How to Withdraw Your Full Payment Safely
To eliminate illegal deductions by agents, BISP has strictly enforced biometric-only withdrawals in 2026. You can collect your Rs. 13,500 through:
-
Biometric ATMs: Visit any HBL (in Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan) or Bank Alfalah (in KP, GB, AJK) ATM. Select the “BISP” option and verify your thumbprint.
-
BISP Campsites: Designated centers in schools or government buildings provide cash after biometric verification.
-
Retailers: Authorized HBL Connect or Bank Alfalah agents can also provide cash, but always ensure they do not deduct any “commission.”
Why Your Payment Might Be Delayed
If you are eligible but haven’t received the SMS yet, it could be due to:
-
Phase-wise Distribution: BISP releases funds district by district. Your city might be in the second phase, expected by late February.
-
Expired CNIC: If your ID card has expired, your payment will be automatically blocked by the system until you renew it at NADRA.
-
Dynamic Survey Requirement: BISP requires a re-survey every three years. If you haven’t updated your data since 2022, visit the nearest BISP Tehsil Office for an NSER Dynamic Survey.
Safety Warning for Beneficiaries
Fraudsters often send fake SMS from 11-digit mobile numbers claiming you have won a prize or your account is blocked. BISP never communicates through private numbers. Always trust only the messages received from 8171.
