The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has launched the third phase of the Kafalat Program, providing financial aid to students in deserving families across Pakistan. The program aims to make collecting aid hassle-free and peaceful for beneficiaries. Beneficiaries can expect easy payments and can receive updates via SMS from 8171. The program aims to provide financial assistance to deserving families throughout Pakistan.
The third phase of the BISP Kafalat program began on July 3, 2024
The scheme aims to provide a convenient and transparent means of distributing funds to low-income families, utilizing a decentralization system. This system minimizes travel time for beneficiaries and expedites all operations. Beneficiaries must wait for a confirmation message on their mobile number 8171 before visiting distribution centers, especially for older people, who may find traveling difficult. Elderly beneficiaries are encouraged to wait 10 days after receiving the message.
SMS Alerts
BISP is implementing a daywise distribution system to manage many beneficiaries. SMS notifications from 8171 inform beneficiaries about the day they can visit a distribution center. This phased approach helps control crowds and streamlines the distribution process. Payments must be accepted with all dues, and fingerprint validation ensures secure transactions. Complaints should be lodged immediately if someone tries to take money, and the person involved will be removed from the beneficiary list.
