BISP Wallet SIM Launch – Beneficiaries Can Now Receive Payments Through Digital SIM

BISP has started issuing free BISP Wallet SIMs to enrolled beneficiaries. Once activated, these SIMs link to a Social Protection Wallet – the new way to receive BISP payments directly, securely, and transparently. Here’s what every beneficiary needs to know in plain language.

What is the BISP Wallet SIM?

The Wallet SIM is a free mobile SIM distributed by BISP that activates your Social Protection Wallet. This wallet acts like a secure digital account: future BISP instalments, alerts and official messages will be sent to and accessed through this SIM.

Why it matters: no more middlemen, fewer delays, and clearer payment records for beneficiaries.

Who can get a Wallet SIM?

• Registered BISP beneficiaries (women primarily) are eligible.

• Priority is given to those who already appear in BISP records and have a valid CNIC.

If you aren’t sure about eligibility, check your status by sending your CNIC to 8171 or visit your local BISP office.

How to get and activate your Wallet SIM — simple steps

1. Visit your nearest BISP office or designated distribution camp.

2. Bring your original CNIC and an active mobile phone.

3. Complete biometric verification at the counter.

4. Receive the free SIM on the spot. BISP staff will help activate it.

5. Keep the SIM safe — all future payment alerts will come on this number.

Important: the SIM is free. Do not pay anyone for activation or assistance.

Key benefits for beneficiaries

• Direct transfers with less chance of deductions.

• Instant notifications when funds are released.

• Better record-keeping of payments and balances.

• Greater financial control for women receiving support.

Safety tips — avoid scams

• Only collect the SIM from official BISP counters or announced camps.

• Never give your CNIC photo, biometric data, or OTP to strangers.

• BISP staff will never ask for money to issue or activate the SIM.

• If a stranger offers activation for a fee, report them to the nearest BISP office.

What to do if you face problems

• If your SIM isn’t activated immediately, ask staff for a receipt and tracking reference.

• If payments don’t arrive after activation, re-check your CNIC status via 8171 and then visit the BISP office with your receipt.

• Keep all paperwork until your wallet shows the first transaction.

Quick FAQ

Q: Will all future BISP payments use this wallet?
A: That is the plan — BISP is moving to digital wallets to make payments more reliable and transparent.

Q: Is there a deadline to collect the free SIM?
A: Check announcements from your local BISP office for any collection deadlines or camp schedules.

Q: Can someone else collect the SIM on my behalf?
A: No. Biometric verification requires the beneficiary to be present.

Bottom line

The BISP Wallet SIM is a practical shift toward faster, safer cash assistance. If you are a BISP beneficiary, visit your nearest BISP center, bring your CNIC and phone, and collect the free SIM as soon as possible to ensure uninterrupted payments and clearer records.
