New Payment System Launched by BISP
Beginning on June 16, 2025, the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) will implement a new retail payment model throughout Pakistan. The goal of the new system is to provide women beneficiaries with greater accessibility, convenience, and transparency, enabling them to receive their quarterly installments hassle-free and on time.
In addition to resolving long-standing issues, the government of Pakistan and BISP officials hope that this system will protect worthy women from the heat, sun, and lines of campsites. Women will now be paid directly by local stores or retail representatives.
Retail Payment Model: What Is It?
Instead of going to a bank branch or a designated campsite, worthy women can now pick up their money from the closest authorized shopkeeper (retail agents) under the new retail payment model.
Important points:
- Fingerprint biometric authentication will be required.
- Only the truly deserving woman will receive the funds.
- Retail stores will process payments every day, with some locations offering 24/7 service.
Motives behind the system’s introduction:
- Avoiding overcrowding at campsites during intense heat
- Preventing corruption and opaque payments
- Providing women with quick and simple access
- Complete monitoring using digital recording
What Advantages Will This System Offer?
- Making it easier for recipients to obtain funds from the closest store
- Is it feasible to receive payment sooner?
- Clear payment without bribery or an agent
- Beneficiary identity verification using biometrics
- Saving money, time, and effort
