BISP Retail Payment Model 2025 – How to Collect Your Payment Easily
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially launched its retail-based payment model from June 16, 2025. This new system replaces the old campsite payment method, allowing beneficiaries to receive their cash from authorized retail shops near their homes.
This guide will help you understand how the new retail payment model works, what documents you need, how to find your outlet, and how to collect your money safely and smoothly.
Why BISP Introduced the Retail Payment Model
The BISP retail model was launched to improve convenience, safety, and transparency for women beneficiaries across Pakistan.
Key reasons include:
- Protection from heat: The old camps were often held outdoors in extreme weather.
- Convenience: Retail shops are easier to reach, especially for women and elderly people.
- Transparency: Biometric verification ensures fair distribution and prevents fraud.
- Better management: Shops and banks are equipped with digital systems and trained staff.
What You Need to Bring for Payment Collection
Before visiting your retail outlet, make sure you have:
- Your original CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card)
- Your BISP beneficiary record (if provided)
- Biometric verification available (clean fingers help recognition)
- Information about your district or tehsil outlet location
Always ensure you receive a printed receipt after collecting your money. Keep it safe as proof of payment.
Step-by-Step Process to Collect Payment from Retail Shop
| Step | Action |
| 1 | Visit your nearest authorized BISP retail outlet |
| 2 | Show your original CNIC to the agent |
| 3 | Confirm your beneficiary details |
| 4 | Complete biometric verification |
| 5 | Receive your cash payment |
| 6 | Collect your printed receipt before leaving |
If your fingerprint is not recognized, the agent should try again or use another finger.
How to Find Your Nearest BISP Retail Outlet
You can locate your assigned retail outlet by following these methods:
- Check the official BISP notice board or local office
- Ask your nearest partner bank branch
- Look for “BISP Retail Payment Point” signage on shops
- Call the BISP Helpline (0800-26477) for directions
- In rural areas, mobile vans may visit your area for payment
