Why Biometric Verification Is Important
The government uses biometric verification to make sure only the real beneficiary gets the money. It prevents fraud and ensures transparency.
🧾 You’ll need to scan your thumb or fingers before the payment is handed over.
Can Someone Else Collect My Payment?
No, for this phase, only you can collect the money. A relative, friend, or even your child can’t take it for you. This is to avoid misuse and ensure safety.
How Often Will Payments Be Made?
The Kafalat payments are made quarterly (every 3 months). You can expect new installments every season if you remain eligible.
Make sure to keep your BISP profile updated to avoid delays.
What If I Face a Problem at the Camp Site?
If something goes wrong—your data doesn’t match, there’s a deduction, or the system rejects you—don’t worry.
🛠️ Here’s What You Can Do:
