Overview of BISP

The Recovery Initiative from Government Mulazim
Improved Verification Process
Before, BISP used a manual process to check beneficiaries. This was slow and hard.
Now, BISP uses a Dynamic survey. This new system connects directly to various departments. It ensures real-time data submission and verification.
Identification and Recovery Process
Identifying Improper Recipients
The Dynamic survey helps BISP find households where the main earner is a government employee or pensioner.
This includes women getting BISP payments while having government jobs or pensions.
Recovering Improper Payments
When BISP identifies these individuals, they target them to get back the funds they shouldn’t have received.
Data Collection
Data Collection
The Dynamic survey collects data and links it to various departments.
Identification
Households with government employees or pensioners are identified.
Recovery Initiation
The Ministry of Finance asks the FIA to start the recovery process.
Provincial governments and local departments are informed.
Notice Issuance
Regular notices are sent to identified individuals. These notices detail the amount to be recovered.
Deduction
Once identification is confirmed, the recovery amount is deducted from the salaries of the identified individuals.
Actions Taken
BISP, with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and provincial governments, takes strong actions against government Mulazim misusing the program.
Verification and Identification
After verifying the data and identifying the individuals, recovery notices are sent.
Transparent Recovery Process
Notices are sent to the government departments where the individuals work. This makes sure the recovery process is clear and fair.
Cases of Government School Teachers
Many identified cases involve government school teachers who received BISP payments while employed.
These teachers have been sent recovery notices, and the recovery amounts are being deducted from their salaries.
Recovery Statistics from Government Employees

Future Implications and Measures
Improved Data Accuracy
The Dynamic survey links data directly with various departments.
This ensures real-time updates and reduces errors or misuse.
Enhanced Accountability
Involving the FIA and provincial governments in the recovery process holds the government of Mulazim accountable for fund misuse.
This helps maintain public trust in welfare programs.
Strengthened Welfare Programs
Ensuring only eligible individuals receive aid allows BISP to focus on the most vulnerable segments of society.
This targeted approach makes the program more effective and strengthens the social safety net.
