In a bold and transformative step, the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has officially approved Easypaisa and JazzCash as digital payment channels from August 2025. This development marks an important milestone in Pakistan’s journey towards financial inclusion, modernizing the way government welfare payments are distributed to millions of low-income beneficiaries across the country.
With this upgrade, BISP aims to improve transparency, efficiency and accessibility, while minimizing payment delays and fraud. From now on, beneficiaries will be able to receive their quarterly payments of Rs. 13,500 directly into their mobile wallets, making it easier to withdraw funds, pay bills and transfer money, all without having to stand in long queues or rely exclusively on designated retail agents or banks.
Why Digital Payments Are a Game-Changer for BISP Beneficiaries
Previously, the disbursement of BISP funds faced numerous challenges such as:
- Long wait times at designated payment centers
- Unofficial deductions by intermediaries
- Limited outreach in remote or underserved areas
The approval of Easypaisa (by Telenor) and JazzCash (by Jazz) addresses these issues head-on. These mobile wallet platforms have wide penetration across Pakistan, including rural districts, offering:
- 24/7 access to funds
- Instant transaction notifications
- Integration with utility and grocery purchases
- Greater control and privacy for female recipients
This shift is especially helpful for women, who are the main recipients under the Benazir Kafaalat initiative. With digital wallets, their payments stay more secure and go directly to them, reducing the need to rely on male intermediaries for access or withdrawal.
