Benazir Kafalat Third Phase Payment
The third phase of the Benazir Kafalat Program payments is now underway. Newly added districts have begun receiving funds, ensuring financial assistance reaches more deserving families. Payments are made in phases to reduce crowding at collection centers and streamline the distribution process. Women in eligible districts can now check their payment status using the 8171 portal or SMS service.
If payments are unavailable, beneficiaries may need to update their NSER Dynamic Survey, a mandatory step to maintain eligibility. The program prioritizes families in dire need and disqualifies those whose financial situation has improved.
Why Payments Are Released in Phases
Releasing payments across the entire country at once would create logistical challenges and inconvenience. To counter this, the Benazir Kafaalat Program distributes funds regionally in phases. This phased approach ensures:
- Reduced overcrowding at cash centers
- Faster and more efficient disbursement
- Minimal disruptions for beneficiaries
The third phase will cover additional districts from Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and Balochistan. Eligible women are urged to act promptly to collect their payments.
Newly Added Districts for Phase 3 Payments
The inclusion of new districts ensures that the program’s benefits reach more marginalized women. The following regions are now covered:
Punjab:
Bahawalnagar, Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan, Dera Ghazi Khan, Layyah, Rajanpur, Faisalabad, Multan, Okara, Sahiwal, and more.
Sindh:
Thatta, Badin, Jamshoro, Sukkur, and Ghotki.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP):
Peshawar, Swat, Mansehra, Shangla, and more.
Balochistan:
Kalat, Lasbela, Khuzdar, Loralai, and Duki.
These additions reflect the government’s commitment to extending support to a broader demographic.
How to Check and Collect Payments
Eligible women can easily check their payment status and collect their funds by following these steps:
Check Eligibility:
- Visit the 8171 portal or send your CNIC number via SMS to 8171.
- If eligible, a confirmation message will provide payment details.
Visit a BISP Cash Center:
- Head to the nearest cash center for biometric verification.
- Upon successful verification, collect your payment.
Update Dynamic Survey:
- If payment is not received, it may indicate an outdated NSER Dynamic Survey.
- Visit the nearest BISP Tehsil Office with your CNIC to update your information.
Importance of the NSER Dynamic Survey
The National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) Dynamic Survey is essential for maintaining program integrity. Conducted every two years, it reassesses beneficiaries’ financial conditions. Here’s why it matters:
- Ensures Eligibility: Aid is provided only to the most deserving.
- Promotes Fairness: Disqualified families make way for others in need.
- Improves Accuracy: Keeps beneficiary data up-to-date for effective program delivery.
Beneficiaries are encouraged to update their survey information promptly to avoid disqualification.
Conclusion
The inclusion of new districts in the third phase of the Benazir Kafaalat Program underscores the government’s commitment to supporting underprivileged women. Eligible beneficiaries should check their payment status and collect their funds without delay. For those requiring updates to their NSER Dynamic Survey, visiting a BISP Tehsil Office is crucial to ensure continued support. This program remains a lifeline for millions, paving the way for financial stability and poverty alleviation.
