The BISP 3rd Installment for 2026 is now being distributed through banks to make the process faster, safer, and more convenient for beneficiaries. This initiative eliminates the need to stand in long queues at payment centers, allowing families to receive funds directly in their registered bank accounts. In addition to financial assistance, eligible recipients can also claim a free SIM card to stay connected and access essential mobile services. This combined approach supports both monetary aid and digital inclusion.

To receive the 3rd Installment, beneficiaries must ensure that their CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) and bank account details are updated in the BISP database. This verification step ensures that payments are processed correctly and without delays.

The free SIM card provided with the BISP Installment is a prepaid card with basic call and data services. It is part of BISP’s effort to promote digital connectivity among beneficiaries. The SIM can be used to receive SMS notifications about future payments, access online services, and stay connected with family and friends.
Eligibility for SIM Card
Not all beneficiaries automatically receive the SIM card. You must provide a working mobile number registered in your name during the bank verification process. SIM cards are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so timely registration is recommended. Your bank will confirm eligibility during the payment process.
Payment and SIM Collection Process
Once your bank confirms eligibility, the BISP 3rd Installment will be deposited into your account within one to two working days. You may receive an SMS alert once the payment is credited. The SIM card can be collected either from the bank branch or via courier if supported. After receiving it, visit a local telecom outlet for activation using your CNIC. Once activated, the SIM can be used immediately for calls, data, and SMS notifications.
