How to Report Illegal Fee Deductions by Retail Agents

BISP cash disbursements are strictly 100% free of charge. Retail agents are paid directly by the government and are strictly forbidden from deducting fees (e.g., Rs. 500 or Rs. 1,000) from beneficiary payments. If an agent attempts to deduct money:

1. Demand your full printed transaction receipt showing the total disbursed amount.
2. Note down the agent’s Shop Name, Agent ID, and POS machine number.
3. Immediately call the official BISP Toll-Free Helpline at 0800-26477 to lodge an official complaint.
4. Visit your local BISP Tehsil Complaints Desk to submit a written grievance for agent blocking and fee refund.
