Your February payment is being released, but not everywhere at once. The BISP Province-Wise Payment system has shifted to a district-wise phased rollout, and your ability to collect Rs. 14,500 right now depends entirely on your location. Is your district in the active Phase 1 list? And with the new partnership of six major banks, where exactly should you go to withdraw your money without delay? This is the live update you need to avoid unnecessary trips and confusion.
The Benazir Income Support Programme has overhauled its disbursement mechanism in 2026 to streamline payments and reduce crowding. Understanding the phased schedule and new bank options is crucial for a smooth collection experience.

The New BISP Province-Wise Payment Disbursement System: 6 Bank Partners
The biggest change for 2026 is the expansion of payment partners. You are no longer limited to one or two banks. You can now collect your Rs. 14,500 from any of the following six partner institutions:
- Habib Bank Limited (HBL)
- United Bank Limited (UBL)
- National Bank of Pakistan (NBP)
- Bank of Punjab (BOP)
- Bank Alfalah
- Mobilink Microfinance Bank (JazzCash)
How to find your assigned point? Your specific bank branch or camp location will be shown on the official 8171 portal after you check your status with your CNIC.
Digital Wallet Transfers in 2026
For a faster and safer experience, BISP is actively migrating beneficiaries to direct digital transfers.
- Direct to Mobile Wallet: If your registered mobile number has an active JazzCash or Easypaisa account, your payment may be sent directly there. The 8171 portal status will indicate “Digital Payment” or “Mobile Account Transfer.”
- ATM Withdrawal: You can use your CNIC and biometric verification at ATMs of the six partner banks to withdraw cash without any agent fees.
