What’s New: District List & Digital Vault Accounts

BISP’s latest announcement outlines the selected districts in which camp centres will be set up to open what are called vault accounts—digital accounts designed for beneficiaries to receive payments via mobile-linked services. These accounts introduce PIN-protected transactions, mobile alerts and biometric verification, significantly modernising the payment process for the Kafalat programme. The goal is to make financial support not only faster but also more transparent, while cutting down on agent commissions and cash-based risks.Crucially, the programme clarifies that previous claims about the district Dera Ghazi Khan (DG Khan) being part of this rollout were incorrect and not issued by BISP. Beneficiaries should rely only on verified official channels for updates.

SIM Distribution Begins – What You Should Know

The next phase of the rollout: from 17 November 2025, camp centres will begin issuing SIM cards to eligible women in the designated districts. The SIM is linked directly to the beneficiary’s vault account and is used for authentication, transaction alerts and future messaging from BISP. At the camp, beneficiaries will undergo biometric verification, receive their SIM, and receive guidance on activation.This process supports the BISP mission of ensuring payments are digital, secure and tailored for the female welfare-recipient demographic. Women are advised to attend their district-wise camp on time, bringing all relevant documents and cooperating fully with verification staff.

At the camp you will undergo a biometric check (fingerprint / thumbprint) to verify identity and match it to NADRA records.After verification, you will be issued a SIM linked to your vault account. Follow the instructions provided at the camp to activate your mobile-linked account.Once you receive your SIM and verification slip, store them safely. Do not share your PIN, CNIC or account-details with anyone. Keep your mobile number active until your first payment and alerts are received.

How to Avoid Misinformation

Recently some unverified WhatsApp forwards claimed camp sites in DG Khan were active under this vault-account scheme—BISP has publicly refuted these claims. It is extremely important for beneficiaries to rely only on the programme’s official channels, such as:

The official BISP website & verified social-media pages.
Nearest BISP help-desk or camp centre.
The official helpline number.
Avoid trusting forwarded messages from unofficial groups, Facebook posts or private WhatsApp chains—they may lead to confusion or hardship.

Preparation Tips Before Visiting the Camp

Arrive early on your scheduled district date; large attendance is expected.
Carry original CNIC, photocopies, your mobile phone and anything else you may need while waiting.
Bring a water bottle, any necessary medicines or personal comfort items—they may be waiting for a while.
When issued the SIM and verification slip, keep them in a safe place and activate promptly.
Avoid crowds near the verification desk; use your token or queue number and follow instructions kindly.

What Happens After Activation

Once your SIM and vault account are activated, your information is entered into BISP’s secure digital system. You will receive an SMS alert confirming account creation, followed by notifications about payment cycles, account status, future instructions and official updates. Payments will thereafter be directly deposited into your mobile-linked account, reducing the need for cash pickup or agent-assisted collection.If you don’t receive an alert or payment within the expected timeframe, contact the BISP helpline or visit your local camp centre for support. Do not change your registered mobile number until BISP confirms you are fully activated to avoid missing alerts.
