Payment Issues and Solutions
Despite the effective distribution process, some beneficiaries have reported issues, including:
- Zero Balance Issue: Some women found zero balance in their accounts despite being eligible.
- Delayed Payments: In certain districts, payments are delayed.
- Technical Glitches: Technical issues at camp sites have caused delays.
To address these problems, BISP has taken the following steps:
- Verifying the registration status of all beneficiaries.
- Improving the technical infrastructure at camp sites to prevent future issues.
Improvements to the 8171 Web Portal
The 8171 Web Portal, which beneficiaries use to check eligibility and payment status, has been significantly updated. Now, users can easily view their eligibility and payment details.
New Payment Methods and Future Plans
BISP has introduced new methods to improve fund distribution, such as payments through Jazz Cash. By January 2025, ATMs from six new banks will also dispense BISP payments, making access to funds more convenient.
