect the payment.
- Campsite Method: If you do not have a Benazir card, you can visit a designated BISP payment campsite. At the campsite, you will need to go through biometric verification using your CNIC. Once verified, you will be given the cash, along with a receipt.
It’s important to note that no one is allowed to charge any fees for the payment. If you face any such issue, report it immediately to the BISP helpline at 0800-26477.
Important Guidelines and Information to Remember
- No Fees for Payment: BISP payments are free of charge. If anyone demands money for the payment process, report them immediately.
- Check Payment Status Regularly: As the payment distribution will occur in phases, it is advisable to check your status regularly through SMS or the helpline.
- Eligibility Criteria: To qualify for the Rs. 13,500 payment, your monthly household income should be below Rs. 25,000. Additionally, your poverty score should fall within the range of 32 to 33 in the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) database.
New Registrations and NSER Survey
At present, new registrations for the BISP program are temporarily paused due to system updates. However, once the system reopens (likely by April 13, 2025), you will be able to visit your nearest BISP or NADRA office to complete the NSER survey.
