8171, Benazir Income Support Programme has released the Phase 2 District Payment List for the December 2025 payment cycle. This update shows which districts will receive BISP payments in the second phase of the month. Many women across Pakistan are checking the list so they know when and where to collect their cash assistance.
What Is BISP Phase 2 Payment?
BISP divides payments into phases to manage large numbers of beneficiaries. Not all districts receive money at the same time. Phase 1 covers some districts, and Phase 2 covers the next group. This avoids long crowds at payment sites and helps the process run smoothly.
For December 2025, Phase 2 has its own list of districts where payments begin after Phase 1.
Why Phase-Wise Payments?
Phase-wise payments help in:
- Reducing crowding at payment centers
- Improving biometric verification
- Organizing district-based schedules
- Ensuring safe and efficient payment delivery
This system is fair and helps many women receive their money without confusion.
