The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has launched a major upgrade in 2025 to ensure faster, safer, and more transparent payments for low-income families. Under this new phase, 200,000 ATM-enabled cards are being distributed to women enrolled in the BISP Kafaalat Program, marking a digital transformation in public financial assistance in Pakistan.
What Is the BISP 200,000 Card?
The BISP 200,000 Card is an official debit card issued to eligible women for direct access to their quarterly payments of Rs. 13,500. The card can be used to withdraw cash from any partner bank’s ATM or to make purchases through POS (Point-of-Sale) terminals at authorized shops.
This initiative removes the middleman, reduces fraud, and empowers women by giving them financial control. No more long queues or deductions at retail agents — just safe, direct, and transparent payments.
