The Government of Pakistan has introduced the BISP Electricity Subsidy August 2025 to help low-income households reduce their monthly electricity bills. This relief targets women registered under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) who consume under 200 electricity units per month. The subsidy will be applied directly to the bills, reducing expenses without extra paperwork.
