Islamabad: The federal government on Thursday launched a supplementary payment solution for the Ehsaas Emergency Programme, a news source reported. The aim of the solution is to facilitate those Ehsaas beneficiaries who are facing issues with biometric identification from NADRA.

Habib Bank Limited in Punjab, Sindh, & Balochistan
Bank Alfalah in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Gilgit Baltistan (GB), & Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK)
Sources have revealed that the departments concerned would send out text messages to beneficiaries facing biometric verification issues. They added that the messages would contain:
Beneficiary name & CNIC number
Date of receiving payment
Name of designated bank with addresses of bank branches to withdraw money
The sources stated that the process of sending out messages in a phased manner was underway. They added that beneficiaries are required to carry their original CNICs and mobile phones containing the payment messages to collect their funds from the banks.
