What Is Phase 3 of the Ehsaas Rs. 13,500 Payment?
Payments under the Ehsaas 8171 / BISP program are released in phases to reduce crowding, ease system pressure, and ensure organized delivery. Phase 3 is particularly important because it includes people who:
-
Were marked “under verification.”
-
Had blocked or expired CNICs
-
Faced biometric or technical issues
-
Missed earlier cycles (June or July)
Phase 3 began on 28 July 2025 and is now active across all provinces, including Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir. Most of the beneficiaries in this round have been recently reverified or cleared through the 8171 portal.
