The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is Pakistan’s largest social welfare initiative. The Kafalat program is a part of BISP that provides financial assistance of Rs. 13,500 every three months to low-income women. The goal is to empower women and help their families meet basic needs like food, education, and healthcare.
New BISP Kafalat Eligibility Criteria June 2025 Update
To qualify for the BISP Kafalat June 2025 payment, you must meet the updated eligibility criteria. These changes were made to make sure that only the truly deserving women receive the assistance.
✅ Who is Eligible?
- Women with a Poverty Score between 32 and 34
(Calculated through the NSER survey based on your income, assets, and living conditions) - Widows
(Must provide a valid death certificate of their husband) - Women with disabilities
(Need to submit a valid disability certificate) - Unemployed women
(Not working in government jobs or receiving any pensions) - Families not benefiting from other major government aid
(e.g., Ehsaas or any other financial support program)
Remember, the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) survey plays a key role in determining your poverty score. If your information is outdated or incorrect, you might be disqualified.
Why You May Not Be Receiving Payments
Many women were receiving BISP payments before, but suddenly stopped. Here are some common reasons for disqualification:
- Your poverty score is now above 34
- CNIC is expired or biometric data is missing
- You’re already receiving financial support from another program
- You registered multiple times (duplicate entries)
- Your child’s school attendance is below 70% (for those also receiving education scholarships)
If any of these apply to you, don’t worry. There’s still a way to become eligible again.
