The Government of Pakistan has officially started the disbursement of the BISP 13500 payment for July 2025. If you’re registered under the Benazir Kafalat Program and completed your dynamic survey, you can now receive your payment through the nearest authorized retail shop—no more long queues at campsites.
This time, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has adopted a more streamlined and user-friendly approach. Payments are being distributed through biometric verification at retail outlets. If you’re wondering whether your payment has been issued, this article will guide you on how to check your status using the 8171 portal and SMS service.
What is the BISP 13500 Payment?
The BISP 13500 payment is a special financial support package for eligible low-income families under the Benazir Kafalat Program. This amount was increased for July 2025 to help families meet the rising cost of living, including utility bills, groceries, and medical expenses.
Only those who meet the following conditions are eligible:
-
Completed the BISP Dynamic Survey in 2025
-
Successfully verified through NADRA’s biometric system
-
Received confirmation through the 8171 SMS system
This installment aims to reduce economic stress, especially during the harsh summer season when expenses tend to rise.
How to Check BISP 13500 Payment Status Online via 8171
You can easily check whether your payment has been issued by visiting the official BISP 8171 portal. Here’s a step-by-step method to check your status:
-
Go to the 8171.bisp.gov.pk portal.
-
Enter your 13-digit CNIC number (without dashes).
-
Complete the captcha or verification code displayed on the screen.
-
Click on the “Maloom Karain” button.

Your payment status and eligibility will be displayed.
If you’re eligible, you’ll also receive a confirmation SMS from 8171 within a few days. This SMS acts as an official notification and can be used to collect your funds.
Why You Might Not Receive the 13500 BISP Payment
There are a few common issues that may prevent some eligible individuals from receiving their payment:
-
CNIC is expired or not updated with NADRA.
-
Biometric verification failed at the payment collection point.
-
Incomplete information during the BISP dynamic survey.
-
Payment is still processing, especially in remote districts.
-
Mobile number not registered with your BISP profile.
In such cases, it’s best to visit your nearest BISP office or Tehsil-level Dynamic Registration Center (DRC) to update your information or resolve the issue.
Biometric Verification at Retail Shops: How It Works
This year, BISP introduced a new retail shop model for payments instead of the usual camp-based setup. This move has significantly improved the payment process.
Here’s how it works:
-
Visit your nearest authorized retailer listed under the BISP disbursement system.
-
Provide your CNIC and complete biometric verification using your thumbprint.
-
Once verified, you’ll receive the full amount of Rs. 13,500 with an official printed receipt.
-
No deduction is allowed by the retailer—report if anyone tries to cut the payment.
If your fingerprints fail, ask the retailer to retry. Persistent issues may require a visit to NADRA for biometric data updates.
Reconfirm Your Registration in the BISP Dynamic Survey 2025
If you haven’t received your payment and were previously eligible, you might need to reconfirm your registration through the Dynamic Survey 2025.
Follow these steps:
-
Visit the nearest BISP Dynamic Registration Center (DRC).
-
Carry your original CNIC and children’s B-forms (if applicable).
-
Provide updated details about your income, household, and family members.
-
Make sure to register your active mobile number to receive SMS alerts from 8171.
This reconfirmation is crucial, especially if your family circumstances have changed or your profile was marked incomplete.
