The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has taken a revolutionary step by launching the BISP 8171 New Bank Payment System starting from September 2025. This major upgrade will allow eligible women to receive their Rs. 13,500 payment directly into their personal bank accounts, offering greater convenience, security, and transparency.
Why This Change Matters
Previously, beneficiaries had to visit crowded camps or depend on agents and retailers, which often led to:
-
Long queues and delays
-
Biometric verification failures
-
Deductions or unfair cuts by unauthorized agents
Now, under the new digital bank transfer system, these problems will be a thing of the past. Your funds will be sent straight to your bank account, giving you the freedom to withdraw them anytime, anywhere using ATM, mobile apps, or bank branches.
