In July 2025, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has introduced a new and more accessible way for women to receive their financial assistance. Now, instead of traveling long distances or waiting in crowded centers, beneficiaries can collect their BISP Kafalat payments directly from JazzCash authorized retail shops. This change is designed to make the process faster, easier, and safer for women, especially in remote or rural areas.
A Big Step Towards Easy Payment Collection
The BISP program helps low-income families, especially women, by offering regular financial support. But in many parts of Pakistan, collecting this money has been difficult. Long travel distances, unavailability of transport, and delays at banks made it hard for women to get their rightful payments.
To solve these problems, BISP has partnered with JazzCash, one of the most widely used mobile wallets in Pakistan. Now, women who are eligible can go to a nearby JazzCash shop, show their ID, and collect their money through a simple thumbprint verification. No need to stand in long lines or wait for hours anymore.
Who Can Collect the Payment from JazzCash?
This new method is not for everyone just yet. Only women who get a confirmation SMS from 8171 will be able to receive their payment through JazzCash in July 2025. This includes:
-
Women who have already been verified by BISP
-
New beneficiaries selected through the NSER survey
-
Mothers enrolled in the Waseela-e-Taleem program
-
Women who missed earlier payments due to errors
So, if you haven’t received a message, it’s best to wait or check your status online first.
How Much Money Can You Get?
The amount of money each woman can receive may vary depending on her eligibility. Here’s a breakdown:
-
Regular Kafalat Payment: Rs. 13,500
-
Pending or Missed Payments: Rs. 13,500 (if applicable)
-
Children’s Education Support (Waseela-e-Taleem): Rs. 2,000 per child
A woman who qualifies for all these payments could receive up to Rs. 24,500 in one visit.
What You Need to Bring
To make sure there are no problems at the JazzCash retailer, you must take the following documents with you:
-
Your original CNIC (identity card)
-
A mobile number registered with BISP
-
A confirmation SMS from 8171
-
(Optional) Any old payment slip if available
Without these, the agent may not be able to process your payment.
