The government has released the new BISP Disqualified Persons List for 2025, marking an important update for families receiving financial support under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). The revised list aims to ensure that assistance is delivered only to households that truly meet the poverty criteria set under the 8171 program.
This update follows a nationwide verification drive to remove ineligible beneficiaries, update household records, and make space for new deserving families.
Why the BISP Disqualified Persons Update 2025 Was Introduced
The move to update the 2025 list was taken to make Pakistan’s social protection system more transparent, fair, and efficient. During recent surveys, many records showed:
-
Improved household income
-
Stable employment
-
Ownership of vehicles or property
-
Expired or incomplete documentation
-
Missing or outdated NSER data
To ensure fairness, BISP conducted detailed data checks through NSER and NADRA, removing families that no longer qualify under the updated poverty score.
Updated Eligibility Rules for 2025
The program now uses stricter measures to evaluate applicants. Factors considered include:
-
Monthly household income
-
Employment status of family members
-
Ownership of land, property, or vehicles
-
Utility expenses and lifestyle indicators
-
Updated poverty score from NSER
If a family’s financial situation has improved, they may be removed from the program because they no longer meet the criteria for assistance.
How the Disqualification Process Works
The process is fully data-driven and transparent. A household may be disqualified if:
-
Household income has increased
-
A member is employed in a stable full-time job
-
Mandatory verification surveys were not completed
-
NSER information is outdated or incorrect
-
The family owns assets beyond the poverty threshold
BISP emphasizes fairness and allows households to understand their reason for removal and seek correction if needed.
Regional Breakdown – Number of Disqualified Beneficiaries
The impact of the update varies across provinces. Here is the approximate distribution:
| Region | Approx. Disqualified Persons |
|---|---|
| Punjab | 250,000 |
| Sindh | 150,000 |
| Khyber Pakhtunkhwa | 200,000 |
| Balochistan | 50,000 |
| AJK & ICT | 70,000 |
These numbers reflect both population density and previous enrollment levels.
