1. Understanding the BISP 10,500 Payment

The current payment of Rs. 10,500 is part of the government’s initiative to combat inflation and support the most vulnerable segments of society. This relief amount is specifically earmarked for:

• Widows and Orphans: Ensuring the most vulnerable have a basic food security net.

• Elderly Citizens: Providing support for those who can no longer participate in the active workforce.

• Persons with Disabilities (PWDs): Helping cover medical and accessibility costs.

• Transgender Community: Encouraging social inclusion through financial aid.

Why JazzCash?

By integrating with JazzCash, the BISP program allows users to receive a notification on their mobile phones the moment the funds are released. This eliminates the need for repeated trips to bank retailers or BISP offices just to check the balance.

2. Eligibility Criteria: Who Qualifies?

To ensure that the funds reach the truly deserving, the BISP management uses a strict Proxy Means Test (PMT) score. To qualify for the Rs. 10,500 payment through JazzCash, applicants must meet the following standards:

• National Identity: You must be a legal citizen of Pakistan with a valid Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC).

• Socio-Economic Status: You must belong to a household classified as “impoverished.”

• Income Threshold: The total monthly household income should not exceed Rs. 30,000.

• Poverty Score: Your PMT (Poverty) score must be below 40. This score is determined during the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) survey.

• Exclusivity: You should not be a beneficiary of other major overlapping government financial aid programs.

• Asset Ownership: The applicant should not own more than five acres of agricultural land or significant commercial property.

• Clean Record: The applicant must not be involved in any illegal activities or have a criminal record.

3. Required Documentation for Registration

Before visiting a BISP tehsil office, ensure you have the following original documents and their photocopies ready:

1. Original CNIC: The primary document for verification.

2. Registered Mobile Number: The SIM card must be registered in the applicant’s own name.

3. Children’s B-Form: Essential for calculating family size and eligibility for additional educational stipends (Taleemi Wazaif).

4. Utility Bills: Recent electricity or gas bills to verify the residential address and household consumption patterns.

5. Address Proof: Your current residential address must be accurate to ensure you are linked to the nearest payment center.

4. The Step-by-Step Application Process

If you have not yet registered or need to update your status to receive the Rs. 10,500 payment, follow these steps:

Step 1: Visit the BISP 8171 Tehsil Office

Locate the nearest BISP registration center. These are usually located at the Tehsil level across all provinces.

Step 3: Form Submission

Obtain the registration form from the counter. Fill in all details accurately, including your CNIC, mobile number, and family details. Double-check your mobile number; this is where you will receive the 8171 SMS notification.

FAQs

1: Can I receive the BISP payment if my JazzCash account is registered on a different CNIC?

If you believe you are eligible but haven’t received an SMS, visit the 8171 Web Portal. Enter your CNIC number to check your status online. If it shows “Eligible” but no payment, visit your local BISP office to ensure your survey data is up to date.

3: How often is the Rs. 10,500 payment distributed?

The Rs. 10,500 payment is typically a quarterly payment (every three months). However, the government may occasionally announce additional emergency relief amounts depending on the economic situation or natural disasters.
