• Introduction of BISP Campsites:To ensure beneficiaries receive their payments without undue hardship, BISP established 587 campsites nationwide. These campsites are equipped with necessary facilities and are strategically located to serve beneficiaries effectively. This initiative was particularly beneficial in addressing issues faced by those residing in remote areas.

Beneficiaries can now check their payment status and eligibility by sending an SMS to the official number, 8171. This system provides timely updates and reduces confusion among recipients.
  

• Strengthening Fraud Prevention Measures: To protect beneficiaries from fraudulent activities, Dr. Rubina Khalid emphasized the importance of trusting only messages received from the official number, 8171. She urged beneficiaries to visit designated payment centers and report any discrepancies or unethical behavior by staff.
