The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) continues to evolve with new reforms in 2025 to ensure transparency and fair distribution of financial aid. As part of these changes, a nationwide dynamic survey was carried out to verify existing beneficiaries and register new eligible families. Under the updated system, approved households are entitled to receive Rs. 13,500 in financial support during the 2025 cycle.
These updates are designed to reduce fraud, strengthen verification, and make the program more accessible for Pakistan’s most vulnerable families. For current beneficiaries and new applicants, understanding these rules is essential to avoid disqualification and ensure timely payments.
Why the Dynamic Survey 2025 Was Conducted
The NSER Dynamic Survey 2025 plays a central role in reshaping the program. Its objectives include:
-
Re-verifying households already receiving BISP assistance.
-
Identifying new families in need of financial support.
-
Ensuring payments are distributed fairly among the poorest communities.
Beneficiaries were required to visit their nearest BISP Tehsil Office or use mobile registration vans. A BISP mobile app was also introduced, allowing people to track their applications and locate survey centers more easily.
Required documents for survey registration included:
-
Original CNIC of the household head.
-
Children’s B-Forms (if applicable).
-
An active mobile number.
-
A recent utility bill for address verification.
Families who missed the June 30, 2025 deadline were automatically disqualified from receiving future installments.
Eligibility Criteria After the Survey
After the survey, each household was assigned a PMT (Poverty Means Test) score based on income, living conditions, and assets.
-
Eligible: Families with a PMT score below 34, widows, disabled persons, and senior citizens.
-
Not Eligible: Families with PMT scores above 34, households with improved economic conditions, or those who failed to update their records.
Pending cases are under review, and payments will be processed once verification is complete.
Updated Payment & Verification System
To enhance security, BISP introduced new payment methods in collaboration with the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
Key features include:
-
Mandatory biometric verification at ATMs, banks, and POS terminals.
-
PayPak debit cards for those facing fingerprint issues.
-
Digital transfers via Raast and IBFT, sending money directly into beneficiary accounts.
-
Cash withdrawals available at designated partner banks and BISP centers.
These changes aim to cut waiting times, prevent fraud, and make payments safer for all beneficiaries.
