Are you struggling to afford groceries, school fees, or household bills? You’re not alone. In Pakistan, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is offering a lifeline to low-income families—especially with its new mobile van registration drive in July 2025.
Whether you live in a busy city like Karachi or a remote village in Balochistan, mobile registration vans are now reaching your area. This article breaks down how BISP rural and urban vans work, how to register, and what documents you need—so you can access your Rs. 13,500 quarterly payment without the hassle.
✅ What Is BISP and Why Does It Matter in 2025?
BISP (Benazir Income Support Programme) is a government initiative that provides cash assistance to financially vulnerable families in Pakistan. As of July 2025, the quarterly cash amount has increased to Rs. 13,500, helping thousands cover essential needs like:
-
Food and groceries
-
Medical expenses
-
Utility bills
-
School fees
Important: To receive this aid, you must register with BISP—and that’s where the mobile vans come in!
🚐 Why BISP Is Using Mobile Vans in 2025
Getting to a BISP office isn’t always easy—especially for families in remote villages or crowded urban neighborhoods. That’s why BISP has launched mobile vans, acting like “offices on wheels” to register families on the spot.
These vans are categorized into:
-
Rural Vans – For hard-to-reach villages and mountain areas
-
Urban Vans – For congested cities with long queues at BISP centers
Each van is tailored to handle the specific needs of its location, making the process faster and more accessible for everyone.
