BISP Pilot Begins from 14 August: Women in Big Cities to Receive Payments Directly Into Bank Accounts!

A new chapter of financial inclusion is about to begin in Pakistan. Senator Rubina Khalid, Chairperson of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), has officially announced that from 14 August 2025, beneficiary women in key cities will start receiving financial aid directly into their personal bank accounts. The BISP Pilot Begins from 14 August, enabling women in major cities to receive payments directly into their bank accounts for greater transparency and empowerment.

This step is not just historic — it’s transformative. By removing intermediaries and providing direct access to funds, the BISP pilot puts control back in the hands of women.

Senator Rubina Khalid, Chairperson of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), announced this milestone initiative that will see personal bank accounts opened for female beneficiaries in major cities like Karachi, Lahore, Quetta, Peshawar, Gilgit, and Muzaffarabad.

What Is the BISP Pilot All About?

The new BISP initiative will roll out in six major cities:

• Karachi

• Lahore

• Quetta

• Peshawar

• Gilgit

• Muzaffarabad

The purpose of this pilot is to ensure that women no longer have to rely on agents, middlemen, or relatives to collect their stipends. Instead, they will have a bank account in their own name. This will allow them to withdraw money independently, save for emergencies, and manage their finances with dignity.

Why This Matters for Pakistani Women

For many women in low-income households, managing money has always been a challenge. Long queues, delayed payments, and unauthorized deductions made the process difficult. But now, the BISP pilot program is changing that.

With this new system:

• Funds go directly into personal bank accounts

• Women can withdraw money without middlemen

• It helps them feel empowered and in control

Financial independence is a big deal. It opens up new doors — from starting small businesses to managing household budgets more effectively.

From Cash to Digital: Pakistan Goes Modern

This isn’t just about banking. It’s about creating a digital economy where every citizen can take part. Senator Rubina Khalid mentioned that Digital Wallet Accounts will also be introduced soon. These wallets will allow women to pay bills, shop online, and save money digitally.

Pakistan is finally moving towards a future where technology meets social welfare.

What Makes This Pilot Stand Out

BISP has been recognized globally as one of the most effective social support systems. In the last year, delegations from other countries visited Pakistan to study the BISP model.

Here’s what sets this program apart:

• It identifies women as heads of households

• Uses CNIC-based verification

• Provides support in education, nutrition, and health

The new banking pilot is a natural next step in building a better, more inclusive system.

More Than Just Payments: The Bigger Picture

In addition to financial support, BISP is also focusing on skills training. The newly launched Benazir Hunarmand Program offers:

• Vocational training for women and family members

• Courses aligned with international job market standards

• Partnerships with NAVTTC, TEVTAs, and overseas employment programs

This means women won’t just receive help — they’ll be prepared for self-reliance and job opportunities.

Better Registration, Easier Access

BISP has also made registration easier than ever. Instead of waiting for a team to visit your home, you can now walk into a Dynamic Registry Center in your local tehsil.

And if you’ve been receiving aid for over three years? You’ll need to go through a re-survey to keep your data up-to-date.

This approach makes the system more reliable, fair, and transparent.

Clearing Misconceptions: It’s Not Charity

Some people say BISP makes people dependent. But Senator Rubina Khalid made it clear — this is not a charity program. It’s a way to bridge the income gap for families who are struggling.

When combined with training, education, and better health access, BISP becomes a complete support system — not just a handout.
