Digital Wallet Instructions for Women Beneficiaries
During the live E-Kacheri, Senator Rubina Khalid addressed the importance of digital wallets in distributing BISP funds efficiently. She instructed women who have not yet received a free SIM card for accessing their digital wallets to immediately contact the nearest BISP office.
