Many low-income families in Pakistan rely on the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) for financial assistance. But if you’re one of the thousands of people who have noticed unfair deductions from your BISP payments, you’re not alone. The sad truth is, this problem is happening far too often. Agents and middlemen sometimes illegally cut amounts from what you’re supposed to receive under the BISP 8171 Kafalat or Taleemi Wazaif programs.
But here’s the good news: you can fight back. You have the right to report these deductions and claim the full amount that’s rightfully yours.
This guide is here to make sure you know exactly how to do it, step by step—no confusion, no stress. Let’s get into it.

Why Are BISP Deductions Happening?
Let’s call it what it is: fraud. Some local agents or even shopkeepers cut payments and take a portion for themselves. That’s not only illegal, it’s completely against BISP rules.
Here’s why this happens:
-
Lack of awareness: Many people don’t know their rights, so they don’t report it.
-
Fear of retaliation: Some beneficiaries worry about losing future payments.
-
Weak enforcement: Although BISP has strict rules, it takes time to catch these fraudsters.
The government is working to improve this situation. They’ve set up complaint systems and are punishing those responsible when complaints are verified.
