For millions of families across Pakistan, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is a critical financial support system. In 2025, the government launched a fresh BISP Survey to update the data of beneficiaries and include new deserving households. Whether you’re already receiving payments or want to apply, this year’s survey is essential.
If you skip this step, your payments can be stopped. Here’s how to check your eligibility using your CNIC and resolve any issues along the way.
What is the BISP Survey 2025?
The BISP Survey 2025, also called the Dynamic Registry Survey, is a nationwide effort to verify the financial conditions of households through updated information. The survey checks your family’s income, property, household size, and living conditions.
This ensures only those who genuinely qualify receive the Rs. 13,500 quarterly support. Some older beneficiaries may no longer be eligible, while others — affected by rising inflation or job loss — may now qualify.
Who Needs to Join the Survey?
There are two main groups who must participate:
Existing BISP Beneficiaries – It’s mandatory for them to update their details through the new survey.
New Applicants – If your financial condition has worsened, you can now apply under the updated rules.
Skipping the survey may result in your name being removed from the list, and payments may stop permanently.
Updated BISP Eligibility Conditions (2025)
To qualify for BISP in 2025, your household must meet these criteria:
Income below the poverty line (PMT score under 32).

Special consideration is also being given to disabled individuals and transgender applicants with CNIC verification.
