What Is the BISP Cluster Distribution System?

Every district in Pakistan is divided into clusters.

Each cluster is assigned a specific bank or mobile wallet.

Beneficiaries receive payments according to a district-wise schedule.
This ensures that beneficiaries can collect payments without crowding, receive timely transfers, and enjoy full transparency throughout the process.
📢 The government expects this new model to eliminate illegal deductions, reduce waiting times, and improve security for all registered women.
