In a major update for BISP 8171 beneficiaries, the Government of Pakistan has officially launched a BISP 8171 New Payment Method that will send Rs.13,500 directly into women’s personal bank accounts. This change is expected to begin in September 2025 (Phase 4) and will replace the old system of collecting payments through retailers or campsites. This move not only ensures transparency but also brings ease, dignity, and financial independence especially for poor women across Pakistan.
Why Was This New BISP Payment Needed?
Until now, BISP payments were mostly collected from campsites or agents. Many women complained about:
- Long queues
- Fingerprint issues
- Unfair deductions
- Harassment or mistreatment by agents
To solve these issues, BISP Chairperson Rubina Khalid confirmed that now bank accounts will be used for payments. Women will be able to withdraw their money from ATMs or bank branches whenever they want no more stress or waiting!
