The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is Pakistan’s biggest social welfare initiative, aimed at providing financial assistance to low-income families. In 2025, new rules for removing ineligible beneficiaries have been introduced to ensure that the program benefits only deserving families. It’s important for current BISP recipients and those who want to apply to understand the new criteria. This will help them avoid losing support or missing the chance to join the program. In this article we are sharing all the reasons why some people may lose their eligibility for BISP in 2025.
| Reason | Description |
| Government or Pensioned Jobs | Families with government employees or pension holders. |
| Large Assets | Owning a vehicle, agricultural land, or a registered business. |
| High Utility Bills | Families with high electricity or gas bills. |
| Failure to Complete Survey | Not completing the Dynamic NSER Survey in time. |

Government or Pensioned Employees
One of the main reasons people may lose their BISP eligibility in 2025 is if any member of the family holds a government job or receives a pension. This rule ensures that only low-income, non-government households are included. If someone in the family is working in a government job or getting a pension, the whole family will be disqualified from receiving the BISP benefits.

Those Owning Large Assets
Another reason for removal from BISP is the ownership of large assets. If a beneficiary owns valuable items like a car, motorcycle, or agricultural land beyond the allowed limit, they may no longer qualify. Similarly, if they run a business that is registered with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), this could disqualify them from receiving support. The idea is to focus on families that truly need financial help.
Families with High Utility Bills
- BISP Payment Suspension Criteria
BISP may stop payments for families with high utility bills. - Utility Bill Threshold
If monthly utility bills (electricity or gas) exceed 1,000 units, the family may no longer be eligible. - Financial Assessment
High utility bills indicate the family may have sufficient financial resources to cover expenses. - Purpose of the Rule
Ensures that BISP assistance is directed only to families facing genuine financial hardship.
Failure to Complete the Dynamic Survey
A critical reason for removal from the program is failure to complete the Dynamic NSER Survey. This survey is designed to update information about each beneficiary’s family, income, assets, and other factors. Anyone who fails to fill out this survey or provides incorrect details may be removed from the program. It is important to complete the survey on time to stay in the BISP program.
Duplicate Family Entries
BISP has also introduced a rule to remove duplicate entries in the system. For example, if a man registers both his wives separately for the program, only one will remain on the list. Typically, the wife with more children is prioritized. This is done to avoid families receiving multiple payments from the program, which helps ensure that funds are used efficiently and fairly.
How to Check if You Are Still Eligible
To check if you are still eligible for BISP, you can use several methods:
- Via SMS: Send your CNIC number to 8171. You will receive a confirmation message about your status.
- Online Portal: Visit BISP 8171 Online Portal and enter your accurate CNIC number to check eligibility.
