The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially started disbursing the Rs. 13,500 Kafalat installment for August 2025. To manage large crowds and reduce waiting times at campsites and banks, BISP has divided the disbursement process into two phases. Each city and district in Pakistan falls under a specific phase. Knowing your phase will help you collect your payment smoothly and avoid long queues.
Why Phased Payments Are Important
BISP’s city-wise phased rollout is designed to:
-
Reduce congestion at cash disbursement points
-
Help women and elderly receive payments with dignity
-
Minimize system overload and biometric verification issues
-
Prevent fraud and ensure each beneficiary receives the full Rs. 13,500
Phase-Wise Schedule – August 2025
Phase 1 (August 2–7, 2025):
Includes high-population urban centers and adjoining districts.
Phase 2 (August 8–14, 2025):
Covers remaining cities, semi-urban regions, and rural belts.
Remember, BISP may adjust these dates slightly due to public holidays or system maintenance. Always check your CNIC status via SMS to 8171 before visiting.
