The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has begun distributing the Rs. 13,500 quarterly payment for July 2025. To make the process safer and smoother, BISP is using a camp cluster system in selected districts across Pakistan.
This system aims to manage crowds, reduce agent cuts, and ensure eligible families receive their full payment transparently. Let’s break down exactly how it works, which districts are included, and what you need to do to get your payment without trouble.
How the BISP Camp Cluster System Works
To avoid long queues, scams, and confusion, BISP has divided districts into clusters. Each cluster has dedicated payment points set up in:
-
Government schools
-
Local community halls
-
Partner bank branches
-
Authorized JazzCash agent shops
Here’s the idea:
-
Partner banks like Bank of Punjab (BOP) or services like JazzCash run payment points in these clusters.
-
Women visit their assigned cluster.
-
Biometric verification is done on the spot.
-
Full payment is given immediately—no illegal cuts allowed.
