New BISP Installment: Who Gets Paid From August 14?
Mark your calendar—August 14 is the start date for the new BISP payment cycle. The new installment of 13,500 will start appearing in eligible users’ mobile wallets. Here’s who can expect payments:
- Newly eligible individuals: Those approved by BISP in the most recent survey, some who’ve waited for their first payments.
- Beneficiaries with previous payment errors: If your payments were held up due to account or technical errors, they are being released now.
- Those who missed earlier installments: If for any reason you couldn’t withdraw your old payments (from June or July), your due amount, including past installments, will be credited along with this new cycle.
Key Points:
- If you faced any error in past transactions or missed an installment, now’s the time to go and claim your money.
- Payments will be released in phases, starting with major cities.
- Those receiving the ₹5,000 children’s scholarship but missed their payment will also get updates in this cycle.
What Is a Mobile Wallet Account? How Do You Open One?
With the new payment system, BISP introduces the option to receive money directly in a mobile wallet account. This makes the process easier and safer, especially for women.
What’s changed?
- Freedom of choice: Previously, you could open accounts only in banks selected by BISP (like JazzCash, Easypaisa, HBL Konnect, or Bank Alfalah). Now, you’re free to open an account in any bank’s mobile wallet that supports biometric verification.
- Ownership: The account will be in your name, verified with your own CNIC.
Steps to Open a Mobile Wallet Account
- Gather Documents: Bring your original CNIC and a phone number registered in your name.
- Visit an Authorized Retailer: Go to a verified branch or retailer of JazzCash, Easypaisa, HBL Konnect, or your preferred bank.
- Biometric Verification: Your fingerprints will be scanned.
- Account Activation: The account gets activated on the spot.
- No Fees: Opening a BISP mobile wallet account is completely free. Do not pay even a single rupee to anyone during this process.
Online account opening is currently not available. You must visit an official retailer for activation.
Top Questions
- Will I be charged for opening this account?
No. There are zero charges. If anyone asks you for money to open a BISP mobile wallet, they are scamming you. - Can I choose any bank?
Yes. You can use any bank participating in the program, instead of being limited to a specific one.
Where Does the Pilot Project Start From August 14?
Payments and account openings begin in these cities from August 14:
- Karachi
- Lahore
- Quetta
- Gilgit
- Muzaffarabad
- Peshawar
Why start with these cities? The goal is to simplify payment delivery for women across Pakistan. Amounts go straight into the beneficiary’s personal bank or mobile wallet account, reducing the risk of fraud, delays, and deductions by intermediaries.
For now, only about 30–40% of initial beneficiaries will get their funds through mobile wallets in these cities. If this works smoothly, coverage may expand nationwide soon.
How To Check Your BISP 8171 Payment Status
You don’t need to leave your house just to check if your funds have arrived. BISP and Ehsaas offer two primary ways to confirm your payment:

Steps to Withdraw Your BISP Installment Safely
If you are eligible for payment, here is what you should do:
- Confirm your payment arrived using the portal or helpline.
- Visit an authorized retailer or shop with your CNIC and registered mobile phone.
- Use biometric verification at the shop to withdraw your amount.
- Do not pay any service charge. The process is free for all recipients.
- Collect and verify your cash before leaving the counter.

- If your area’s camp site is open, you can still collect your payment from there.
- If not, use the retailer/shop method as explained above.
Payment at Your Doorstep: Separating Fact from Myth
There is no system right now to deliver BISP payments to your house. All recipients need to collect payments in person, either via mobile wallet-enabled shops or at designated camp sites if available.
FAQs
Is biometric verification required?
Yes, this reduces fraud and ensures funds go to the rightful recipient.
What if the retailer asks for extra charges?
Refuse and report them to BISP or your local help center immediately.
Can I collect for previous months if I missed a cycle?
Yes. All pending installments (even from June or July) will be paid together as your new payment is disbursed.
Mobile Wallets vs. Other Payment Methods: What’s Different?
| Mobile Wallet | Shop/Camp Site | |
|---|---|---|
| Who gets it | About 30–40% of recipients | Remaining beneficiaries |
| How to withdraw | From any authorized retail partner using biometric verification | At shops or camp sites with CNIC and biometric verification |
| Fees | None | None |
| Convenience | Direct access, simple process | Potential waiting time, sometimes limited locations |
| Flexibility | Can choose any CSP or bank | Dependent on local site or shop |
Note: The mobile wallet system reduces queues and dependency on a single bank, helping women control their money directly. In the future, recipients may be able to pick the channel they find easiest—either wallet, shop, or camp.
Update on Children’s Educational Stipends (5,000)
Some families did not receive their children’s scholarships (education stipends) due to technical delays or account problems. This time, those who missed out will get their ₹5,000 payments along with the new installment. If you’re eligible, check your account or visit your authorized BISP shop to claim this addition.
Conclusion
The BISP and Ehsaas programs are rolling out big changes to make getting payments easier and safer, especially for women and families who count on these funds. With the move to mobile wallets and expanded city coverage, the days of long waits and missed installments are numbered. Keep your documents ready, use the official tools to check your payments, and never pay anyone for opening or managing your BISP account.
