The most recent update about the BISP stipend increase to Rs 13500 has come from Rubina Khalid. Some reports have been saying the amount has increased to Rs 13500 but when women go to collect, they only receive Rs 10500. Rubina Khalid clarified that Rs 13500 has not received approval yet. It is expected that Rs 13500 may be given to beneficiaries starting January 2025, but no official announcement is in place. Further, Rs 13500 payments are likely to be issued through ATMs beginning in January 2025.
Register for the BISP Program
Women who are not yet registered should consider registering as soon as possible. If a woman’s application was denied before, she is encouraged to register again. Update the NSER survey to complete your registration. Any widows who want to apply should provide their husband’s death certificate to NADRA. For divorced women, take your divorce certificate to the nearest BISP office. Disabled individuals will need their disability certificate and disability ID card for registration. Go to the nearest BISP tehsil office to complete the process.
Receiving BISP Payments Through ATMs
Once you register, remember to be patient since payment processing might take time. You may not receive a payment this quarter, but you are likely to get one from January 2025. Beneficiaries receiving regular amounts of Rs 10500 in November can collect their funds at campsites or retailers partnered with six banks. ATMs are expected to release payments from 2025 onwards. Additional information is explained further in the article.
Present Status of the BISP Stipend
Rumors about the BISP stipend increase to Rs 13500 are circulating, but Rubina Khalid has stated that the government has not yet given official approval. While the new stipend is expected to help many, the government is likely to start the increase from January 2025. Until that date, beneficiaries will continue receiving Rs 10500.
How to Collect the BISP Stipend
Eligible women can receive the Rs 10500 stipend this November. Payments are available at BISP camps or retailer shops linked with six banks. Until the ATM option is introduced in 2025, these collection points will remain the main source for collecting payments. Beneficiaries will continue to collect payments this way until January 2025, when changes are expected.
BISP Registration Process for New and Ineligible Beneficiaries
To receive payments, all new applicants should register at the earliest possible time. Previously ineligible women may reapply. Following is the guidance for different groups registering:
- Widows: Submit the husband’s death certificate to NADRA for verification.
- Divorced Women: Bring the divorce certificate to your nearest BISP office.
- Disabled Individuals: Submit the disability certificate and ID card for registration.
After registering, you should expect verification time. For those already registered, BISP confirmed that verified beneficiaries will receive payments in upcoming cycles.
Upcoming Payment System Change in January 2025
Beginning January 2025, BISP will allow payments to be collected directly from ATMs. The ATM system will make it easier for beneficiaries to access funds securely and conveniently. Withdrawing through ATMs will reduce wait times at collection points and increase fund access for beneficiaries.
Get Ready for the Next Payment in 2025
Beneficiaries should be ready for the new payment schedule beginning in January 2025. Keep an eye out for updates about payment dates, amounts, and methods. BISP assured that if the stipend of Rs 13500 is approved, the payment will be given in full, pending all eligibility requirements.
Conclusion
The BISP program is adapting to better support Pakistan’s disadvantaged communities. For now, the stipend is Rs 10500, but the potential increase to Rs 13500 and the option for ATM collection are expected to simplify payment access. Women should complete registration as soon as possible and stay informed through reliable sources for the latest updates.
