So, here’s the latest update for all those who receive assistance from the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) — the payments have been paused for a short time. Yep, just for two days. Nothing too serious, but still, it’s important to know why it’s happening.
According to BISP officials, this temporary break in payments is due to a technical update happening in the payment system. The government is trying to fix some internal glitches and make the system smoother and more secure, especially after some complaints from beneficiaries. So, while it’s a bit inconvenient for now, it’s all being done to improve things in the long run.
