Chairperson BISP Senator Rubina Khalid holds live e-katcheri session

ISLAMABAD, Jan 28 (SABAH): Chairperson Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), Senator Rubina Khalid, held a live e-katcheri session today through the official Facebook account of BISP. The session lasted for one hour and 10 minutes, during which 35 callers across the country reached out to share their problems directly with the Chairperson. Senator Rubina Khalid instructed her staff to resolve all issues and complaints on a priority basis.

During the session, Senator Rubina Khalid emphasized that registration in the Benazir Income Support Programme is completely free of cost. She clarified that there is no survey fee and urged participants to report anyone asking for money under the name of BISP, as such claims are fraudulent.

The Chairperson explained that once a survey is conducted, households cannot be resurveyed before a period of two years. She advised against repeated requests for surveys or visiting BISP centers unnecessarily, as it only causes undue inconvenience.

Senator Rubina Khalid warned beneficiaries not to trust any messages or calls coming from numbers other than 8171, as they are fraudulent. She urged people to report such activities immediately.

The Chairperson appealed to deserving women to ensure they receive the full amount of their payments. She advised them to report any deductions by calling the BISP Helpline at 0800-26477 or visiting the nearest BISP office.

Senator Rubina Khalid praised individuals who voluntarily identify themselves as ineligible for BISP assistance. She described such actions as commendable and encouraged more people to follow suit to ensure that aid reaches those who truly deserve it.

The Chairperson reassured participants that strict action will be taken against anyone found involved in fraudulent activities or deductions.
