Benazir Kafalat Program: New Chance for Disqualified Women in 2025
Benazir Kafalat Program
Overview of the Benazir Kafalat Program
The Benazir Kafalat Program is one of the most vital social welfare initiatives in Pakistan, aimed at supporting underprivileged women. Through this program, millions of women receive financial assistance every three months to help meet their basic needs.
Recently, however, many women were disqualified from receiving benefits, leading to widespread concern. This article provides a complete guide on:
- Why some women were disqualified
- How and when they can rejoin the program
- What steps they need to take for re-registration
Main Reasons for Disqualification
Most women who were disqualified had recently undergone a re-survey, resulting in changes to their Poverty Means Test (PMT) score. A higher PMT score made them ineligible. Common reasons include:
- PMT score exceeding the threshold of 32
- Improved financial or domestic conditions
- Incorrect or incomplete information during the survey
- Decisions based on outdated data
Despite these disqualifications, the government is now offering a second chance to such women to rejoin the program.
When Can Disqualified Women Retake the Survey?
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is sending official letters to disqualified women, specifying their re-survey date and instructions. This new survey can be completed at the nearest BISP office, free of cost.
If you haven’t received a letter, you can:
- Visit the official 8171 web portal
- Enter your CNIC
- Check your current status and survey eligibility
Latest Update: Dynamic Survey Status
Some women see the message “Enrolled in Dynamic Survey” on the portal. This means their data is under verification. Until this process is complete, payments will be withheld.
