If you’re wondering which cities in Pakistan will receive the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) 13,500 PKR installment starting April 14, 2025, you’ve come to the right place. Today, I’ll break it all down for you where you can get this payment, which cities are included, and what to expect if you’re a new or regular beneficiary.

When does the PKR 13,500 installment start?
First of all, the next installment of PKR 13,500 is scheduled to start on April 14, 2025, which is Monday. Initially, it was talked about from the 7th, but due to some cash availability issues, it has been pushed to next week.
I know some of you were hoping for a Friday payment, but traditionally, BISP payments are made on Mondays or Wednesdays. So, mark your calendars—April 14 is the official start date for this round!
Who will get the 13,500 installment?
Now let’s talk about who is getting this money. If you are a regular beneficiary — someone who has been receiving BISP payments consistently — this installment is most likely coming to you on April 14.
However, if you are a new beneficiary (recently registered), there is a chance that you may not get it yet. From what I have gathered, new entrants may have to wait until July 2025 (the 7th month) for their first payment. I am still double-checking this, so stay tuned — I will confirm if the new people surveyed with regular payments are included!
The government and the BISP team are working hard to ensure that eligible families receive this support, but it seems that this round may prioritize those who are already in the system. Either way, I will update you when I get solid confirmation.
Phase 1 vs Phase 2: Which cities are included?
This is where it gets interesting. The April 14 payment is part of Phase 1, and not all cities will see cash flow on that date. Some cities fall under Phase 2, meaning their disbursements will be made later—likely in May or June 2025. The difference depends on which banks are handling the disbursements in your area, especially HBL Connect, which covers specific areas.

Cities where you can collect PKR 13,500 on April 14 (Phase 1)
Good news! If your city is not listed above, you are in Phase 1, and the PKR 13,500 installment will be available from April 14, 2025. This applies to cities where banks like Bank Alfalah, JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or Bank of Punjab handle BISP payments. Some examples include:
- Mianwali
- Multan
- Rahim Yar Khan
- Chinewt
- Dera Ghazi Khan
- Tunsa
Basically, if your city is not on the Phase 2 list, you are good to go! Visit your nearest campsite from April 14 to 21 to collect your money.
How to collect your installment.
For those living in Phase 1 cities, the process is simple. Visit the BISP campsite in your area between April 14 and April 21, 2025. Make sure to bring your CNIC (National Identity Card) for verification. Payments will be made through banks like Bank Alfalah, Jazz Cash, Easypaisa, or Punjab Bank — whichever operates in your area. Oh, and here’s a bonus: If you’re eligible for a child stipend (educational stipend), it can also come with PKR 13,500!
For HBL Connect cities (Phase 2), the child stipend will be added to their main installment later, so it’ll all be bundled together when it’s your turn.

What about women who have already received a payment?
Here’s something I’m still verifying: some women who completed the NSER survey earlier may have already received a partial payment or stipend. I’m checking to see if they’ll still get the full 13,500 PKR this round or if this is just for those who haven’t received anything yet. I’ll update you once I get the details — promise!
