The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) 8171 is currently distributing new payments across 86 districts in Pakistan, bringing relief to countless eligible women. However, many recipients still await their turn—especially those from districts excluded from the first phase. If you’re wondering when your district will receive payments and what the next steps are, this guide has all the answers you need.
BISP 8171 Second Phase: When Will It Start?
A common concern among many beneficiaries is: “When is the second phase of BISP payments starting?”
Here’s the good news—BISP has officially announced that the first phase will conclude by the end of April 2025. Following this, the second phase is expected to begin in the first week of May. If your area wasn’t part of the initial rollout, there’s no need to worry. Relief is just around the corner.

Which Districts Are Included in the Second Phase?
Another frequently asked question is about the districts included in the second phase. To clarify: BISP has divided the disbursement process into two distinct phases only.
- Phase 1: Currently active in 86 districts.
- Phase 2: Will cover all remaining districts that were not part of the first phase.
So, if you didn’t find your district listed earlier, rest assured—it will be part of this upcoming second round. There won’t be a third phase this time around.
How Will Payments Be Distributed in the Second Phase?
A lot of women are under the impression that payments in the second phase might be sent through bank transfers. Let’s set the record straight:
There is no change in the payment method.
Payments will once again be issued through BISP’s designated campsite locations, just like in the initial phase. While there are future plans to integrate bank accounts into the system, those updates haven’t rolled out yet.
So for now, continue to collect your payments from the official campsites. If anything changes, BISP will issue a public notice, and we’ll keep you updated immediately.
Final Thoughts
The rollout of BISP 8171 payments is happening in stages to ensure smooth processing and transparency. If your district wasn’t included in the initial batch, don’t panic—the second phase is on the way and will include all remaining areas.
✅ First Phase: Currently distributing in 86 districts
