🎧 Listen: 1-minute audio overview
The benazir hari card is Sindh’s farmer support card run by the Agriculture Department. It is meant to help small growers reach subsidies, interest-free loan channels, and verified bank or ATM access after biometric checks. This guide explains what the official site promises, how online registration works, what Sindh Bank’s role is, and which numbers to call. It does not mix this scheme with Punjab’s separate Kisan Card.

What the Benazir Hari Card supports
According to the official About page, the programme is designed for small-scale farmers in Sindh. It ties subsidy and loan support to cleaner beneficiary data so assistance is harder to misuse.
| Official theme | Detail on the government site |
|---|---|
| Inputs support | Subsidies on seeds and fertilizers |
| Finance | Interest-free loan access described on the About page |
| Identity and payouts | Bank accounts, ATM cards, biometric identification, beneficiary verification |
| Scale target | 1.4 million farmers across Sindh |
| Portals listed | Programme site also points to other Sindh agri portals (for example SWAT and ICT Extension) under Portals |
Older launch coverage mentioned land-size cut-offs and a large rupee allocation. Those figures are not repeated on the About page we re-read for this update, so this article does not invent them. Trust the live portal and your district agriculture office for any acre or subsidy-rate rules shown on your form.
If you farm in Punjab instead, see our separate Kisan Card registration Punjab guide. That is a different province and a different card.
How online registration works
The official home page states that BHC launched an online registration portal for farmers and that registration is live. From the public site, farmers registration links point to the programme CMS registration URL.
- Open benazirharicard.gos.pk.
- Choose Farmers Registration / BHC Registration (labels on the menu).
- Continue into the live registration form linked from the site (CMS farmers registrations path).
- Enter CNIC, contact, and farm details exactly as official records show.
- Complete any biometric or district verification steps the form or SMS requests.
- Keep screenshots of submission messages and reference numbers.
Successful registration is what later unlocks programme benefits. Anyone offering a paid “instant card” outside government channels is not an official path.
Sindh Bank and card batches
Sindh Bank hosts a Benazir Hari Card / Wheat Growers Support Program GoS (2025) login at gosagri.sindhbank.com.pk. Use only that official bank host for bank-side credentials.
Associated Press of Pakistan reported on 11 September 2025 that Sindh Agriculture Minister Sardar Muhammad Bux Mahar said registration and verification for 80,000 new farmers had been completed, Sindh Bank was approved to prepare issuance, a first batch of 50,000 cards was due in the last week of that month, and further batches of 50,000 cards were planned about every 20 days. Those batch numbers are from that APP release. Re-check with Sindh Bank or your district office for the batch that applies to you in 2026.

Common registration mistakes to avoid
Farmers lose time when CNIC details on the form do not match NADRA spellings, when land or tenancy papers are unclear, or when someone else submits a form with the wrong mobile number. Use the farmer’s own active SIM for OTP messages. Save the registration slip or screenshot. If Sindh Bank later calls for biometric verification, bring original CNIC and any farm documents the bank desk asks for.
Do not confuse this Sindh programme with federal BISP cash transfers or with Punjab’s separate Kisan Card. Those are different portals, different banks, and different eligibility checks. Paying a “consultant” who claims to skip biometric verification is a red flag. The official site and Sindh Bank desks are the safe path.
If the portal shows maintenance, wait for the Agriculture Department notice rather than switching to a lookalike website. Bookmark the official domain and type it carefully. When in doubt, call the published helpline during listed hours and ask which desk serves your district.
