BISP Payment 13500 Phase 2 Will Start From 18 November in 54 Districts
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) continues its mission to support low-income families across Pakistan. The second phase of the 13,500 PKR quarterly payments is set to begin on 18 November 2024, covering 54 districts nationwide. This phase aims to expand the reach of financial aid to additional beneficiaries while ensuring the timely disbursement of funds. Here’s a detailed guide to understanding this initiative.
BISP Payment Phase 2
The second phase of the BISP payment process targets families who qualify based on updated socio-economic data. Payments are released quarterly to ensure financial stability for vulnerable households. During Phase 2, beneficiaries in the newly added districts will start receiving their payments, addressing delays faced in the earlier stages.
Funds are disbursed in stages to prevent overcrowding at collection points and ensure a smooth process. This phase follows the successful rollout of payments in Phase 1, which began earlier this year in selected districts.
