BISP Launches SIM Distribution Drive for Women Beneficiaries in Muzaffargarh (2026 Update)
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially started a SIM distribution initiative in Muzaffargarh, aimed at empowering registered women beneficiaries through secure and direct communication. This step is part of BISP’s broader digital reforms for 2026, focusing on transparency, biometric verification, and smoother payment delivery.
Under this initiative, eligible women enrolled in BISP 8171 and Ehsaas Kafalat are being provided SIM cards registered in their own names. These SIMs will be used for official SMS alerts, payment notifications, verification updates, and complaint tracking, reducing dependence on third parties.

Purpose of SIM Distribution
The main objective is to ensure that BISP beneficiaries receive direct information regarding payments, surveys, and eligibility. Many women previously relied on family members’ phone numbers, which caused delays, misinformation, and fraud risks.
Key Benefits for Women Beneficiaries
| Benefit | Details |
|---|---|
| Direct SMS Alerts | Payment and eligibility updates sent directly |
| Improved Transparency | Reduced chances of fraud or misinformation |
| Faster Verification | CNIC-linked mobile number for system validation |
| Better Complaint Access | Easy tracking of complaints and responses |
| Digital Inclusion | Encourages women’s access to mobile services |
Who Is Eligible for the SIMs?
- Women already registered under BISP 8171
- Active CNIC holders

Guidelines for SIM Collection
Women beneficiaries must follow these steps to receive their SIM:

⚠️ The SIM is strictly for BISP-related use and must not be transferred.
Why This Initiative Matters in 2026
With expanding digital payment systems and stricter verification policies, having a CNIC-linked mobile number has become essential. This initiative strengthens women’s control over financial information and ensures timely Rs.13,500 payment updates without delays.
Conclusion
The launch of SIM distribution in Muzaffargarh marks a significant step toward women-centric digital empowerment under BISP. By ensuring direct access to official communication, the program enhances transparency, security, and ease for beneficiaries—setting a strong example for future nationwide rollout in 2026.
