The BISP November 2025 Phase 1 distribution marks a brand new start in how welfare bills are launched in Pakistan. By focusing first on key districts, which include Karachi, Lahore, Quetta, Peshawar, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Multan, Hyderabad, and Rawalpindi, the government goals to set an example of efficient and transparent transport.
