What is BISP Ehsaas Kafalat?
Before we jump into collection channels, let’s clear one thing: what is BISP Ehsaas Kafalat?
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) under the Ehsaas umbrella is a financial support program for low-income families in Pakistan. Through the Kafalat scheme, eligible women receive regular cash payments to help them manage household expenses. In 2025, the government has made it even easier to get these payments through different channels.
Who is eligible for Ehsaas Kafalat payments?
Here’s a quick checklist to see if you (or your relative) might be eligible:
- Women from low-income families
- Families registered in the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER)
- Those who do not own significant property or businesses
- Families without any formal government jobholders
- Women holding valid CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card)
If you tick all these boxes, you’re good to go!
Main payment collection channels in 2025
Now, let’s get to the main part — how and where to collect your payments. In 2025, the government has introduced multiple collection channels to make life easier. No more endless waiting or standing in sweaty queues for hours!
1. Bank branches
Many people now prefer to collect payments directly from bank branches. The good thing is:
- You can visit designated branches of Habib Bank Limited (HBL) and Bank Alfalah.
- Payments are handed over after biometric verification, so no one else can take your money.
- Banks are usually more secure and comfortable (bonus: you might get free chai if you’re lucky!).
2. ATM machines
ATMs are a lifesaver if you want to avoid human interaction and collect your cash anytime. Here’s why people love them:
- Available 24/7 (even if you wake up at 3 am craving biryani money!).
- Simple biometric or PIN-based verification.
- Less crowd and faster service.
3. Retail shops and designated agents

- Receive your payment directly into your mobile account.
- Transfer to other bank accounts if needed.
- Withdraw cash from any supported ATM.
5. Special payment camps
For those living in remote or hard-to-reach areas, the government still sets up special camps. Features include:
