Pakistan Post Office launches cash distribution for women

The Pakistan Post Office has started holding special local meetings to give financial aid to women from low-income families.

These meetings are for women already registered in government programs like the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). The aim is to make it easy, safe, and quick for women to get their money.

Why Are These Meetings Important?

For many women—especially those in villages—getting government help is not easy. They often face:

• Long travel to banks.

• Waiting in long lines.

• Problems with missing documents.

These local meetings solve these issues by bringing the process closer to them.

• Money is given nearby – no long travel.
• Staff explain everything face-to-face.
• Safe and organized process.

Who Can Get Help?

These meetings are for:

• Women registered in BISP.

• Widows or single mothers who qualify for government aid.

• Women without bank accounts or ATM cards.

If you’re unsure, visit your local post office or talk to a BISP worker.

How Do the Meetings Work?

1. Announcement of Dates
   Post offices share the date and time through SMS, mosque announcements, or notices in schools and clinics.

2. Bring Documents
   Women should bring:

   • Original CNIC (identity card).

   • BISP card or confirmation SMS if they have one.

3. Name Check
   Staff check names on the government list.

4. Get Your Money
   Once verified, women receive their cash. No extra fees.

5. Help Desk
   Staff help answer questions or guide women for future payments.

How Does This Benefit Women?

• Faster payments – no more long delays.
• Nearby collection – no need to travel far.
• Clear and simple process.
• Women control their money directly.

This step is making a big difference for families in need, helping women feel supported and independent.
