BISP beneficiaries get final chance as Benazir SIM deadline nears
Final chance to collect Benazir SIM
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has given beneficiary women a final opportunity to collect their free Benazir SIM. Women who have not received the SIM are advised to visit their nearest BISP office as soon as possible.
Beneficiaries should take their original Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) and mobile phone with them. The SIM will be provided and activated at the BISP office through a representative of the relevant mobile phone company.
What beneficiaries need to do
BISP Chairperson Senator Rubina Khalid has urged all eligible women to collect their free Benazir SIM before the September 30, 2026 deadline. She stressed that beneficiaries should complete the process on time to avoid possible problems with their stipend payments.
The SIM will be activated at the BISP office by the mobile company representative. Beneficiaries have also been advised to ask BISP staff to insert the SIM into their mobile phones during collection.
Why the Benazir SIM is important
According to the BISP spokesperson, women who do not collect their Benazir SIM may face difficulties receiving their stipend payments. The warning makes the deadline especially important for beneficiaries who have not yet completed the process.
BISP has advised eligible women not to delay their visit to the nearest office. Completing the SIM process before the deadline can help avoid disruption in receiving payments.
Deadline set for September 30
The final deadline for collecting the free Benazir SIM is September 30, 2026. Women who are still waiting to receive their SIM should complete the process before the deadline.
Beneficiaries should carry their original CNIC and mobile phone when visiting the BISP office. They should also follow the instructions of BISP staff during the SIM collection and activation process.
