BISP payments are set to restart in 2026, providing vital financial support to millions of low-income families across Pakistan. Both existing beneficiaries and newly registered families will be eligible, ensuring continued assistance to those in need. Old beneficiaries with valid CNIC and survey data do not need to reapply, while newly registered families will start receiving payments from 25th September 2026 once their records and biometric verifications are cleared. Households with incomplete surveys or unverified CNICs will have to wait until documentation is updated. Special priority is given to women with poverty scores under 34 percent, and extra support is provided during registration and biometric verification.
Beneficiaries can check their eligibility through the official BISP portal by entering their CNIC number. SMS notifications are also sent to registered mobile numbers, though not receiving a message may indicate incomplete verification rather than ineligibility. Common issues include incomplete surveys, biometric mismatches, incorrect mobile numbers, or exceeding the poverty score limit. These can be resolved by visiting a nearby BISP office with original CNIC and completing any pending verification steps.
BISP payments are distributed through authorized centers, banks, and BISP offices to ensure transparency. Required documents include an original CNIC and biometric thumbprint verification. Payments for old beneficiaries will be processed automatically after verification, while new beneficiaries must wait until their surveys and biometrics are approved. Families with poverty scores above 40 percent are not eligible but can request a re-survey if their financial situation changes.
The restart of BISP payments in 2026 aims to provide timely financial relief to eligible families. By verifying eligibility, completing any pending documentation, and ensuring accurate CNIC and biometric data, beneficiaries can receive payments smoothly and avoid delays. These payments will help support daily living expenses and improve economic stability for low-income households across Pakistan.
