BISP 8171 Introduces New Payment System For Women

Problems Of Old System

Millions of women in Pakistan receive financial assistance from the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP 8171). Earlier, this system was operated through campsites where women had to stand in queues for hours. Most of the women came from remote areas and had to endure the heat and heat all day long. Many times there were delays in payments, due to which women had to come again and again. This situation was not only a waste of time but also unsafe and uncomfortable for women.

New System: Digital Wallet Accounts

The Government of Pakistan and the Benazir Income Support Program have decided that now all deserving women will be provided with their assistance funds through digital wallet accounts. These wallet accounts will be in the style of Jazz Cash or Easy Paisa, through which women will be able to with

draw their money from any part of the country.

• The CNIC should not be expired.
• The woman should have a personal mobile phone.
• There should not be more than 5 SIM cards in the name of an individual. If there are more than 5 SIMs in someone’s name, then the additional SIMs should be deactivated immediately.

Free SIM Facility

BISP will provide free SIMs to women for the vault account. This SIM will be given by the program staff. Women have been strictly instructed not to buy any SIM from the shop or try to open any account on their own.
