The Government of Pakistan has taken a new step under the Benazir Kafalat Program (BISP) to help poor and deserving women across the country. Due to various technical and verification issues, many beneficiaries had not received their previous installments. Now, the government has announced double payments for these beneficiaries, which can be collected through retailer centers.
In this article, you will learn
- What does the double payment mean
- Who is eligible
- How to collect the payment from a retailer
- Precautions to take
- Where to file complaints if you face any deductions or issues
✅ What Is Double Payment in BISP?
The Benazir Kafalat Double Payment refers to the disbursement of two installments together. Normally, beneficiaries receive a single installment every quarter (three months), but due to technical delays, some women were unable to receive their payments in the last cycle.
Now, if your previous installment was delayed or stuck due to biometric or verification issues, you may receive two installments at once, totaling PKR 21,000 (i.e., PKR 10,500 x 2).
🧾 Who Is Eligible for Double Installment?
The following categories of beneficiaries are eligible to receive the double payment:
- Women whose previous installment was stuck or delayed
- Beneficiaries who have completed biometric verification recently
- Those who have been included in the new BISP eligibility list
- Women who have received an SMS notification from 8171 regarding their installment
Note: Not every beneficiary will receive a double payment. Only those who meet the conditions above will get both installments together.
🏪 How to Collect Double Payment from Retailer Centers?
You can now collect your payment directly from authorized BISP Retailer Centers across Pakistan. Follow these steps:
- Carry your original CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card)
- Visit the nearest BISP-authorized Retailer Center
- The representative will conduct biometric verification
- Once the verification is complete, you will be given your full amount
- Always ask for a printed receipt after receiving your cash
💡 Important Tip:
Make sure that you receive the full amount (PKR 21,000) if you’re eligible for double payment. Retailers are not allowed to deduct any charges.
