BISP 8171 Payment Method
Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially announced a temporary change in its 8171 payment disbursement method.
To ensure the safety of beneficiaries — especially elderly women, children, and persons with disabilities — the traditional camp-based distributions have been suspended or rescheduled in heat-affected areas, and alternate payment methods have been introduced. 🧕💳🔥
This article provides a complete update on the new BISP payment arrangements, how to receive your money safely, and what steps you should take to avoid delays.
🔄 Why Has the BISP Payment Method Been Changed?
The Pakistan Meteorological Department has issued alerts for extreme temperatures in many cities, with some areas crossing 45°C. Due to this, long queues at outdoor BISP camps are no longer safe.
BISP, in coordination with NADRA and partner banks, has decided to:
-
Suspend or reduce camp operations in affected zones
-
Redirect payments through biometric retailers like HBL Konnect & JazzCash
-
Spread out disbursements to reduce crowding
⚠️ This is a temporary change for June–July 2025 payments and may continue until weather conditions improve.
