Published by: Educational Trending News Staff | Last Updated: October 25, 2025

The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is making significant updates to its beneficiary list to ensure support reaches only the most deserving families. This has led to important news about which beneficiaries will be removed from the Benazir Income Support Program.

If you are a current beneficiary, it is crucial to understand these new rules. This article provides a clear breakdown of the 7 specific reasons for removal, who is affected, and what this means for new applicants waiting to be included.

7 Reasons Beneficiaries Will Be Removed from BISP

The government is implementing a stricter verification process. A large number of beneficiaries will be removed based on the following criteria:

  1. Failure to Complete Dynamic Survey: Those who have not completed their dynamic survey will be disqualified. This is a mandatory step, and failing to do it means you will not receive the next installment.
  2. PMT Score Above 32: After the dynamic survey, if a beneficiary’s Poverty Means Test (PMT) score is found to be higher than 32, they will be considered ineligible and removed from the program.
  3. Foreign Travel History: Beneficiaries who have traveled abroad, or whose husbands have traveled abroad, will be removed from the program as this indicates financial stability.
  4. Tax Filer Status: Individuals who are registered as tax filers with the FBR (or whose husbands are filers) are not eligible for BISP and will be removed.
  5. Government Employment or Pension: Any person who is a government employee or receiving a government pension (or whose husband is) will be disqualified.
  6. High Mobile Phone Expenditure: Beneficiaries who have applied for an easy load or mobile package of 2000 PKR or more in a single month will be removed, as this suggests disposable income.
  7. Recipients of Other Government Loans: Those who have taken loans from the Punjab government (or other provincial governments) for a home or business will also be removed from this program.

People Also Ask (FAQ)

Q: What is the BISP dynamic survey?

The dynamic survey is a process to re-evaluate the socio-economic status of all BISP beneficiaries. It is mandatory for everyone to update their family and financial information at a BISP registration center to confirm they are still eligible for support.

Q: How can I check my BISP PMT score?

You cannot check your exact PMT score online. However, you can check your eligibility status by sending your CNIC number to 8171 or by visiting the official BISP web portal. Your eligibility is directly based on your PMT score.

Q: Who is not eligible for the Benazir Income Support Program?

You are not eligible if you or your spouse are government employees, tax filers, have traveled abroad, own a car, or have a PMT score above 32. The program is strictly for families living in extreme poverty.

Q: Can a government employee’s wife receive BISP money?

No. As per the new rules, if a beneficiary’s husband is a government employee or a pensioner, the wife will be removed from the program and will no longer be eligible to receive payments.

Q: What happens if I travel abroad while on BISP?

If you or your spouse (listed in your family registration) travel abroad for any reason, your BISP support will be stopped. The government’s system will flag your passport activity, and you will be removed from the beneficiary list.

Q: How do I register for BISP as a new applicant?

New applicants must visit the nearest BISP (NSER) registration center with their CNIC. A dynamic survey will be conducted to assess your family’s poverty level. If your PMT score is below the eligibility threshold (currently 32), you will be included in the program.

Q: What is the BISP payment for 2025?

The BISP payment, also known as the Kafaalat installment, is updated periodically by the government. As of the latest updates, the quarterly installment is typically around Rs. 10,500, but beneficiaries should always check the official BISP announcements for the exact amount.

Q: Why is my BISP account blocked?

Your account may be blocked for several reasons: you failed to complete the dynamic survey, your PMT score increased, you or your spouse were identified as a government employee, or you failed biometric verification. You must visit a BISP office to resolve the issue.

Q: Can I get a BISP loan?

BISP itself primarily provides cash grants (Kafaalat). However, beneficiaries may be eligible for other government programs, like interest-free loans from organizations such as Akhuwat, which are sometimes partnered with BISP. Check the BISP office for information on associated programs.

Q: How to update information in BISP?

To update your information (such as marital status, death of a family member, or new child), you must visit your nearest BISP tehsil office or NSER registration center. This is a key part of the dynamic survey process.
