BISP Announces Free SIM Cards for Women

News Desk
ISLAMABAD: The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has issued a crucial directive regarding the distribution of free SIM cards and the opening of dedicated social protection wallets for registered female beneficiaries across the country.
The initiative aims to streamline financial assistance delivery, ensuring transparency and direct access to stipends for millions of vulnerable households.
According to the official announcement, registered beneficiaries can now acquire their designated free SIM cards and activate their digital wallets through authorized channels. This administrative upgrade is designed to eliminate intermediaries and curb potential financial discrepancies, aligning with the federal government’s broader vision of digitizing the national economy and enhancing social safety net operations.
The integration of digital wallets is expected to significantly empower marginalized women by providing them with secure, autonomous control over their financial resources.
Economists note that expanding digital financial inclusion among rural and low-income demographics fosters greater economic resilience, encouraging broader participation in formal banking structures.
Beneficiaries have been advised to follow official BISP guidelines and visit designated registration centers to complete the necessary verification procedures. Authorities are expected to release further instructions and helpline details in the coming days to assist citizens with the transition.
