In a major step toward improving accessibility and convenience for beneficiaries, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially launched a new payment distribution system through Pakistan Post Offices starting July 2025. This long-awaited move is designed to enhance transparency, reduce fraud, and offer beneficiaries especially those in remote and rural areas easier access to their financial assistance.
Previously, BISP payments were distributed primarily through ATMs, designated retailers, or BISP campsites. However, these methods often created challenges for people living far from urban centers. With the involvement of Pakistan Post, the government aims to bring the system closer to the people literally by using the country’s vast network of post offices and mobile post vans.
This article explains how the new post office-based payment system works, who can benefit from it, and what steps you need to take to receive your July 2025 BISP installment without delay.
Why the Shift to Pakistan Post Offices?
The decision to shift to Pakistan Post for BISP payments is part of a broader strategy to:
- Expand payment reach into underserved regions
- Eliminate middlemen and unauthorized deductions
- Reduce wait times and long queues at BISP campsites
- Offer a dignified and secure payment method for women and the elderly
With more than 12,000 post offices and mobile units spread across Pakistan, the postal system provides the infrastructure necessary to deliver BISP funds to even the most remote villages.

Who Will Receive BISP Payments Through Post Offices?
The post office payment rollout will initially cover the following categories:
- Verified BISP beneficiaries in rural or underbanked areas
- Recipients who have completed dynamic NSER surveys
- Households that have linked CNICs with BISP via 8171
- Individuals previously facing ATM access issues or long-distance travel problems
BISP has already begun notifying eligible families via SMS from 8171, directing them to visit their nearest post office to collect payments after biometric verification.
