Zakat & Usher Department of Sindh provided a complete list of Guzara Allowance beneficiaries with their eligibility criteria to NTL. NTL verified the list through the Nadra CNIC database and provided a cleansed database that was then used for beneficiary enrolment and disbursement.
"Each beneficiary will receive Zakat through biometric verification, ensuring a fair method of disbursement to the deserving beneficiary," Nadra spokesperson said. She further said that e-Sahulat outlets were ready to disburse cash for any government or corporate entity.
Divulging the details of the project, the spokesperson said, "The project has been divided in two phases, enrolment and disbursement. In the first phase, the Zakat Mushtahiqeen are enrolled with Nadra's system to receive the Benazir Muawanat card. Each Zakat Mustahiq is mobilised through local district Zakat committees and sent to Nadra NRC's where they are enrolled through biometric verification into Nadra's database." He further informed that "Each Mustahiq's fingerprints are recorded and they are promptly issued a Benazir Muawanat card. In the second step, as per Sindh Government guidelines, an amount of Rs 3,000 is distributed to each Zakat Mustahiq every six months."-PR
