The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) provides quarterly payments to millions of deserving families across Pakistan. Traditionally, these payments have been distributed at designated camp sites nationwide. However, for the April–June 2025 installment, the government decided to distribute payments through retailer shops.

This change led to a wave of complaints from many areas. Taking this feedback into account, the government has now announced that the July to September installment will be distributed again through official camp sites.
