The BISP 8171 Phase 3 payments for August 2025 have officially started, giving a relief of Rs. 13,500 to eligible families across selected districts of Pakistan. This round is especially important for households that missed Phase 1 and Phase 2 due to survey issues, incomplete documents, or delays in verification. Now, with a fresh district list from Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan, thousands of women will finally receive their pending support.
This payment is not just cash for many low-income mothers, it means food for their children, medicine for the elderly, and school fees for their kids.

Who Can Get BISP Phase 3 Payment?
BISP releases payments in phases to avoid overcrowding and ensure a smooth process. Phase 3 targets districts that could not be covered earlier due to verification delays.
If your CNIC and NSER details are updated, and you didn’t receive money in the first two rounds, you are likely included now. Women who recently completed the NSER dynamic survey, fixed their biometric issues, or updated their documents are top priority in this phase.

Why BISP Payment Phase 3 Matters
For many families, this payment is a lifeline. Rising inflation, costly medical bills, and school expenses make it difficult to survive without such support. By targeting districts left out earlier, BISP ensures that no eligible woman is ignored due to paperwork or survey delays.
This phase also reflects BISP’s improved digital system; the upgraded portal reduces wait times, improves transparency, and makes fraud detection easier.
