✅ What Is BISP and How Does It Work?
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is Pakistan’s largest social welfare program aimed at supporting low-income families, especially women. In 2025, BISP provides Rs. 13,500 every three months to eligible beneficiaries. The funds help families pay for essentials like food, school supplies, rent, and healthcare.
Along with cash payments, BISP also offers additional support through programs like:
-
Benazir Taleemi Wazaif (education stipends)
-
Benazir Nashonuma (health and nutrition for mothers and babies)
-
Skill and vocational training programs
🎯 Who Is Eligible for BISP Survey Beneficiary Payment in 2025?
Eligibility for BISP in 2025 is determined through the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) survey. Here’s a breakdown of who can qualify:
1. Low-Income Households
Families earning less than Rs. 50,000 per month may qualify, especially if income comes from daily wages or informal work.

5. Transgender Inclusion
From 2025, transgender individuals with a valid CNIC marked “transgender” are also eligible under relaxed rules.
6. No Government Jobs or Pension
Households receiving government salaries or pensions are not eligible for BISP support.
