Benazir Kafalat Program New Payment Details
The Benazir Kafalat Program has recently streamlined the process for distributing payments. Beneficiaries will now receive SMS notifications from 8171 once their payment is ready. Upon receiving the message, they need to visit designated campsites, which are set up in different schools and local centers, where they can verify their identity using fingerprint scanning. This verification ensures transparency and prevents fraud.
In addition to collecting payments at camps, eligible individuals can also receive their stipend directly through partner banks like Habib Bank or MobiCash stores.
