Strict Action Against POS Agents Deducting Money For BISP Beneficaries
The process of Money deduction by POS Agents has been going on for many years and several crackdowns have also been made against them by the BISP team as stated:
“The crackdown operations against bank agents who are involved in deductions from beneficiaries’ cash stipends are being carried out with full force,“
The Biometric Verification System (BVS), a new payment method introduced by BISP in 2019, required beneficiaries to biometrically validate their thumb impressions before collecting their funds via a nationwide network of POS agents and ATMs run by BISP partner institutions. But Since then many complaints from the Beneficaries have been registered that stated POS Agents deducting money from eligible and poor ladies. Therefore in a recent interview with the media team, Rubina Khalid has announced that strict action will be taken against all the culprits and this will not continue any further.
Solution for the Unauthorized Payment Deduction By Bank Agents
Senator Rubina Khalid, the chair of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), declared on Tuesday that the program will collaborate with 6 additional banks to improve the payment procedure under its new payment model to reduce complaints regarding POS agents.
The program only used two banks, and their contracts had expired several years prior. However, this expansion also makes it possible for more banks to provide their services, which will boost openness. This big change was made by the Benazir Income Support program to help beneficiaries more effectively and make the distribution of Payments more transparent.
Faster and More Convenient G2P Payments with RAAST Integration
In addition to the solutions mentioned above, we plan to integrate with RAAST, Pakistan’s first government-backed Micro-Payment Gateway designed for Government-to-Person (G2P) payments. This means you’ll be able to receive your payments directly using your CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) and withdraw the money from any bank branch across the country. This will make receiving G2P payments faster and more convenient than ever before.
BISP April To June Payments Through Campsites
Before the campsites were established, beneficiaries faced numerous challenges in receiving their BISP payments. Sometimes, payments would end up at small retail shops without adequate seating or water facilities. This meant beneficiaries had to endure long waits, even during hot summers.
The Benazir Income Support Program shifted from retail shops to campsites for payment distribution to address these issues. These BISP campsites now provide all necessary amenities for beneficiaries. Women, in particular, express great satisfaction with the quick and dignified payment process at these sites, addressing their most common concerns about the program.
Conclusion
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) acknowledges the challenges beneficiaries have faced with POS agent deductions. We are committed to ensuring fair and efficient delivery of your assistance. The program has taken significant steps, including expanding partnerships with banks and exploring RAAST integration, to eliminate unauthorized deductions and make the process more convenient. We are confident these measures, alongside continued action against rogue agents, will ensure you receive your full BISP amount with dignity and ease.
