Benazir Income Support Program New Payment

The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has recently rolled out the second phase of its financial assistance initiative for the year 2024. Beneficiaries are now receiving their payments of 10,500 rupees. In addition to the regular financial aid, the program also includes payments for children’s educational scholarships. This comprehensive support is aimed at alleviating poverty and promoting educational opportunities among low-income families.

Collection of Payments

Beneficiaries must visit designated campsites or centers to collect their payments. Due to the high volume of recipients, it is advisable to arrive early, preferably by 7:00 AM, to secure a token and avoid long waits. Many women have reported that the process at the campsites can be overwhelming due to the large crowds, so early arrival can make the process smoother and more efficient.

Issues and Complaints

While the majority of payments are being processed successfully, there have been reports of deductions in some areas. If you experience a reduction in your payment, it is important to visit the BISP office to file a complaint and seek resolution. BISP offices are equipped to handle these issues and ensure that beneficiaries receive the correct amount. New Developments in the Benazir Income Support Programme.

ATM and Payment Methods

A significant update for this installment is that it will not be disbursed through ATMs. Despite the restoration of ATM services, the 10,500 rupee payment must be collected from campsites or centers. This decision aims to streamline the distribution process and prevent fraud. Beneficiaries should not attempt to collect their payments from shops or ATMs for this installment.

New Survey and Eligibility

The program has also completed a new survey to identify and qualify additional beneficiaries. Those who were previously receiving payments of 9,000 rupees, and later 10,500 rupees, have seen an increase in their payments, with 80% of these individuals now being eligible. This requalification process ensures that the financial aid reaches those who need it most.

Reassessment and Future Payments

Women who have recently been reassessed will need to wait until July for their next payments. The reassessment process, which can take up to several months, is designed to ensure that only eligible recipients continue to receive aid. After June 15, a new batch of qualified recipients is expected to be announced. Beneficiaries should regularly check their status on the 7181 portal to confirm their eligibility and stay updated on their payment schedule.
