The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially started its 8171 December Payment Schedule 2025, bringing relief to millions of deserving families across Pakistan.
This payment cycle includes Benazir Kafalat stipends, Taleemi Wazaif scholarships for children, and special emergency funds for families facing economic challenges.
The government has ensured that all payments are distributed smoothly, transparently, and safely through HBL and Bank Alfalah agents, school-based centers, and mobile camps for remote areas.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explain the payment dates, eligibility rules, biometric verification process, authorized campsites, and re-verification steps for previously ineligible women.
8171 BISP December 2025 Payment Schedule
To prevent overcrowding and ensure fair distribution, the government has divided the December payments into different phases. Each category has a specific start date and collection channel:

A major update in the December 2025 payment cycle is the reopening of the re-verification process for women who were previously declared ineligible due to:
-
Outdated CNIC

Incomplete family data

Biometric mismatches
These women can now update their CNIC details at NADRA, complete biometric verification at a BISP Tehsil Office, and reapply for inclusion before 15 December 2025.
Required Steps:
-
Update CNIC information at NADRA.

Visit nearest BISP Tehsil Office for biometric verification.

Required Documents for Payment Collection
To collect your BISP or Taleemi Wazaif payment, bring the following documents:
| Document | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Original CNIC | Identity and biometric verification |
| Registered Mobile Number | For SMS confirmation |
| NADRA Update Slip | If recently updated CNIC |
| Student’s B-Form (for Taleemi Wazaif) | For school-based payments |
Only original CNICs are accepted — photocopies are not valid for biometric verification.

Although the system has been streamlined, some beneficiaries may experience delays due to:
-
