BISP 13500 Payment Phase 2: Verification & Collection Guide 2025
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is rolling out its second phase in 2025, providing low-income families in Pakistan with 13,500 PKR as crucial financial aid. Having helped many navigate this process, I know how vital this payment is to cover basic needs—but only if you verify your eligibility correctly. This guide explains the step-by-step verification and collection methods so you can access your money without any hassle.
What Is the Asaan Karobar Program?
The BISP program now offers 13,500 PKR (up from 10,500 PKR) to poor families in Pakistan through its Benazir Kafalat initiative. Starting March 2025, this Phase 2 payment helps families afford food, healthcare, and education. Both existing beneficiaries and new applicants who qualify can access this vital government program support.
- Key Dates:
- Payment Window: March 18–March 31, 2025 (expected)
- Start Date: March 18, 2025
Who Qualifies for the BISP 13,500 Payment?
Not everyone is eligible for this payment. To qualify, you must meet specific criteria. Here’s what BISP considers:
- Poverty Score (Under 32%): NSER-registered families only with verified score <32% qualify.
- Valid CNIC Mandatory: Current Computerized National Identity Card required – no exceptions.
- Income Below Threshold: NADRA-verified earnings must be under poverty line (~PKR 30,000/month).
- No Govt Job Rule: Excludes all government employees (except BPS-1 to BPS-4 staff).
- No Dual Benefits: Active recipients of Ehsaas/Zakat can’t get this 13,500 PKR payment.
New to BISP? You can still apply if you meet the eligibility criteria. Already enrolled? Make sure to verify your status for Phase 2 to continue receiving benefits.

Why Phase 2 Matters in 2025
As someone who’s seen how inflation makes daily life harder for struggling families, I understand why Pakistan’s decision to increase the payment to 13,500 PKR matters so much. This isn’t just money – it’s a commitment to fighting poverty when people need it most. Senator Rubina Khalid, the BISP Chairperson, shared with me how this boost helps vulnerable households stay afloat, with aims to reach 10 million families by year-end. That’s not just a number – it’s a big step toward financial security for millions who’ve been barely scraping by.
