BISP July 2025: Payments Stopped for Tax-Filer Households – Final Update
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has issued an important update that will directly affect thousands of registered women across Pakistan. In a new policy shift, BISP has decided to disqualify women and their families if they or any member of their household is found to be an income tax filer.
This means women associated with families who pay taxes or have declared income through official government records will no longer be considered eligible for BISP financial support. For those affected, the final payment was already issued during the April–June 2025 cycle, and no further payments will be made starting July 2025.
Let’s explore the full details of this announcement and what it means for beneficiaries.

Complete Guide for Affected Beneficiaries
🔎 Who Is Being Removed and Why?
The new BISP July 2025 disqualification policy specifically targets women who are married to or living with registered tax filers, belong to households that declare income or assets, or are listed as financially stable in BISP and NADRA records.
The core objective behind this step is to:
| Core Objective | Priority Level | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
❌
Eliminate ineligible individuals
|
High Priority | Remove beneficiaries who no longer meet poverty criteria |
|
🎯
Ensure that BISP support reaches low-income families only
|
Essential | Focus resources on genuinely deserving households |
|
⚖️
Promote transparency and fairness in payment distribution
|
Governance | Ensure equitable distribution of welfare funds |
📋 Conditions for Disqualification

🧭 Purpose Behind This Action
This policy shift is not a punishment. It’s a strategic correction to ensure fair distribution of public funds. Remember, BISP was designed to support:
| Target Beneficiary Group | Priority Level | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
👩
Widows
|
High Priority | Women who have lost their husbands and lack support |
|
👩💼
Poor and jobless women
|
High Priority | Women without employment or stable income sources |
|
👥
Unemployed individuals
|
Important | People without regular employment or income |
|
🏠
Families with no stable income
|
Target Group | Households lacking consistent financial support |
Over time, some financially secure families entered the program incorrectly. This cleanup action ensures that only genuinely deserving households remain in the beneficiary list.
❓ What Should You Do If You Are Affected?
If you’ve received a BISP payment stopped message or your payment is missing without explanation, follow these steps:
Check if your husband or household member is a tax filer
Verify tax filing status of all household members
Visit your nearest BISP office with your original CNIC
Bring valid identification for status verification
Request a status update or ask about the appeal process
Inquire about current status and available appeal options
If wrongly marked, you can apply for re-verification
Submit application for status review if incorrectly classified
But if your household truly pays income tax, you are no longer eligible and will not receive future BISP payments.
