Pakistan’s government has released BISP’s new payment for Benazir Taleemi Wazaif and eligible beneficiaries of the Kafalat program. This is the last phase of payment initiated by BISP. Many beneficiaries received their payments on the first day of release, but many could not due to overcrowding at the campsites. Details on how eligible beneficiaries can accept payments and whether they can receive payments from other locations are provided in this article. The article also addresses questions about receiving payments from other BISP campsites.
Payment via Campsites
BISP has changed its payment method, allowing eligible beneficiaries to collect their payments through specific campsites established by the organization. This means those who used to go to connect agents or bank retailers will no longer need to go there. Instead, beneficiaries must collect their payments at the designated campsites.
For those who faced difficulties at the campsites on the first day, BISP clarified that payments are provided only through these specific sites. However, a facility has been provided for those who need help to receive payments due to overcrowding at the campsites. Beneficiaries can go to another campsite in their city to collect their money. It is important to note that payment can only be received from a campsite by going to the recipient’s city.
