If you’re one of the many families in Pakistan relying on the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), there’s good news: the Rs. 13,500 quarterly payment can be restored if you’ve been suspended. In July 2025, BISP launched a reverification campaign to help suspended beneficiaries regain access to their financial aid. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure you don’t miss out.
What’s New in BISP July 2025?
BISP, launched in 2008, continues to provide vital support to low-income families. The July 2025 update includes:
- Reverification for suspended accounts
- Faster payment processing
- Enhanced security measures
- Multiple verification methods (SMS, office visit, web portal)
If your payment was paused, now’s your chance to update your details and restart your benefits.
Why Payments Were Suspended
Suspensions usually happen due to:
- Outdated family or income details
- Expired CNIC
- Biometric mismatches with NADRA
- Missing NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) updates
- Fraud or duplicate account detection
Reverification helps clear these issues and ensures only eligible families receive aid.
