Why BISP Campsites Are Set Up in 2025
The government started introducing campsites last year to tackle several issues that families were facing:
- Long delays at ATM machines due to network errors.
- Overcrowding at BISP retail shops.
- Complaints of unauthorized deductions by agents.
- Need for a safe and organized payment process, especially for women and elderly beneficiaries.
By setting up campsites in schools, community centers, and open grounds, the government ensures faster and more transparent payment distribution.
How the BISP Campsite System Works
When a new payment phase begins, BISP announces special camps in selected districts. Beneficiaries receive an SMS from 8171 with details of their nearest campsite.
Here’s what happens at the campsite:
- Entry and Token – Beneficiaries are given a token number.
- CNIC Verification – NADRA-linked machines confirm your identity.
- Biometric Scan – Fingerprint verification ensures secure payments.
- Cash Collection – Once verified, you receive your installment in cash.
- Receipt – A printed or digital receipt is provided for record.
Required Documents for Payment Collection
Before going to a campsite, make sure you carry:
- Original CNIC (valid and not expired).
- Copy of CNIC (recommended).
- SMS notification from 8171 (if received).
- Disability or widowhood certificate (only if applicable).
Without original CNIC, payment cannot be processed.
