Step-by-Step: How to Get Your Free SIM in 10 Minutes
- First check eligibility → Send your CNIC number to 8171 (free SMS)
- You will receive a reply within minutes
- If eligible, go to the nearest camp with original CNIC and any mobile phone
- Give thumb impression on the biometric machine
- The officer will hand you a brand-new free SIM (already registered in your name)
- They will activate your Social Protection Wallet on the spot
- You will get a confirmation SMS — done!
Required Documents + What to Do If Biometric Fails
Must bring:
- Original CNIC (no photocopy)
- A working mobile phone (even an old button phone works)
Biometric fails sometimes (dust, wet fingers, old NADRA record). Don’t worry:
- Ask the camp staff for “cleaning gel” and try again
- If it still fails, they will register you manually and you can collect the SIM the next day after NADRA verification
- Worst case: Visit the nearest NADRA centre the same week and update your fingerprints (free for BISP beneficiaries right now)
How to Activate Social Protection Wallet Instantly
The officer at the camp does everything for you. Within 2–3 minutes you will have:
- A working digital wallet linked to your new SIM
- PIN code sent via SMS
- Ability to receive Rs 13,500 (or higher) directly in the wallet next quarter
- Option to pay utility bills and withdraw cash from HBL/Easypaisa without extra charges
Rs 13,500 Kafalat Payment + New Digital Wallet: When Will You Receive It?
The next quarterly Kafalat payment is expected in the first week of January 2026. Because you now have the digital wallet, money will arrive directly in your phone — no long queues, no deductions, no middlemen.
