POS Agents Deduct Payments From 8171 Beneficiaries: Resolving Complaints
Benazir Kafalat 10500 Payment is distributed through the BISP Campsite by POS agents after a biometric verification under 8171 Ehsaas Program that started in 2008 with 8.3 million beneficiaries.
As of 2019, when payments were first made by agents, many complaints have been filed for POS agents deducting payments for Benazir Kafalat payments of 10500 rupees. There is a pressing need to find a solution, and numerous actions have been taken, in addition to numerous initiatives that are still pending. As a result, this page contains all the information you need to understand the actions taken against POS agents who deduct BISP payments.
Take strict action against POS agents who deduct money from BISP beneficiaries
POS Agents have been deducting money for many years and the BISP team has taken several steps against them, including:
Bank agents involved in deducting cash stipends from beneficiaries are being cracked down on with full force.
In 2019, BISP implemented the Biometric Verification System (BVS) as a new payment method. This involved beneficiaries biometrically verifying their thumb impressions at POS agents and ATMs operated by partner institutions across the country. However, since then, numerous complaints have been received from beneficiaries reporting that POS agents are deducting funds from eligible and impoverished women. In response to this issue, Rubina Khalid stated in a recent interview with the media team that stringent measures will be taken against those responsible and this behavior will not be tolerated any longer.
Solution for the Unauthorized Payment Deduction By Bank Agents
Rubina Khalid, chair of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), announced on Tuesday that the program would collaborate with 6 additional banks to improve payment procedures under its new payment model.
In the previous program, only two banks were used, and their contracts had expired several years prior. However, this expansion will allow more banks to offer their services, which will boost openness. Benazir Income Support program made this big change to make payments more transparent and to help beneficiaries more effectively.
RAAST Integration Makes G2P Payments Faster and More Convenient
As well as the solutions mentioned above, we plan to integrate with RAAST, Pakistan’s first government-backed Micro-Payment Gateway. By using your CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card), you’ll be able to receive your payments directly from any bank branch across the country and withdraw the funds. As a result, receiving G2P payments will become quicker and more convenient than ever.
BISP April To June Payments Through Campsites
It was difficult for beneficiaries to receive their BISP payments before the campsites were established. Often, payments were sent to small retail shops with inadequate seating and water facilities. Even in hot summers, beneficiaries had to endure long waits.
In order to address these issues, the Benazir Income Support Program moved payments from retail shops to campsites. These BISP campsites now provide beneficiaries with all the amenities they need. At these sites, women express great satisfaction with the quick and dignified payment process, which addresses their main concerns.
In conclusion
The BISP recognizes the difficulties beneficiaries have encountered due to POS agent deductions. Our dedication to providing your assistance in a fair and timely manner remains unwavering. To address this issue, we have implemented several measures such as forming new partnerships with banks and investigating RAAST integration. These actions will eliminate any unauthorized deductions and simplify the process for you. Rest assured, we will continue to take action against unscrupulous agents to ensure that you receive your complete BISP amount with dignity and convenience.
