The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is committed to helping low-income families in Pakistan. According to the latest news from the BISP web portal, eligible families can now enroll until 2027. A new enrollment process allows households to register using their CNIC cards at Tehsil offices. Families currently benefiting from BISP can also update their information to receive new payments.
BISP Enrollment Now Open for New Applicants
The BISP program is one of Pakistan’s largest social support initiatives. It helps many families who struggle with poverty. BISP plans to enroll more families over the next three years. Through this extended period, more people have the chance to register in the program. Enrollments are open through the National Socio-Economic Registry Survey, which is crucial to ensuring that financial aid reaches deserving families.
Benefits of Early Registration
Families who register now can start receiving payments sooner. The government has planned for beneficiaries to receive Rs. 13,500. Those who delay registration may have to wait longer to access their benefits. Therefore, early registration can be beneficial.
Increased Support Starting 2025
Starting in 2025, BISP will increase its quarterly installment payments. The increase will help families manage daily expenses better. The government will raise quarterly payments to Rs. 13,500 from January 2025. This update aligns with efforts to better support low-income families and improve their financial situation.
Digital Payment System to Minimize Issues
In recent discussions, BISP representatives talked about changing the payment method. This change will introduce a digital payment system that is transparent and secure. The new payment method aims to prevent deduction issues that have affected beneficiaries in the past. It also reduces the need for beneficiaries to travel frequently to receive payments. Instead, funds will be available directly in their accounts.
The Shift to a Digital Payment Process
BISP has decided to move to a digital and transparent payment method. This shift will make receiving benefits easier and more secure for families. The system will use open banking, making payments accessible through ATMs with biometric verification. This change is expected to save time and simplify the process for beneficiaries.
Increased Quarterly Payments Announced
The government has approved a 20% increase in quarterly payments for BISP. From January 2025, eligible beneficiaries will receive Rs. 13,500 every quarter. This increase reflects the government’s commitment to supporting low-income families by providing them with more financial aid. The updated payment amount should help beneficiaries manage their expenses better.
Accessing Payments Easily with Biometric Verification
With the new system, beneficiaries can collect their payments from any approved ATM using biometric verification. This change eliminates the need to stand in long lines at collection centers. Beneficiaries will also receive clear instructions on using ATMs for payments. The government hopes this new approach will make the BISP program more accessible and efficient for all.
Conclusion
The Benazir Income Support Program is evolving to meet the needs of low-income families more effectively. With extended enrollment until 2027 and an increase in quarterly payments starting in 2025, BISP aims to provide better support. The shift to a digital payment system offers a more secure and convenient way to receive payments. Through these efforts, BISP continues to help families improve their financial situation.
