The Government of Pakistan has officially released the final installment of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) for December 2025, providing financial relief to over 1.9 million deserving families across the country. This update marks another significant step in supporting vulnerable citizens during ongoing economic challenges, including inflation and unemployment.
Who Are the Beneficiaries of This Payment?
This round of payments is mainly targeted at “old beneficiaries.” These are individuals and families who were registered under previous batches of BISP or related programs like Ehsaas Kafalat, but for various reasons, did not receive their complete payments earlier.
These may include:
- Widowed or elderly women
- People with disabilities
- Low-income households
- Unemployed women or female-headed families
Many of these beneficiaries faced issues such as expired CNICs, incomplete documents, or banking delays in the past. The government has now resolved these problems and ensured that the final December payment reaches them without further delay.

How Much Money Will Beneficiaries Receive?
Most families will receive payments between Rs. 10500 and Rs. 13,500, depending on several factors:
- The type of BISP assistance they were enrolled in (such as Kafalat, Emergency Cash, or others)
- The number of children in the household (especially if enrolled in school)
- Any pending or combined payments from previous months
If a family missed out on earlier payments, they may receive a larger amount this time.
Which Banks Are Distributing the Payments?
To make the payment process faster and more secure, the government has partnered with six major banks:
- Habib Bank Limited (HBL)
- United Bank Limited (UBL)
- Bank Alfalah
- National Bank of Pakistan (NBP)
- Sindh Bank
- Bank of Punjab (BOP)
Beneficiaries can visit the nearest branch or payment center linked with these banks to collect their money. In some areas, mobile payment units or designated BISP camps may also be used. BISP Releases Final December 2025 Payment
