Benazir Income Support Program Announced to Open Bank Accounts For Beneficiaries From 14th August
Benazir Income Support Program Digital Bank Accounts
An important step has been taken by the Federal Minister for Benazir Income Support Program, Rubina Khalid, that now the bank accounts of BISP beneficiaries will be opened. BISP provides financial assistance to women, but sometimes their amount is deducted, due to which women have to face a lot of trouble. That is why BISP is introducing a digital banking system so that all beneficiaries can be given money through banks.
BISP has started this initiative that first the bank accounts of about two lakh women will be opened and the money will be given to them through the account. If this pilot project is successful, then money will be released to all women through this project. This will benefit women so that they will not have to face any kind of problem.
They will be able to get money in their account sitting at home. If you are not yet registered in the Benazir Income Support Program, then get your registration done as soon as possible so that you can get Benazir Financial assistance can be provided through the Income Support Program and you can also be added to the digital banking system.
Why Bank Accounts Are Being Opened for BISP Beneficiaries
For years, Benazir Income Support Program has been providing cash assistance to low-income women, but many beneficiaries reported unauthorized deductions or were forced to pay middlemen to access their money. The new digital banking initiative ensures that financial aid will be directly deposited into a woman’s personal bank account, giving her full control over her funds.
This change also brings an end to long waiting hours at payment centers and the risks of not receiving the full payment. Instead of relying on agents or physical cash distribution, women will now have secure, private access to their funds via ATM or mobile banking apps.
Pilot Project Starting From 14th August 2025
The initiative will begin as a pilot project in select areas. In the first phase, bank accounts of nearly 200,000 women will be opened. These accounts will be linked to their CNIC and mobile numbers, ensuring security and ease of access.
If the pilot project runs successfully, the digital banking system will be extended to all BISP beneficiaries across Pakistan. This phased approach will allow the government to monitor and resolve any issues before full-scale implementation.
