BISP 2025: How to appeal if you are ineligible

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) provides financial help to poor families across Pakistan. If you’ve been marked ineligible in 2025, don’t worry. You can fix the issue and apply again through a simple appeal process.

Here’s how to understand the reason and what steps to take.

Why You May Be Ineligible

Many people are declared ineligible due to small mistakes or outdated data. Common reasons include:

• Poverty score (PMT) is too high:

  • General families: Below 32

  • Widows/divorced women: Below 35

  • Disabled family: Below 37

• NSER survey data not updated

• Expired or unlinked CNIC

• Biometric issues

• You or a close family member has:

  • Government job

  • Passport with travel

  • Registered vehicle or property

How to Check Your BISP Status

1. By SMS:
   Send your CNIC number to 8171. You’ll get a reply with your status.

2. Online:
   Visit the BISP 8171 portal, enter your CNIC and code to check your result.

3. Office Visit:
   Go to the nearest BISP Tehsil office with your CNIC. Ask the staff to explain your status.

Steps to Appeal and Reapply
