BISP is introducing biometric based payment system in Multan, Mianwali, Mirpur Khas and Sanghar for beneficiaries to draw their funds, said Mr Naeem Anwar, director general, BISP Sindh. BISP awards financial support of Rs4,700 to 5.3 million beneficiaries on quarterly basis via Benazir Debit Card (BDC), diverting the payment system to biometrics will eradicate the role of middleman, he said. Many BISP beneficiaries were illiterate and were unable to operate ATMs, for this simple task, some people charge a fee from beneficiaries, he added. The biometric system will allow beneficiaries to draw their sums from ATMs without any hassle. The beneficiaries would be able to draw the amount by using their CNIC along with biometrics.
