Why is the Government Recovering BISP Payments?
The BISP program was launched to support the poorest families across Pakistan.
Unfortunately, over time, several public sector employees, pensioners, and financially stable individuals also managed to get enrolled and received financial assistance.
To correct this injustice, the government has decided:
- To recover all the funds given to ineligible individuals.
- To take legal action if the money is not returned.
This step ensures that only the truly deserving continue to benefit from the BISP funds.
Details from the Official Notice

What Happens If You Are Still Receiving BISP Payments?
If you are:
- A government employee (current or retired)
- A pensioner
- Or if you hid your financial status to keep receiving payments
then you must:
- Prepare to repay the full amount you have received.
- Avoid ignoring notices because non-payment could result in:
- Legal court cases
- Fines
- Seizure of property
- Additional penalties
The government has prepared complete lists through NADRA and internal BISP audits to identify all such beneficiaries.
What Should Affected Individuals Do?
If you have wrongly received BISP funds, you should:
- Visit your nearest BISP office immediately.
- Discuss your case openly and request a payment plan (if possible).
- Deposit the amount either through designated banks or government treasury.
- Keep a copy of the payment receipt as proof.
Taking proactive steps can save you from future legal troubles and protect your credibility.
