The Government of Pakistan is introducing a new way for women beneficiaries of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) to receive their financial aid. From August 14, 2025, eligible women in select cities will get their payments directly into special bank accounts created in their name. This step is designed to make the process faster, safer, and more transparent.
What Is Changing?
Under this updated system, BISP will deposit aid directly into each woman’s personal account—removing the need to visit camps, deal with agents, or face unnecessary deductions. This method ensures women have full control over their funds and can withdraw them anytime through ATMs or banking services.
Phase 1 Cities
The first rollout will cover the following major cities:
-
Karachi
-
Lahore
-
Quetta
-
Gilgit
-
Muzaffarabad
-
Peshawar
Other regions will be included once the pilot phase is complete.
Why This Is Important
This direct bank transfer system solves some of the biggest issues in the old payment process:
-
No more agent cuts – Full amount goes to the beneficiary.
-
Fewer delays – Payments arrive on time.
-
Better security – Funds are protected in personal accounts.
-
Increased transparency – Transactions can be tracked easily.
