Today News: BISP Announces Camp Sites and Partner Banks List for December 2025 Payments
The Benazir Income Support Program has released a regular schedule for 8171 payments for December 2025, according to which eligible households across the country will be able to receive their installments in phases. Payments in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan will start on different dates to reduce rush and make the process more transparent and easy. The government has clarified that all installments will be provided through designated campsites and partner banks before the end of December.
Eligible families will be able to receive their installments from Benazir Campsites, Habib Bank, Bank Alfalah or Easypaisa agents after biometric verification. Only those individuals who have completed NSER verification, who meet the BISP eligibility score and who are registered as women as primary beneficiaries are included in this phase. If you received an installment in September or November 2025, there is a high possibility that you will also be included in this payment.
To check the latest payment status, users can check the status by entering their CNIC 8171 on the web portal or can also get information by sending an SMS to CNIC number 8171. The government has also provided additional facilities this time, including better security, separate counters for women and senior citizens, and a digital receipt system. Along with this, a zero-tolerance policy against illegal deductions has been introduced.
