The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has shared important payment-related instructions for beneficiaries to help them receive their financial assistance safely and avoid unauthorized deductions. The awareness poster carrying the logos of JazzCash, BISP and Mobilink Bank explains how beneficiaries should collect their payments and report complaints.
Women receiving financial assistance under the Benazir Kafaalat Programme should carefully check their payment details and follow official instructions before withdrawing their money.
BISP Payment Amount: What Does the Poster Say?
According to the circulated poster, if a beneficiary's approved payment is Rs. 14,500, it mentions a deduction of Rs. 280 and a remaining amount of Rs. 14,220.
Important: This deduction is stated in the circulated poster and should not be treated as an officially confirmed BISP payment charge. BISP's official guidance says beneficiaries must receive their full payment without unauthorized deductions and should obtain a receipt.
Important Instructions for BISP Beneficiaries
Beneficiaries should follow these precautions when receiving their financial assistance:
- Collect the full approved payment.
- Do not pay any unauthorized commission or service fee.
- Do not allow an agent to deduct additional money.
- Count the cash before leaving the payment centre.
- Always request a payment receipt.
- Verify the amount received against the official payment information.
How to Register a BISP Payment Complaint
If an agent deducts money, refuses to provide the full payment, or demands an unauthorized fee, beneficiaries should immediately report the matter to BISP.

Beneficiaries can also visit their nearest BISP Tehsil Office to register a complaint. BISP has repeatedly warned that unauthorized deductions are not allowed.
Beware of Fake Messages and Payment Scams
Beneficiaries should trust only official BISP communication. The programme has identified 8171 as its official SMS number. Do not share your CNIC details, PIN or verification information with unknown people, and never pay anyone for registration or survey services.
Final Advice for Beneficiaries
Before collecting your BISP installment, confirm your approved payment through official channels. Receive your full entitled amount, check the receipt and report any unauthorized deduction immediately. These precautions can help protect deserving families from payment fraud and exploitation.
