What is a Benazir (BISP) Sahulat Account?
Benazir income support program Sahulat Account is a simple bank account that will be used to transfer your BISP payments directly to you. This account is part of the Digital Payment Reform program started by the Government of Pakistan. It is designed to stop fraud, delays, and commissions that many families faced in the past.
Instead of going to long lines or agents, now you can withdraw cash from ATMs, retail shops, mobile wallets, or use mobile apps to check your balance. This system is secure, fast, and most importantly, registered in the name of the female head of the family.
