In August 2025, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is issuing a double payment of Rs. 27,000 to certain eligible families.
Instead of the usual Rs. 13,500 quarterly installment, beneficiaries who missed their May payment due to technical or verification issues will now receive two installments together.
This isn’t a bonus — it’s a catch-up payment to clear pending cases from earlier this year.
Why the Double Payment Is Happening
Thousands of families who were eligible in May 2025 never received their payment due to:
-
Biometric verification failures
-
CNIC expiry or blocking
-
NSER survey delays
-
Technical errors in the BISP system
BISP collected complaints, reviewed pending cases, and approved the release of May’s unpaid Rs. 13,500 plus August’s Rs. 13,500 together — making it Rs. 27,000.
Who Will Receive the Rs. 27,000 Double Installment?
✅ You will get Rs. 27,000 if:
-
You were eligible in both May and August 2025 payment cycles.
-
You missed the May payment due to biometric, CNIC, or verification issues.

You updated your NSER survey before June 30, 2025.
-
Your CNIC is valid, active, and in the BISP database.
-
Your PMT score is within the eligibility limit (usually under 32 or 37).
❌ You will NOT get Rs. 27,000 if:
-

You were not eligible in the May 2025 cycle.
-
Your CNIC is still blocked, expired, or under review.

How to Check if You’re Eligible for Rs. 27,000
You can confirm your status through three official methods:
1. SMS to 8171
-
Open your SMS app.
-
Type your 13-digit CNIC number (without dashes).
-
Send it to 8171.
-
Wait for a reply showing your eligibility, amount, and payment location.
Tip: Use a SIM registered in your own name for accurate results.
2. 8171 Web Portal
-
Visit 8171.bisp.gov.pk.
-
Enter your CNIC number and captcha code.
-
Click Submit.
-
Look for messages like “Eligible – Rs. 27,000 Payment” or “Double Installment Ready”.
If you see Under Verification or No Record Found, your case may still be under review.
3. BISP Office or Campsite
If SMS or portal results are unclear:
-
Visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office, official campsite, or HBL Konnect retailer.

Bring your original CNIC and any old BISP payment slips.
