The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially announced the resumption of Rs13,500 payments in November 2025 for eligible women across Pakistan.
This update comes as a huge relief for thousands of beneficiaries whose payments were previously blocked due to expired CNICs or incomplete dynamic survey records.
If your BISP Kafalat payments were suspended, now is the time to verify your CNIC and update your information — your pending financial assistance can be reactivated quickly through the 8171 BISP portal.
Why Were BISP Kafalat Payments Blocked?
Many families faced sudden payment disruptions earlier this year, mainly due to two key reasons:
-
Expired CNIC (National Identity Card):
If your CNIC had expired and wasn’t renewed or re-submitted to the BISP office, your account was temporarily frozen. -
Uncompleted Dynamic Survey:
Every BISP beneficiary must update their household details every three years through a Dynamic Survey.
Missing this update automatically marks your record as “inactive” — pausing all payments until verification is completed.
The BISP administration confirmed that the suspension was necessary to ensure that only genuine and verified families continue receiving aid.
What Is the Dynamic Survey and Why Is It Important?
The Dynamic Survey is a mandatory verification process conducted at the BISP Tehsil Offices. It helps update your household data to determine continued eligibility.
During this process, you’ll be asked about:
-
Total family income and expenses
-
Number of family members and dependents
-
Living conditions and education status
If your survey hasn’t been updated in the last three years, your payment may still be on hold. Completing this process is essential to reactivate your Rs13,500 assistance.
