Important Updates
For those beneficiaries who cannot complete their registration online, BISP has also provided them with the facility of completing offline registration. Therefore, all such beneficiaries who wish to submit their application should immediately visit the nearest BISP Tehsil office with all their necessary documents. And complete their registration process by providing all their necessary documents to the representative present there. One thing must be remembered here: if you want to complete the registration of any member of your family, then you will also need all their necessary documents, such as ID card number, mobile number, etc.
Because many beneficiaries believe that if they become a part of this program, they may have to lose the financial assistance and other benefits received from BISP. Therefore, let me clarify for the guidance of all such beneficiaries that this is not the case. All beneficiaries who complete their registration process within the Benazir Hunarmand program will not lose their financial assistance and other benefits.
