Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I seeing Rs. 24,000 in my BISP account?
The Rs. 24,000 balance typically represents accumulated funds from previous uncollected installments combined with current payments. It may also include educational stipends (Taleemi Wazaif) if you have eligible school-aged children registered in the program.
