What is the BISP 13500 Payment
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is a financial assistance program aimed at helping low-income and deserving families in Pakistan.
In April 2025, the government increased the amount to Rs. 13,500 per family due to the rising inflation and high cost of living. This new installment is part of a phased rollout under the Ehsaas 8171 program, and it’s designed to support those who are struggling to meet their basic needs like food, health, and education.
April 2025 Payment Schedule (Phase 1 & 2)
The government is releasing the BISP 13500 payment in two phases:
- Phase 1 (Starting April 15, 2025): Covers 106 districts across Pakistan.
- Phase 2 (Late April or Early May 2025): Remaining districts will receive payments gradually.
Payments are distributed through official campsites, BISP centers, partner banks, and ATMs, and will continue until May 15, 2025.
