BISP Phase 2 October 2025 Payments Started in Eligible Districts – Rs. 13,500 Update

The Government of Pakistan has officially launched BISP Phase 2 October 2025 payments under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP 8171). Eligible families across selected districts have started receiving the Rs. 13,500 installment, providing critical financial relief to millions struggling with inflation and rising living costs.
This phase introduces improved transparency, digital wallet integration, and district-wise scheduling to ensure smooth disbursement and reduce overcrowding at collection points.
Understanding BISP 8171 Phase 2 Payments
The BISP disburses payments in phases instead of releasing all installments nationwide at once. This phased system:
-
Prevents overcrowding at collection centers
-
Reduces fraud and mismanagement
-
Allows proper monitoring of payment distribution
Phase 2 in October 2025 includes families who were recently approved after:
-
Poverty Means Test (PMT) clearance
-
CNIC verification via NADRA
-
Updates in the 8171 eligibility database
For many households, this is their first-ever BISP installment after months of waiting. Each eligible family under Phase 2 will receive Rs. 13,500 through either digital wallets (EasyPaisa & JazzCash) or physical collection centers.
