As a Remitter, you can register a Beneficiary against his/her valid CNIC No. using the Mobile App. The beneficiary will receive a registration code along with the App download link on SMS on provided mobile number, using which he/she can enroll as a Beneficiary. The registration code is valid for 03 days, after which the request will expire, and you will have to re-add the beneficiary.
The remittances received in RDA account (PKR and FCY) will be eligible for reward points once amount is consumed for expenses i.e. the RDA holder spends the amount to meet certain expenses. The amount so spent will become eligible for rewards. For example, an RDA holder pays education fees of his/her dependents in Pakistan, pays rent for residence, medical or insurance expenses or any similar expenses, will become eligible for reward points. Further, reward points may be earned on the funds spent for Roshan Samaji Khidmat. However, the unspent balance in PKR or FCY account and amount invested in property, stocks, NPCs and INPCs etc. is repatriable and will not be eligible for rewards under SDRP.
Yes, joint RDA holders will be eligible for reward points provided remittances received in RDA (PKR and FCY) are utilized for the expenses stated above.
