The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has begun the final phase of payment to Benazir Kafalat and Taleemi Wazaif recipients. This phase includes 23 districts from Sindh, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Senator Rubina Khalid made the declaration to guarantee that all pending payments are processed efficiently.
BISP Final Phase of Payments
The final phase seeks to ensure that recipients who did not get payments in previous rounds receive their dues. Those who are eligible will receive texts from 8171 advising them to visit specified campsites to collect payment. To get their payouts, beneficiaries must first go through biometric verification at these facilities.

Simultaneous Payments of Kafalat and Taleemi Wazaif
Many of those receiving may not be aware that Kafalat and Taleemi Wazaif payments can be issued jointly. For example, a woman from Punjab received 14,500 PKR, which includes 10,500 PKR for Kafalat and 4,000 PKR for Taleemi Wazaif. Both payments can be deposited immediately to the beneficiary’s account. Beneficiaries can verify their payment status by visiting the BISP website and entering their CNIC number.
Payment Collection at Campsites
Previously, beneficiaries faced deductions and extended wait times while receiving money from retail stores. Payments are now disbursed at BISP campgrounds under close observation to ensure that no deductions occur. Beneficiaries are recommended to visit these campgrounds only after getting a message from 8171 indicating that their payments are ready.
Advice on Visiting Campsites
Naveed Akbar, a BISP officer, encourages beneficiaries not to attend campgrounds for the first 10-12 days after the payment announcement. This prevents overcrowding and ensures that funds are delivered smoothly. Beneficiaries should wait for the 8171 message verifying their payment before visiting the campsites.
Facilities at Campsites
To accommodate beneficiaries, particularly women, the government has given many amenities at the campsites. These feature cold drinking water, shelters, seats, and cooling fans to keep you comfortable while you wait. These procedures are intended to make the payment collection process as comfortable and efficient as feasible.
Checking CNIC Status Online
Beneficiaries can check their CNIC status online to know about their payment eligibility. Here’s how to do it:
- Go to the official BISP website: 8171.bisp.gov.pk
- Enter the 13-digit CNIC number in the provided box and complete the Captcha code.
- Click “Submit” or “Register” to see the payment status.
Conclusion
The final phase of BISP payments for Benazir Kafalat and Taleemi Wazaif is an important step toward ensuring that all eligible recipients receive their due payments. Beneficiaries who check their CNIC status online and wait for the 8171 notice can avoid excessive wait times and ensure a seamless payment collection process.
