The Benazir Income Support Program , Pakistan’s largest social welfare initiative, has introduced new rules in 2025 to ensure it benefits only deserving families. It is crucial for current BISP recipients and those applying to understand the new criteria to avoid losing support or missing out on the opportunity to join the program. This article explains the reasons why some people may lose their eligibility for BISP in 2025.
In 2025, Benazir Income Support Program eligibility may be lost if a family member holds a government job or receives a pension, excluding low-income, non-government households. This rule ensures that only low-income households are included, and if someone works in a government job or receives a pension, the entire family will be disqualified.
| Reason for Removal | Description |
|---|---|
| Government Job or Pension | If a family member has a government job or receives a pension, you’re ineligible. |
| Ownership of Assets | Owning cars, land, or registered business may lead to disqualification. |
| High Utility Bills | Using more than 1,000 electricity units can indicate ineligibility. |
| Failure to Complete Survey | Not completing or updating the Dynamic Survey may cause removal. |
Those with Significant Assets
Benazir Income Support Program beneficiaries may be removed from the program if they own large assets beyond the allowed limit, such as cars, motorcycles, or agricultural land, or if they run a registered business with the Federal Board of Revenue, as these factors may disqualify them from receiving financial assistance.
Families with High Utility Bills
BISP Payment Suspension Criteria
• BISP may stop payments for families with high utility bills.
• Utility bill threshold: Families exceeding 1,000 units may lose eligibility.
• Financial assessment: High bills suggest sufficient financial resources. Register
• Purpose: Direct assistance to families facing genuine financial hardship.
Not Finishing the Dynamic Survey
The Dynamic NSER Survey, designed to update beneficiary information about family, income, and assets, is a critical reason for program removal. Failure to complete or provide incorrect details may result in removal, emphasizing the importance of timely completion for program stays.
Duplicate Family Entries
BISP has implemented a rule to eliminate duplicate entries in its system, ensuring that only one wife is on the list for a program, with the wife with more children being prioritized to prevent multiple payments and ensure efficient and fair use of funds.
How to Check if You Are Still Eligible
BISP Eligibility Check Methods:
• SMS: Send CNIC number to 8171 for status confirmation.
• Online Portal: Enter accurate CNIC number for eligibility check.
• Nearest BISP Office: Visit if no message received.
Conclusion
The article provides information on the BISP Beneficiary Removal Criteria for 2025, aiming to ensure only eligible families receive support. The new rules focus on families with government jobs, high assets, large utility bills, and those who fail to complete the Dynamic Survey. To stay in the program, keep records updated, complete the required survey, and check eligibility through official channels.
