The Sindh government has just announced important news for all those visiting BISP Tehsil offices for new registrations under the Benazir Income Support Program. The government will now issue birth certificates for children at no cost. BISP Chairperson Rubina Khalid has highly appreciated this decision, as it simplifies the process for deserving women in Sindh. Now, they can complete recertification surveys for their children, who will also qualify for educational scholarships under the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif scheme.
BISP appreciated this decision to make birth registration free of charge
In a landmark move, the Sindh Cabinet has approved free birth registration services across the province. The cabinet, in its Saturday meeting, agreed to provide these services at no charge.

Senator Khalid also stated that this step eases the process for poor families, especially women, to get recertification for their children. Previously, the cost and requirements for birth certificates were obstacles to completing the NSER survey at BISP Tehsil Centers. Now, with this change, more children will qualify for the Benazir educational scholarships.
