This article provides a detailed guide for the families of flood victims in Sindh who are registered with the Sindh Peoples Housing Foundation (SPHF) and the Sindh Rural Support Organization (SRSO). If a primary registered beneficiary has passed away, this guide explains how their legal heirs can successfully transfer house construction installments to their own accounts.
SPHF & SRSO Guide: How to Transfer House Installments for Deceased Beneficiaries
The Sindh Peoples Housing Foundation (SPHF) is a monumental project by the Government of Sindh aimed at rebuilding over 2.1 million houses destroyed in the 2022 floods. However, a common challenge arises when a registered head of the family (beneficiary) passes away before all installments are received.
To ensure that the “Home for Every Flood Victim” mission remains uninterrupted, SPHF and its implementing partners like SRSO have established a clear legal procedure to transfer the remaining funds to the rightful heirs.
Step-by-Step Procedure for Heirship Transfer in SPHF 2026
If your family member was a registered beneficiary and has passed away, follow these steps to update the record and resume the installment payments:
Report the Death: Immediately inform the local SRSO (Sindh Rural Support Organization) field office or the social mobilization team in your village.
Identify the Successor: The family must mutually agree on one legal heir (usually the spouse or the eldest child) who will be responsible for the house construction.
Data Update on SPHF App: The field team will use the specialized SPHF mobile application to mark the original beneficiary as “Deceased” and initiate the “Successor Change” request.
Biometric Verification: The new heir must undergo biometric verification at a designated center or through the field team to link their CNIC with the project.
Checklist: Mandatory Documents for Transferring Installments
To process the transfer, the legal heirs must provide the following documents to the SRSO or SPHF focal person:
Death Certificate: An official death certificate issued by the Union Council (UC) or NADRA.
Original CNIC of the Deceased: A copy of the deceased beneficiary’s national identity card.
CNIC of the Legal Heir: Original and copy of the CNIC of the person taking over the responsibility.
Family Registration Certificate (FRC): Issued by NADRA, showing the family tree and relationship to the deceased.
Affidavit (Nikkah-Nama/Heirship Certificate): In some cases, an affidavit from the village elders or a legal heirship certificate from the local court/administration may be required to prevent disputes.
Registered Mobile Number: A mobile SIM card registered in the name of the new heir to receive payment alerts.
How SPHF Installments are Disbursed to New Heirs
Once the documentation is verified and the database is updated, the remaining installments (Plinth, Lintel, and Roof levels) will be disbursed through the digital banking system.
Bank Account/Wallet: The funds are usually transferred to a bank account or a digital wallet (like JazzCash/EasyPaisa) linked to the new heir’s CNIC.
Field Verification: Before each installment, a technical team will visit the site to verify the progress of the house construction. Money is only released if the work matches SPHF’s “Build Back Better” standards.
Why You Should Act Immediately
Delaying the transfer process can lead to the “freezing” of the funds in the government treasury. By providing the correct paperwork, you ensure:
Zero Loss of Funds: The money intended for your home stays within the family.
Construction Continuity: You can complete your house before the next monsoon season.
Legal Protection: Proper documentation protects the family from internal disputes regarding the ownership of the new house.
Contact Information and Support
For further assistance, beneficiaries can visit:
SRSO Regional Offices: Located in Sukkur, Larkana, Khairpur, and other major districts.

SEO Pro Tip for Beneficiaries: Always ensure that the mobile number provided during the “Successor Change” is active and registered on the same CNIC as the new heir. This is the most common reason for payment delays in the SPHF project.
