Hey! If you’re a beneficiary of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), the BISP Wallet Account September Update is really good news for you. Starting at the end of September, they will begin opening wallet accounts yourself by going to your nearest BISP office. Once your wallet account is opened, payments will be transferred into it automatically. This guide will explain everything: how, when, who, what documents, why, and what to watch out for. For latest updates and official notices, visit the Benazir Income Support Programme official website.
1. What is the BISP Wallet Account
A wallet account (digital wallet) under BISP is a way for beneficiaries to receive their payments directly into a digital money account rather than cash or other methods. You can think of it like a bank account in your phone, but maybe simpler.
- It is under the Benazir Income Support Programme.
- The government / BISP will open these accounts at BISP offices.
- Once opened, payments are transferred into that account.
2. Why the September Update Matters
Because of this update:
- You don’t have to wait for another announcement; opening starts at the end of September.
- The wallet account is opened nearby — your nearest BISP office — so you won’t have to travel far.
- Once your account is opened, payments will come automatically into it, so no delays or extra steps.
- It makes things safer, faster, more transparent.
3. Who is Eligible
If you are a beneficiary of BISP, you are eligible. That means:
- You are already registered under BISP and getting payments.
- You have your CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card).
- You live near a BISP office which will be serving this wallet account opening process.
If you aren’t yet a beneficiary, or if your registration is under review, you might need to complete that first.
4. When and Where the Accounts Will Be Opened
- When: Starting from the last week of September. That means, late September. Specific day might depend on your district.
- Where: At the BISP office nearest to you. BISP will set up counters at the offices to help open the wallets.
Tip: Check with local BISP office in your town/village to find their schedule.
5. Documents / Requirements Needed
To open the wallet account, you usually need:
| Requirement | Details |
| CNIC / National ID | Must be valid and your own. |
| Proof of address | Sometimes required (if office asks). |
| Mobile number | Registered in your name or that you can verify. |
| BISP Beneficiary Registration Info | So they can match you in their system. |
Sometimes extra small things like your photo, some sign, etc., but mostly CNIC and proof that you are a beneficiary. First of all you need to verify your CNIC at NADRA.
