If you’re one of the many families depending on the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), then you’ll be happy to know the April 2025 payment of Rs. 13,500 has started rolling out. But the distribution isn’t happening all at once. It’s being done in phases, district by district, to make sure everything runs smoothly and every eligible beneficiary gets what they deserve without delays or confusion.
Payment Distribution Has Started – But Not Everywhere
The payments started shortly after April 10, 2025, but not across the whole country. BISP has chosen a phased system for the release. First, the money is being sent to beneficiaries in 10 selected districts. Once all eligible people in these areas receive their amount, the next group of 10 districts will be activated for payment. This system helps reduce pressure on payment centers and ensures better management.
So if you haven’t received your money yet, don’t panic. Your turn is coming soon. Just be patient and keep checking for updates via SMS or through the BISP helpline.
How to Check Your BISP 13500 Payment Status
Right now, the 8171 web portal is temporarily down because BISP is working on updating its database. But you can still check your status using the 8171 SMS service. Here’s how:
-
Send your CNIC number (without dashes) to 8171 via SMS.
-
You’ll receive a reply confirming if your payment is ready or still in process.
If you don’t get a clear answer, or need more help, call the official BISP helpline. They can guide you and check your eligibility.

What to Do If You Haven’t Received Your Payment Yet
If your neighbors or family members in other cities have received their money, and you haven’t, don’t worry. Payments are being handled district by district. Yours will come soon.
In the meantime, here are a few tips:

Keep checking your messages for payment alerts.

Avoid visiting the BISP center unless you’ve received a confirmation to collect your money.

Stay Informed and Be Patient
It’s important to stay calm and follow updates from trusted sources. BISP is working to ensure everyone eligible gets their payment as quickly as possible. The phased approach may seem slow, but it helps prevent chaos and long queues at payment centers.
So keep your CNIC ready, check your status via SMS, and stay in touch with your local BISP office if you have questions. Your payment is on the way.
