BISP 8171 July 2025 Payment Delayed 3 Days Due to Muharram Holidays

If you’re waiting for your BISP 8171 July 2025 payment, here’s an important update: the Government of Pakistan has announced a temporary 3-day delay in payments due to the start of Muharram, a sacred Islamic month. Payments that were expected to start from July 5 will now begin from July 9, 2025.

This step has been taken for the safety, convenience, and religious observance of beneficiaries across Pakistan.

Reason for the Delay

Muharram is a month of deep religious significance. Many offices, including government departments and banks, observe reduced working hours or closures between July 5 to July 8, 2025. BISP has paused all payment activities during this period to respect religious practices and manage payment distribution more efficiently.

Who is Affected

This delay applies to all BISP 8171 beneficiaries who were expecting to collect their Rs. 13,500 installment starting July 5. The affected groups include:

• Women eligible under the Benazir Kafalat Program

• Students receiving Benazir Taleemi Wazaif

• Applicants recently approved in June or July 2025

All payments will now be processed between July 9 to July 13, depending on your city or district.
