BISP 8171 Wallet Account Pilot Project – Digital Payments for Beneficiaries. The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has taken a major step toward modernizing payment distribution with the launch of the 8171 Wallet Account Pilot Project. This new initiative, starting in Sukkur, Hyderabad, and Rahim Yar Khan, ensures that payments are delivered directly into digital wallet accounts linked with a beneficiary’s CNIC and mobile SIM.
For millions of poor women across Pakistan, this marks a historic shift toward digital financial inclusion offering them safety, transparency, and independence in receiving their stipends.

Key Highlights of the Pilot Project
- Pilot Districts: Sukkur, Hyderabad, Rahim Yar Khan

Why BISP Introduced Wallet Accounts
Previously, BISP payments were distributed at campsites or through agents, which often caused:
- Long queues and unnecessary travel costs
- Unfair deductions by agents from payments
- Frequent disbursement delays
- Cases of fraud and mismanagement
With wallet accounts, beneficiaries now enjoy:
- Direct transfer of full payments into their accounts
- 24/7 access to funds from ATMs and JazzCash agents
- No deductions or middlemen involved
- Security through CNIC + biometric verification
- Ease and dignity in accessing money anytime

How the Wallet Account Pilot Works
The system is simple and structured:
- Free SIM Distribution – JazzCash provides 1.3 million free SIMs.
- Linking with CNIC – Each SIM is registered against the beneficiary’s CNIC.
- Automatic Wallet Creation – As soon as the SIM is activated, a wallet account is created.
- Payment Transfer – BISP installments (Rs. 13,500 in 2025) are deposited directly.
- Cash Withdrawal – Beneficiaries can withdraw money from JazzCash agents, ATMs, or (in future) partner banks like HBL Konnect.
Benefits for BISP Beneficiaries

- Network issues – Rural areas often have weak mobile coverage.
- Fraud awareness – Beneficiaries must be trained not to share PINs or OTPs.
- SIM distribution scale – Delivering 1.3 million SIMs smoothly is a big task.
