The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) continues to be a lifeline for millions of Pakistani women struggling with poverty. In a major development, the Government of Pakistan has announced a July 2025 update that brings relief and new hope to 400,000 deserving women who were previously left out of the program’s quarterly payment.
If you’re a woman who was once eligible for BISP but didn’t receive the Rs. 13,500 payment, this article will explain everything you need to know—and how you can check your status through the 8171 portal or SMS.
What Is BISP and Who Is It For?

It provides quarterly payments, Taleemi Wazaif for children, and access to various welfare services. The main goal is to reduce poverty, empower women, and promote education.
