BISP 8171 August 2025 – New Ineligibility Rules and Survey Instructions

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is Pakistan’s largest social welfare scheme. It helps millions of low-income families, especially women, by giving them financial assistance to manage daily expenses.

In 2025, BISP introduced new rules for women who have been receiving payments for many years but have not updated their household records through the Dynamic Survey. These changes affect eligibility and future payments.

Why Did BISP Make This Change?

The government noticed that many women have been getting BISP support for more than three years without updating their family details.

• Those who did not complete the Dynamic Survey are now marked as ineligible.

• The aim is to ensure that only the most deserving families continue to receive help.

• Families whose financial condition has improved should step aside so poorer families can benefit.

Who Is Affected?

• All women who received BISP Kafalat support for 3 years or more but did not complete the Dynamic Survey are now temporarily disqualified.

• They can only regain eligibility after updating their household information.

This step is important because family income, property, or living conditions often change over time.

What Is the Dynamic Survey?

The Dynamic Survey is used to update the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER).

• It records details like family size, children, income, and household facilities.

• This helps BISP check who still qualifies for aid.

• Women must update their data every few years to stay in the program.

Why Re-Entry Is Difficult

• Women who miss the survey deadline are marked ineligible in the system.

• To rejoin, they must go through a complete survey and verification process.

• Approval is not guaranteed, making the process tough.

This ensures transparency and fairness in the program.

Who Will Benefit From This Update?

• Newly identified poor families will be added to BISP.

• These families will also qualify for Taleemi Wazaif (education stipends) for their children.

This prevents outdated records from blocking families in greater need.

What Should Women Do Now?

1. Check Status – Send CNIC to 8171 or visit the BISP 8171 web portal.

2. Visit Tehsil Office – Provide CNIC, children’s B-Forms, and household details.

3. Complete Dynamic Survey – Answer questions about income, family, and living conditions.

4. Wait for Review – BISP will verify the details and approve if eligible.

Why Updating Records Is Important

• Ensures fair distribution of aid.

• Keeps records accurate and prevents misuse.

• Protects future benefits like stipends for children.

• Strengthens women empowerment by keeping them linked to digital payment systems.
