To ensure continued support, it has introduced updated instructions for beneficiaries. Issues may arise from outdated personal data, eligibility criteria changes, or missed verification steps. Women must act on these instructions immediately to resolve these problems and continue receiving financial aid.
First, confirm your eligibility.
To receive payment from women, women must meet eligibility criteria, including completing the NSER survey and maintaining a PMT score between 0 and 32.
- To confirm eligibility, send your CNIC number to 8171 via SMS or visit the official 8171 web portal.
- Immediate verification is crucial to prevent disqualification, as many women stop receiving payments due to outdated data or changes in PMT scores due to new income or assets.
Update Your Details at the Tehsil Office of BISP
BISP mandates registered beneficiaries to report any changes in their personal or family information, including recent moves, income changes, increased dependents, or family deaths, to avoid being ineligible. Women must also keep their phone number and address updated for communication and payment alerts.

Utilize Only Approved Payment Methods
BISP has partnered with banks and payment agents to ensure secure fund distribution. Women should be aware of the risks of fraud and losing installments.
- Official payment methods include debit cards, partner banks like Habib Bank and Bank Alfalah, approved mobile banking partners, and agents linked to JazzCash and EasyPaisa.
- BISP does not charge fees for withdrawals or bribes, and payments are free of cost to support poor families without deductions.
Understand the Payment Date and the Procedure for Recovery
The Benazir Kafalat Program, issued every three months, follows a phase-wise disbursement strategy based on region and verification status. To collect payments, check if your area’s distribution phase has started and use 8171 SMS or the web portal to check your current status. Avoid rushing to centers without confirmation to avoid unnecessary travel and crowding. Keep your original CNIC card for verification during withdrawals.

Fraudulent scams and fraud are prevalent, with many women falling victim to fake BISP agents or SMS messages. BISP insists on not asking for CNIC details, OTPs, or money over phone calls, urging individuals to report such calls.
How to keep yourself safe:
BISP Contact Guidelines
• Only use 8171 for BISP contact.
• Avoid sharing OTP, CNIC, or family details.
• Avoid processing fees or charges.
• Report fraud or suspicious activity to 0800-26477.
Go only to authorized offices.
Visit official BISP Tehsil offices or designated help centers for assistance, avoid trusting random individuals, and submit surveys, complaints, or data correction requests at official locations, not in return for money.
Reasons for Being Rejected
Women may be excluded from the program due to economic changes or disqualifying assets, and their PMT score will be recalculated based on income, land ownership, vehicle registration, or foreign remittance.
Disqualifications for the program can occur due to government job opportunities, increased household income, property registration, or receiving overseas remittances. Re-entering the program may require a fresh NSER survey and may take several months.
Educate the entire family.
The BISP guidelines require understanding by all adult members of the household, including registered women, as any mistake or misuse can result in disqualification. Misuse of funds, fraud, or sharing false data can lead to permanent removal from the BISP database, making it crucial to keep everyone informed and follow the rules.
In Conclusion
The BISP guidelines are crucial for registered women to ensure timely payments. If they are not received, follow the instructions, check eligibility, update information, and collect payments through authorized channels. Trust official sources to avoid fraud. For assistance or complaints, contact the BISP helpline at 0800-26477 or visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office.
