BISP 8171 Second Phase Payment: Full District List and Payment Update

What’s New in BISP 8171 Phase 2 Payments?

The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) 8171 continues to support millions of low-income families in Pakistan. The new update in 2025 brings important changes, especially in the payment schedule. While many beneficiaries already received their payments in the first phase, the government has now announced the second phase for districts that were left out.

If you’re still waiting for your payment or unsure about whether your area is included, don’t worry—we’ve broken it down for you in simple words.

Districts Now Included in BISP 8171 Second Phase

In the second phase, BISP has expanded the coverage to 98 districts. These include both urban and remote areas that were not part of the initial disbursement. Some key districts now added are:

  • Karachi Divisions (Central, South, East, West, Korangi, Kemari, Malir)

  • Islamabad

  • Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Gujranwala

  • Multiple districts in Balochistan like Gwadar, Lasbela, Khuzdar, and Sibi

  • Parts of Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir

This means more people can now receive their financial aid through the BISP Kafalat and Taleemi Wazaif programs.

Why Were Some Districts Left Out of Phase One?

Good question! BISP initially started with 104 districts, but the number was reduced to 86 for logistical and operational reasons. To ensure a smoother payment process, the remaining districts were moved to the second phase.

This approach helps BISP avoid overcrowding at payment centers and ensures that funds are delivered efficiently.

When Will the Second Phase Start?

There’s no official announcement just yet, but reliable sources suggest that the second phase payments will begin in the first week of May 2025.

If you’re part of the BISP program and haven’t received anything yet, there’s a good chance your area is covered in this upcoming phase.
