When Will BISP Payments Begin?

The government will begin distributing financial assistance to millions of low-income families under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) starting May 18, 2026.

The disbursement is timed to reach registered households before the Eid-ul-Azha festival, enabling families to meet essential costs including food, clothing, and ritual sacrifice.

Payments will be made to eligible and registered families across all regions of Pakistan, as confirmed by programme officials familiar with the rollout schedule.

Biometric verification will run alongside the payment process to maintain transparency and ensure that only qualifying households receive the allocated financial support this cycle.

Officials have urged all beneficiaries to keep their national identity documents and registration records updated and ready before visiting any designated payment collection centre.

BISP authorities are establishing dedicated arrangements at payment centres, banking partner outlets, and campsites specifically designed to assist elderly recipients and women in accessing funds.

Beneficiaries will receive advance notification of payment availability through mobile phone messages sent directly to registered numbers on file with the programme’s central database.
