BISP Kafalat October 2025 Payment and Re-Verification Complete Guide
BISP Kafalat October 2025 Payment
The Benazir Income Support Program is a support for the poor and deserving families of Pakistan that helps them meet the basic needs of life such as food, medical treatment and children’s education expenses. The government has introduced a new phase in October 2025 under which a mandatory re-verification process has been started for some families benefiting from the Kafalat program. Only after this process will the next installment of Rs. 13,500 be released to the eligible families in December 2025.
Why is re-verification necessary?
The government’s aim is to ensure that the assistance reaches only those who are really deserving of it. Over time, records change and sometimes due to incorrect or outdated data, the money also reaches the wrong families. An attempt is being made to eliminate these problems through re-verification.
The main reasons are:
- Problems were arising due to expired identity cards.
- There were omissions or errors in the NSER data of some families.
- Duplicate entries have also come to light in the system which need to be eliminated.
- To ensure that only eligible families receive the installment of Rs. 13,500.
Which families need to undergo re-verification?
This is not mandatory for all families. Only those families who have received the official SMS from 8171 or who have been informed by the BISP office will be part of the process.
Eligible families include:
- Households who have received a re-verification message from 8171.
- Beneficiaries whose CNIC has expired or has been recently renewed.
- Households whose survey details are incomplete or outdated.
- Households who were flagged during the internal checking system of NADRA or BISP.
- Those who have registered anew in 2025 and now need to verify their details.
If you are among them, it is important to complete this process before October 31, 2025, otherwise the December installment may be suspended or delayed.
