After Being Rejected from BISP, What Should You Do to Become Eligible – 100% Guaranteed Way to be Eligible

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) Kafalat Program provides quarterly financial aid to the most deserving and financially vulnerable families across Pakistan. However, many applicants are marked ineligible due to technical, financial, or documentation issues. If you are one of them, don’t worry—there are clear steps you can take to try and become eligible again.

Step-by-Step Guide for Ineligible Individuals

Step 1: Understand Why You Are Ineligible

Before trying again, it’s important to find out the reason for rejection. The most common reasons include:

• Having a monthly household income above PKR 50,000
• Owning land, property, or vehicles
• Traveling abroad or holding a machine-readable passport
• Being a government employee or having one in the household
• Being a taxpayer or having a high poverty score
• Already receiving support from Ehsaas, Zakat, or another federal program

You can check your status and reason for ineligibility by sending your CNIC number to 8171 via SMS or by visiting the official BISP portal.

Step 2: Update Your Family Information in the NSER Survey

One of the most important steps to become eligible again is to update your data in the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry). This survey helps determine whether your household qualifies for BISP aid.

🔄 How to Update the NSER Survey:

• Visit the nearest BISP Tehsil Office or registration center.
• Carry the following documents:
  • Your valid CNIC
  • Family Registration Certificate (FRC) from NADRA
  • Utility bill (if available)
  • Proof of income (if household income has changed)
  • Widowhood or disability certificate, if applicable

Note: NSER teams regularly visit homes, but you can also request a re-survey if your economic conditions have changed recently (e.g., job loss, death in family, etc.).

Step 3: Make Sure You Meet All Eligibility Conditions

To qualify, ensure your situation meets the following official BISP criteria:

Eligibility Criteria	Required Standard (2025)
Residency	Must be a permanent resident of Pakistan
Monthly Household Income	Should be below PKR 50,000
Poverty Score (PMT Score)	Should be below 32, or below 34 for widows
Government Employment	No family member should be employed in public sector
Foreign Travel	No family member should have traveled abroad
Taxpayer Status	Must not be a registered taxpayer
Assets Ownership	Should not own land, property, or vehicles
Other Government Assistance	Should not be benefiting from other schemes like Ehsaas or Zakat

If any of these conditions have recently changed, such as the loss of a job, disability, or becoming a widow, it’s crucial to update your records through NSER.

Step 4: Recheck Eligibility After Updates

After updating your details, wait for the verification process to complete. BISP will cross-check the information with government databases.

📲 How to Check Again:

• Send your CNIC number to 8171
• Or, visit the BISP website: www.bisp.gov.pk and go to the “Check Eligibility” section

If your update was successful and you’re now eligible, you’ll receive a confirmation SMS from 8171.

Step 5: Appeal or File a Complaint (If Still Ineligible)

If you’re still marked as ineligible even after updating your information, you can:

• File an appeal at the nearest BISP Tehsil Office
• Submit a written application along with supporting documents
• Request a manual reassessment or home visit by NSER teams

Some cases (especially involving widows or people with disabilities) may be considered on humanitarian grounds, even if their score is slightly above the cut-off.

Important Tips for Ineligible Candidates

• Don’t share your CNIC with strangers claiming to “fix” your eligibility.
• There is no fee for BISP registration or re-verification—avoid paying agents or middlemen.
• Make sure your CNIC is valid and updated with NADRA.
• Keep your contact number active so that BISP can reach you via SMS.
• Stay informed by following official BISP sources only (website, SMS from 8171, or BISP office).

BISP Kafalat Payment Details (2025)

Once approved, you will receive PKR 13,500 every 3 months. The payment can be collected through:

• Designated Cash Centers
• Mobile wallets like Easypaisa or JazzCash
• Biometric ATMs (HBL & Bank Alfalah)

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been marked ineligible for the BISP Kafalat Program, don’t give up. Many families become eligible after correcting their information, updating their poverty score, or reapplying with proper documentation. Follow the legal, free, and official process for the best chance of receiving financial support through BISP.
