The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially announced Double Payment for 2026, bringing major relief for millions of low-income families across Pakistan. Under this update, eligible beneficiaries will receive a combined amount of Rs. 27,000, covering two quarterly installments in one phase.
What Is BISP Double Payment 2026?
The BISP Double Payment 2026 is a special relief measure introduced by the Government of Pakistan to compensate beneficiaries for delayed installments and provide additional financial support amid rising inflation.
Instead of receiving a single quarterly payment, eligible families will receive:
-
Rs. 13,500 + Rs. 13,500 = Rs. 27,000 (one-time combined payment)
The initiative ensures that no deserving household is left behind due to administrative or verification delays.

According to official BISP authorities, the double installment will be released in early 2026 through a transparent and digital system. Payments will be disbursed via:
-
BISP Payment Centers

Strict NADRA verification and biometric checks are being used to prevent fraud, duplication, and unauthorized claims.
