Benazir Kafalat Program
The Benazir Kafalat Program (BKP) 2025 continues to be one of Pakistan’s most important social protection initiatives. Designed to support low-income families, it provides quarterly cash assistance to millions of beneficiaries across the country. However, many households who were once part of the program have been declared ineligible after fresh surveys, updates in the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER), or changes in government policy.
For those who were excluded, the good news is that the government has provided a clear path to become eligible again in 2025, provided they meet the poverty score criteria and follow the correct re-registration process.
Why Some Families Were Declared Ineligible
There are several reasons why many beneficiaries lost access to the Benazir Kafalat Program:
- Updated NSER Survey: Families whose economic conditions improved in the latest NSER poverty survey were excluded.
- Invalid or Expired CNICs: Beneficiaries with unverified or expired CNICs faced disqualification.
- Duplicate Entries: Some households were found to be receiving multiple benefits under different names.
- Change in Household Circumstances: Increase in income, property ownership, or vehicle registration led to removal.
- Incomplete Data: Families that did not update their records during the dynamic survey were automatically removed.
How to Become Eligible Again in 2025
If your household was previously declared ineligible, here are the steps you can take in 2025 to reapply and increase your chances of becoming eligible again:
1. Update Your CNIC
- Make sure your Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) is valid and updated with NADRA.
- Married women should ensure that their CNIC shows the correct marital and household information.
2. Visit the Nearest BISP Tehsil Office
- Go to your local BISP Tehsil Office with your CNIC.
- Request for Dynamic Survey registration or re-verification of your household data.
3. Re-Enter Your Household Information
- Provide accurate details about your family size, income, assets, and residence.
- If your financial situation has worsened since the last survey, this should reflect in your updated poverty score.
4. Send CNIC to 8171
- After updating your records, send your CNIC number via SMS to 8171.
- You will receive a confirmation reply regarding your eligibility status.
5. Regularly Check Payment Updates
- Once approved, your name will be added again to the Benazir Kafalat Program beneficiary list.
- Payments will then be transferred through designated banks and BISP payment centers.
