Steps for Ineligible Families to Re-Qualify for BISP 2025

In 2025, the Government of Pakistan has reopened the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) registration process, especially for families that were disqualified earlier. This is a big relief for thousands of households who were not able to get financial help in the past. The new registration process has become more flexible and inclusive due to changes in eligibility criteria. If you are one of the families that were previously marked ineligible, now is your chance to apply again and benefit from the government’s support.

Changes in BISP Eligibility Criteria for 2025

The biggest update in 2025 is the change in the PMT (Poverty Means Test) score and income limit. The PMT score has been increased, and now families with a monthly income up to Rs. 50,000 can qualify. In earlier years, the limit was Rs. 40,000. This major change means that many middle-class and lower-income families who could not qualify before are now eligible. This also includes people who are facing temporary financial hardships.

So, if your family was declared ineligible last year, you should not lose hope. Visit the nearest Tehsil Office and complete the NSER dynamic survey again. This process is simple and quick, and it ensures that your updated information is recorded properly.

Steps for Ineligible Families to Re-Qualify for BISP

To re-qualify for BISP in 2025, follow these steps:

NSER Dynamic Survey
An officer will conduct the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) survey. This includes questions about your household, number of family members, and income.

After the survey, your data will be analyzed. If your PMT score matches the new criteria, your name will be added to the eligible list.

How to Check BISP Status After Registration

Provide the correct and updated information.
After this, your data will be re-verified, and you may be approved for BISP support.
