The BISP 8171 Ehsaas Program, under the Government of Pakistan, is one of the most significant social welfare initiatives aimed at supporting low-income and deserving families. Through the Benazir Income Support Programme, millions of families across the country have benefited from Kafalat cash payments and Taleemi Wazaif. However, in 2025, many families, especially women, are being disqualified from receiving aid.
This article will explain in detail why beneficiaries are being disqualified, how to requalify, what steps to take if your aid is stopped, and how to avoid disqualification in the future. If you or someone you know has been suddenly removed from the program, this comprehensive guide will help you understand the reasons and how to address them.

Main Reasons for Disqualification from the Ehsaas Program
Disqualification from the Ehsaas Kafalat Program usually happens due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. Failure to Complete the Dynamic Survey
This is the most common reason in 2025. Women who have been receiving BISP Kafalat payments for the past three years or more are now being disqualified for not completing the Dynamic Survey.
Why it matters: The Dynamic Survey is a mandatory process introduced by BISP to collect updated information from families. Without completing it, the system cannot verify if you still meet the eligibility requirements.
The survey asks for:
- Family size and structure
- Monthly income details
- House ownership or rental status
- Employment or job changes
- Children’s education status
If you missed this survey, your name is automatically removed from the active beneficiary list.
2. High PMT Score (Poverty Score)
The Ehsaas Program uses a Proxy Means Test (PMT) Score to determine eligibility. Families with a PMT score higher than 30–40% are disqualified. This score is calculated based on:
- Your CNIC data
- Household income
- Property ownership
- Utility bills
- Vehicle registration
If your PMT score increased over time due to any financial or asset changes, you may no longer be eligible.
3. Excessive Bank Transactions
According to BISP regulations in 2025, families with monthly bank transactions exceeding Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 100,000 are considered financially stable and thus ineligible for the program.
Even if you registered earlier, if your bank account activity shows high inflows or outflows, it will raise a red flag.
4. Incorrect or Outdated CNIC Information
If your CNIC is expired or contains outdated information (e.g., marital status, address), the BISP system may flag you as ineligible.
Always ensure that:
- Your CNIC is up to date
- All personal records (name, spouse info, etc.) are accurate
- Your children’s B-Forms are registered correctly
5. Government Job or Business Ownership
If any family member is employed in a government position or owns a registered business, the household becomes ineligible. BISP is intended exclusively for families living under or near the poverty line.

What Happens If You’re Disqualified?
Once disqualified:
- Your Kafalat payments stop immediately
- Your status in the BISP database is marked as “ineligible.”
- You cannot rejoin until you complete a new Dynamic Survey
- Even after survey completion, you must wait for a spot in the new quota
What Is the BISP Dynamic Survey and Why Is It Important?
The Dynamic Survey is a nationwide effort by BISP to ensure that only deserving families continue receiving aid. It replaces old, outdated surveys with fresh, up-to-date data from each household.
Key Information Collected Includes:
- Number of family members
- Household income sources
- Type of house (owned/rented)
- Children’s school enrollment
- Any disability in the family
- Employment details
Without this updated data, BISP cannot confirm your eligibility, leading to automatic disqualification.

Step-by-Step Guide to Reapply if Disqualified
If your aid has been stopped, follow these steps to try to requalify:
Step 1: Visit the Nearest BISP Registration Center
Go to the Dynamic Registration Desk at the closest BISP Tehsil office. There are over 600 centers established across Pakistan for this purpose.
Step 2: Bring Required Documents
Take the following:
- Your Original CNIC
- Children’s B-Forms
- Utility Bill
- Disability Certificate
- Death Certificat
Step 3: Request to Complete the Dynamic Survey
Inform the BISP staff that you were previously registered but disqualified and wish to complete the Dynamic Survey. They will guide you to a data entry agent who will collect your updated details.
Step 4: Wait for Verification
Your data will be reviewed, and the system will calculate your new PMT score. If you qualify under the new rules and quota, you will be approved again.
Step 5: Check Your Status
After a few weeks, check your eligibility using one of the following methods:
- SMS: Send your CNIC number to 8171
- Online: Visit the official website
- In-Person: Ask at your nearest BISP center
Important: New Quota System Makes Rejoining Difficult
Even after completing the survey, getting reapproved is not guaranteed. That’s because:
- There is now a limited quota of new applicants each year
- BISP only adds new beneficiaries based on budget availability
- Families are selected based on need, urgency, and score
That’s why it’s essential to provide honest and accurate information during your survey. False data could lead to permanent disqualification.

Good News: Children’s Taleemi Wazaif Will Continue
