The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has started releasing the April 2025 payment of Rs. 13,500 for selected beneficiaries. This payment cycle is specifically meant for newly added or previously unpaid individuals. If you’re wondering whether you are eligible, you can now check your status using the official BISP 8171 portal.
Here’s everything you need to know about who can receive the payment, how to check your status, and what changes have been made to the BISP system this month.
Who Can Receive the April 2025 BISP Rs. 13,500 Payment?
Not everyone will receive a payment this month. This installment is only for a selected group of people. According to the latest BISP update, the following categories are eligible:
-
Women registered recently through the dynamic survey
-
Families whose data was updated or verified in the past 60 days
-
Beneficiaries who missed payments in the January–March cycle
-
Citizens newly added to the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER)
-
Applicants who were previously blocked but have now resolved their issues
If you fall under any of these categories, you are likely to receive the payment in April 2025.
Who Will Not Receive the April Payment?
If you already got your Rs. 13,500 payment earlier this year, you won’t receive another one this month. The payment is not repeated for those already served in January, February, or March 2025.
Others who will not be paid in April include:
-
Individuals with incomplete NADRA records
-
Families still under data review or verification
-
Those marked as ineligible due to data mismatch
-
People who haven’t completed the dynamic survey yet
How to Check BISP 13500 Payment Status Online
To see if your payment is ready, use the official BISP 8171 portal. Follow these simple steps:
-
Visit 8171.bisp.gov.pk
-
Enter your 13-digit CNIC number
-
Complete the captcha verification
-
Click on “Maloom Karen”
-
Your payment status will be displayed instantly
If your data is not found, it might mean your registration is incomplete. Visit your nearest BISP center with your original CNIC to update your records.
New System Upgrades in April 2025
BISP has quietly introduced several upgrades to improve accuracy and speed. These updates are not widely covered in media but are now active:
-
Data-locking system to prevent duplicate registrations
-
Stronger link with NADRA for real-time eligibility verification
-
New payment tracking feature showing payment status (Approved, Pending, Transferred)
-
Complaint system connected to CNIC for faster resolutions
-
CNIC-based filtering for direct ATM payments via Bank of Punjab (BOP)
These changes aim to make the entire process smoother and more transparent.
Importance of the Dynamic Survey
To stay eligible, every household must now complete the BISP dynamic survey. This survey collects updated information about your:
-
Number of family members
-
Monthly income
-
Address and mobile number
-
CNIC and biometric verification
Without this update, you may be marked “under verification” and won’t receive any future payments. Make sure your survey is complete and up-to-date.
SMS Alerts for Beneficiaries
BISP has also launched an SMS notification system. If your payment is approved, you’ll receive a message like:
-
“Your April payment has been transferred. Visit your nearest BOP ATM.”
-
“Survey required. Visit BISP center before May 5.”
If you haven’t received any message, you should update your mobile number at the nearest BISP office.
BOP ATM Payments in New Cities
Good news for many families—Bank of Punjab (BOP) ATMs are now handling BISP payments in over 25 new cities including:
-
Lahore
-
Multan
-
Faisalabad
-
Gujranwala
-
Bahawalpur
If you received an SMS about your payment and have a valid CNIC, you can withdraw your amount directly from any BOP ATM in these areas.
Final Words
The April 2025 BISP installment is a targeted release, meant only for newly eligible or unpaid individuals. If you think you’re part of this group, check your status on the 8171 portal today. Stay updated, keep your data complete, and ensure your CNIC and mobile number are registered correctly. Only then will you continue receiving your payments without delay.
