Where and How to Collect Your BISP Kafalat July 2025 Payment
Once your status is confirmed by an SMS from 8171, you can proceed to collect your Rs. 13,500 payment. BISP has enhanced its payment distribution methods for greater convenience and security:
- Authorized JazzCash and HBL Konnect Retailers: These are local shops or kiosks equipped with biometric verification systems. This is the most common and recommended method.
- Designated BISP Campsites: Special payment camps are set up in various localities, particularly in remote or underserved areas, to facilitate collections. These camps are often set up in government schools or community halls.
- Partner Bank Branches (HBL or Bank Alfalah): In some regions, payments can be collected directly from designated branches of these partner banks.
- HBL ATMs: In selected major cities, beneficiaries may also be able to withdraw their BISP payments directly from HBL ATMs using biometric verification.
- New Option: JazzCash and Easypaisa Wallets: In some areas, BISP has introduced the option to receive payments directly into verified JazzCash or Easypaisa mobile wallets. Beneficiaries must link their CNIC to a verified mobile account and complete biometric verification at a designated franchise to activate this.
Documents and Requirements for Collection:
- Original Valid CNIC: This is absolutely mandatory. Ensure your CNIC is not expired.
- Biometric Verification (Thumb Impression): Your thumb impression will be required at the collection point to verify your identity. This is a crucial step to prevent fraud.
- Confirmation SMS (Optional but Recommended): While not strictly required, having the SMS from 8171 confirming your payment can expedite the process.
Crucial Advice During Collection:
- No Deductions Allowed: The Rs. 13,500 BISP payment is completely free. No agent, bank staff, or middleman is authorized to deduct any amount from your payment. If anyone tries to charge you, refuse and immediately report them to the BISP helpline at 0800-26477.
- Get a Receipt: Always insist on a printed receipt after collecting your payment. This serves as your official proof of transaction.
- Your Presence is Mandatory: The beneficiary must be physically present for biometric verification. No one else can collect the payment on your behalf.
- Count Your Money: Count the entire Rs. 13,500 before leaving the payment counter to ensure you’ve received the full amount.
Important Points for Beneficiaries
- Dynamic Survey (NSER Registration): If you haven’t completed or updated your NSER survey recently, or if there have been changes in your family’s circumstances, visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office. Regular updates ensure continued eligibility.
- Taleemi Wazaif Attendance: For children receiving educational stipends, ensure they maintain a minimum of 70% school attendance. This is strictly monitored, and failure to meet the requirement can lead to suspension of stipends.
- Stay Vigilant Against Scams: Only trust official BISP communication channels. Be wary of any calls, messages, or individuals asking for your personal details, PINs, or money for BISP services.
- Fingerprint Issues: If your fingerprints fail during biometric verification, try cleaning your fingers, using another finger, or visit a NADRA center to update your fingerprints. You can then try again at a BISP payment point or Tehsil Office.
