The main objective of the program is to provide quarterly cash stipends to low-income families, helping them meet essential expenses such as food, healthcare, and education for their children.

Who is eligible for the September 2025 BISP payment?
Eligibility for the BISP payment is not a one-time process but an ongoing verification system. The government uses the National Socio-Economic Registry and a score to determine which households are most in need of assistance. To be eligible for the September 2025 payment, a household must meet the following criteria:
- Female Head of Household with a Valid CNIC: The primary beneficiary of the BISP payment is the female head of a low-income household. A valid, non-expired Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) is required.
- Low Poverty Line (PMT) Score: Your household’s PMT score, which measures income and standard of living, must be below the threshold set by the government (usually 32 or below). This score is determined during the NSER Dynamic Survey.
- No Government Servant or Pensioner in the Household: Households with any member receiving a government salary or pension are generally not eligible for BISP and related Ehsaas programs.
- No Significant Assets: Households with substantial assets, such as large landholdings or multiple vehicles, are generally excluded from the program.
- Completion of the Dynamic Survey: If your family was previously registered but you have been asked to complete the Dynamic Survey, please do so at your nearest BISP office to ensure that your eligibility is updated and verified. New beneficiaries added this month have been verified through this survey.
- Priority Groups: The program prioritizes certain vulnerable groups, including widows, orphans, people with disabilities (with a valid certificate), and divorced or unmarried women.
