The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has launched a special document verification process in August 2025 for both eligible and ineligible women. This initiative aims to ensure that financial aid only reaches those who meet the criteria, while ineligible beneficiaries are identified and removed from the payment list.
This verification is 100% free and can only be done through official BISP channels. The government has warned that no third party or agent is authorized to charge money for this process. Completing verification is essential to receive Rs 13,500 on time, without deductions or delays.
