The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has taken a major step to improve how financial assistance is delivered to low-income families in Pakistan. Starting from August 2025, BISP has introduced a new camp system for payment distribution. This new arrangement will also continue into September 2025, covering more districts and beneficiaries under the 8171 Kafalat Program.
This article provides complete details about the BISP Camp Arrangements for August–September 2025, including who can attend, how to prepare, and what facilities are available at the camps.
What is the BISP Camp System?
In the past, beneficiaries had to collect their payments through ATMs or banks, which often led to long queues, technical issues, and even harassment by agents charging illegal fees.

To solve these issues, BISP has introduced organized payment camps across Pakistan. These camps are set up in local areas such as schools, union councils, and community centers. The goal is to make the process easier, faster, and more respectful for everyone involved.
