BISP 3rd Phase Starting Date Announced | Govt. Planning to Increase BISP Amount?
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) will begin its third phase of payments in Early June 2025, with the aim of delivering financial aid to eligible families before Eid-ul-Adha, which is likely to fall on June 7, 2025.
Expected Timeline
- Start Date: The 3rd phase is expected to begin in early June 2025, likely between June 1–5, to ensure funds reach beneficiaries before Eid-ul-Adha (projected for June 6–10, 2025, depending on moon sighting).
- Duration: Payments will likely continue through June 30, 2025, to cover all eligible districts.
- Eid Consideration: BISP often accelerates payments before major holidays. For example, March 2025 payments were distributed before Eid-ul-Fitr to help families celebrate. A similar approach is expected for Eid-ul-Adha, with funds prioritized for early June.
Districts Covered
Unlike the first two phases in 2025, which covered specific districts (e.g., 86 districts in Phase 1 and 55 in Phase 2 for April), the 3rd phase is expected to include remaining districts not covered earlier or those requiring follow-up payments. While the exact list of districts for June 2025 is not yet confirmed, BISP typically ensures nationwide coverage across all phases.
Beneficiaries should check the official BISP website (www.bisp.gov.pk) or contact the helpline (0800-26477) closer to June for the finalized district list.
