Introduction to BISP 8171: A Lifeline for Deserving Families
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) 8171 is a government initiative aimed at providing financial assistance to vulnerable families across Pakistan. More than 9 million women benefit from its Kafalat program, receiving quarterly financial support to meet their basic needs.
As 2024 unfolds, questions have emerged about a potential new requirement: opening a bank account to receive payments. In this article, we’ll clarify whether this is necessary, the registration process for new beneficiaries, and address frequently asked questions.
Who Needs to Open a Bank Account?
Contrary to widespread rumors, most women enrolled in BISP programs do not need to open a bank account. However, there is an exception:
Women with Fingerprint Verification Issues
If you’re unable to receive payments due to fingerprint verification problems, BISP requires you to open a bank account for seamless payment processing.
Steps to Confirm if You Need an Account
- Check Your Payment Status: Verify through the official 8171 helpline or website.
- Fingerprint Issues?: If you’ve encountered fingerprint errors at the payment center, proceed to open a bank account.
How to Open a Bank Account for BISP Payments💰
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Visit NADRA Office: Update your fingerprint records.
- NADRA Slip: If the issue persists, NADRA will issue a slip confirming unresolved fingerprint problems.
- BISP Office Submission: Bring the NADRA slip to your nearest BISP office and request a “Form for Alternate Payment Method.”
- Form Completion: Attach the NADRA slip and submit the form.
- Bank Account Activation: Upon approval, your payments will be deposited directly into your bank account.
By following these steps, women can overcome verification issues and ensure they continue receiving their payments without interruption.
