Benazir Kafalat Program: New Chance For Disqualified Women in 2025

Benazir Kafalat Program

The Benazir Kafalat Program is the most important government scheme for the welfare of women in Pakistan. Under this program, millions of women are provided financial assistance every three months to meet their basic needs. However, recently many women have been disqualified from this program, due to which they are concerned.

This article will tell you in detail when disqualified women can re-join the survey, on what grounds they were disqualified, and what is the procedure for re-registration for them.

Main Reasons For Disqualification

Most of the women who were disqualified from the Kafalat program are those who had recently completed their survey. Their PMT (poverty score) increased, due to which they could not meet the criteria for assistance.

The main reasons are as follows:

• PMT score exceeding the limit of 32
• Improvement in financial or domestic conditions
• Providing incorrect or incomplete information
• Decision based on old data

Anxiety and disappointment are being seen among such women, but the government has decided to give them a chance to participate in the survey again.

When Will Ineligible Women Be Able To Re-Take The Survey?

Regular letters are being sent by the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) to those women who have been declared ineligible. These letters contain the date and instructions for the re-survey. Women can complete a new survey by visiting their nearest BISP office by following these instructions. This process is completely free and does not require any agent or fee.

If you have not received any letter yet, you can also check your status yourself by visiting the 8171 web portal. There you will know when your new survey will start and what are the chances of you being re-eligible.

New Update Of Dynamic Survey

The status of some women is showing on the web portal that they have been enrolled in the dynamic survey. It has been made clear to these women that the verification process of their information is ongoing. Until the verification is complete, payments will not be released to them. However, after the verification is complete, BISP will decide whether they are eligible or not.

Important Instructions For These women

• Check the status daily by visiting the 8171 web portal
• Do not give money to any non-government person or agent
• If the status says “Verification in progress”, then wait patiently

New Survey Process by BISP

The government has announced that this time the dynamic survey process has been made more transparent so that no eligible woman is left out
The following information is collected during the survey:

• Household income
• Education and health details
• Residential status
• Electricity or gas bill details

All this information is updated in the system so that only genuine eligible women can benefit from the Kafalat program.

Payment Process After Being Declared Eligible

• If you are declared eligible after the re-survey, you will receive an SMS from BISP on 8171.
