The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has started preparations for the third phase of payments in 2026, bringing financial relief to thousands of deserving families across Pakistan. The new installment under the BISP 8171 system will continue providing Rs.13,500 quarterly assistance to eligible women registered in the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER).
This phase aims to reach beneficiaries who were either waiting for verification or whose payments were scheduled in the later cycle of the nationwide distribution plan.
What Is the BISP Third Phase Payment 2026?
The third phase of BISP payments is part of the government’s scheduled installment distribution plan. After the completion of the first and second phases in several districts, the remaining eligible families are now being included in this stage.
Under this phase:
- Eligible families will receive Rs.13,500 cash assistance
- Payments are verified through the 8171 web portal
- Distribution continues through BISP campsites and partner banks
- Beneficiaries must complete biometric verification
This system ensures transparent and secure payment delivery.
Who Will Receive the Third Phase Installment
The third phase mainly targets beneficiaries whose payments were delayed due to verification or district-wise scheduling.
Eligible recipients include:
- Families registered in the NSER database
- Women already approved under the BISP Kafalat Program
