He said BISP awards financial support of Rs 4,700 to more than 1.8 million beneficiaries of Sindh on quarterly basis via Benazir Debit Card (BDC), diverting the payment system to biometrics will eradicate the role of middleman.
Many BISP beneficiaries were illiterate and were unable to operate ATMs, for this simple task, some people charge a fee from beneficiaries, he added. The beneficiaries would be able to draw the amount by using their CNIC along with biometrics at particular OMNI or EASY PAISA SHOPS.
