In a recent update concerning the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), crucial information has been shared regarding the upcoming installment disbursements and requirements. Here’s what beneficiaries need to know about the new process, including details on JazzCash accounts, payment status, and steps for those with blocked or under-review cards.
BISP News for Beneficiaries
- JazzCash Account Not Required:
Beneficiaries will not need to create a JazzCash account to receive their upcoming BISP New installments. Payments will be made directly through designated devices provided by BISP. These devices, equipped with BISP logos, will allow beneficiaries to withdraw their payments by simply placing their finger on the device. This method ensures a straightforward process without the need for a separate JazzCash account. - Payments for Dynamic Survey Registrants:
Beneficiaries who completed their dynamic survey registration over the past six months but whose cards remain under investigation will receive their payments if their PMT (Proxy Means Test) score is 32 or below. Those with a PMT score above 32 will unfortunately not receive payments for this cycle. - Blocked Cards:
Beneficiaries with blocked cards will not receive payments until their card status is resolved. These individuals need to address any issues causing the blockage to resume receiving their benefits. - Verification and SMS Instructions:
Beneficiaries whose cards are under verification should expect to receive SMS instructions between September 15 and 20. They will be guided on how to check their status or claim their payments. For immediate updates, they can also visit the 8171 web portal. - General Information:
While JazzCash accounts are not necessary for receiving payments, beneficiaries are still encouraged to set up accounts for their personal convenience if they wish to use JazzCash services for other financial needs.
