BISP 2025 Removal Update: What to Do If You’re Affected
Many women across Pakistan have recently been affected by a major update in the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). If you haven’t received your payment or have been marked ineligible, this article explains what’s happening, who is being removed, and what steps you can take now.
If You Haven’t Collected Your Payment Yet
Women who are already part of the BISP program but haven’t received their payment should visit their nearest BISP office or camp location. Payments are being distributed in all districts, so be sure to take your original CNIC and check your name on the active list.
Why Are People Being Removed From BISP?
The BISP program regularly updates its records to ensure only the most deserving families receive support. A key part of this process is the PMT score (Poverty Measurement Tool). This score is based on your financial and social status.
If your PMT score is now above 32, it means you are considered no longer in need of financial assistance—according to government standards. As a result, your name may be removed from the list of active beneficiaries.
Number of Beneficiaries Removed by Region
Here’s a breakdown of how many people are being removed in each area:
- Sindh: 130,042 removed
- Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP): 277,000 removed
- Punjab: 243,380 removed
- Balochistan: 45,280 removed

- Azad Kashmir: 17,361 removed
- Gilgit-Baltistan: 82,970 removed

Total Removals Across Pakistan: 820,165 Beneficiaries
These removals are part of a government notification signed under the leadership of Rubina Khalid to make the program more transparent and fair.
What You Should Do Now
If you’ve been removed or suspect that your PMT score has increased, don’t worry. You can still take action:
1. Visit Your Local BISP Office
Check your PMT score and confirm your eligibility. The staff can tell you if you’re still on the list.
2. Request a Re-Survey
If your financial situation has worsened, you can ask for a re-survey. This might help lower your PMT score and get you back on the list.
3. Prepare the Right Documents
Take your original CNIC and any papers that prove your financial condition, such as electricity bills or income statements.
4. Stay Informed
Keep an eye on SMS alerts or public messages from BISP so you don’t miss important updates or re-registration dates.
Helpful Tips to Keep Receiving Benefits
- Keep your CNIC valid and up to date
- Always respond to BISP survey teams
- Do not give false information in applications
- Do not apply more than once from the same household
- Update your household details when needed
