Payment Deadline
Attention all Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) beneficiaries in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK): Friday, August 9, 2024, is the crucial deadline to claim your payments for the April-June period. After this date, payments will be suspended, and any unclaimed funds will be returned to the banks. This article provides a detailed update on this urgent matter and explains what it means for you.
What is BISP Kafalat?
The Benazir Kafalat program is part of the broader BISP initiative, which provides financial support to low-income families and individuals. Beneficiaries receive payments to help cover their basic needs and improve their quality of life. The payment amount for the April-June period is Rs 10,500.
Deadline for Payment Collection
The final day for collecting the Kafalat payments for the April-June quarter is Friday, August 9, 2024. After this deadline, payments will no longer be available for collection, and the funds will be returned to the banks.
Notice from KPK Director General
Message from Zohra Aslam
KPK Director General Zohra Aslam has issued a video message emphasizing the urgency of the situation. She urged all eligible beneficiaries to collect their payments before the deadline. After August 9, any unclaimed funds will be returned to the banks, and beneficiaries who miss this date will lose their payment.
Impact of the Deadline
The suspension of payments affects only the April-June quarter. Future payments will continue as planned, but under a new agreement and increased amount of Rs 12,500.
Reason for Payment Suspension in KPK
Contract Expiry
The suspension is due to the expiration of the contract between the government and the bank responsible for processing payments for the April-June period. A new contract will be established with other banks for future payments, which will change the payment process.
New Payment Process
Once the new agreement is in place, beneficiaries will receive payments through a CNIC 8171 cheque system, which aims to streamline the process and ensure better accessibility.
Impact on Other Provinces
Payments in Sindh, Punjab, and Balochistan
The contract termination and payment suspension apply exclusively to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Beneficiaries in Sindh, Punjab, and Balochistan will continue to receive their payments as scheduled. There are no changes or suspensions for these provinces.
Continuity of Payments
Beneficiaries in other provinces should not be concerned about disruptions to their payments. The issue is confined to KPK, and normal payment procedures will continue elsewhere.
