What Has Changed in the Payment Method?
Previously, BISP payments were distributed at camp sites, where women had to wait in long lines, often under tough weather conditions. But now, the process has changed.
Starting June 2025, payments will no longer be made at campsites. Instead, they will now be issued through approved retailer shops. Beneficiaries can visit the nearest authorized retailer and collect their money after biometric verification using their CNIC (ID card).
This change is effective across the country and will help make the payment process faster, easier, and more respectful.
Why Was This Change Introduced?
This move was taken to make life easier for women, especially those living in rural or remote areas. Some key reasons include:
- No more long queues and waiting in harsh weather.
- Easier access to payments near your home.
- More transparency and reduced chances of fraud or deduction.
- Biometric verification ensures that the money goes to the rightful person.
It’s a people-first decision, aiming to restore the dignity and comfort of all BISP recipients.
