A major step toward financial empowerment for women in Pakistan begins this August. The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is launching a new pilot program from 14 August 2025, enabling women in key urban areas to receive financial aid directly into their personal bank accounts — no more delays, no more middlemen.
📢 What’s New in BISP 2025?
Senator Rubina Khalid, Chairperson of BISP, has officially announced the rollout of a direct bank transfer system in six major cities:
-
Karachi
-
Lahore
-
Quetta
-
Peshawar
-
Gilgit
-
Muzaffarabad
This initiative ensures that female beneficiaries will now have bank accounts in their own names, allowing them to receive, save, and manage their stipends independently.
💡 Why the BISP Pilot Program Matters
For years, women in low-income households have faced challenges like:
-
Long queues for cash collection
-
Deductions by agents or middlemen
-
Lack of control over their finances
With this new banking pilot, BISP is ensuring:
✅ Direct payments into personal bank accounts
✅ Independence from agents and middlemen
✅ Greater transparency and dignity
✅ Opportunities for savings and emergency planning
🚀 From Cash-Based to Digital: A New Era of Financial Inclusion
This pilot marks Pakistan’s transition towards a digital economy. Alongside direct bank deposits, Digital Wallets are set to launch soon, allowing women to:
-
Pay utility bills
-
Make online purchases
-
Save money digitally
-
Access essential financial tools
This is a transformative step for social welfare in Pakistan — modern, secure, and empowering.

BISP is already internationally recognized for its impact. Here’s what makes it a leading model:
-
Prioritizes women as heads of households
-
Uses CNIC-based biometric verification
-
Supports access to education, nutrition, and health services

Now evolving with modern banking systems
This new pilot strengthens BISP’s mission to build a more inclusive, technology-driven welfare system.

🚫 BISP is Not Charity — It’s a Lifeline
Chairperson Rubina Khalid made it clear:
