Who Will Get the BISP Payment in Phase 1?
Here’s the thing: Not everyone gets paid at once. BISP has divided the areas into different phases to make sure there’s no rush or long waiting queues. In this first phase, only selected districts are included.
So, if your area isn’t part of the first list, sit tight. You’ll get your turn in phase 2 or phase 3 soon, most likely within the next few weeks.
