BISP Re-Survey 2025 – Complete Guide for Ineligible Families to Reapply for Ehsaas Aid
Across Pakistan, thousands of families who were once declared ineligible (نااہل) for the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) or Ehsaas cash assistance are now receiving new survey letters at their homes.
These letters mean you have been selected again for verification, and your data will be re-checked to decide if you now qualify for financial support.
This process is part of the government’s Dynamic Survey 2025, a country-wide effort to update information and ensure that every truly deserving household receives help.
If your home has received one of these letters — or if you were marked ineligible before — this detailed guide will help you understand what’s happening, what steps to take, and how to make sure your application is successful this time.
Understanding the 2025 BISP Re-Survey Process
The BISP team, working under the Ehsaas umbrella, is re-checking family data to remove errors and re-include those who were unfairly excluded earlier.
During the previous surveys, many families were marked “ineligible” because their income, property, or household data were either incomplete, outdated, or mismatched with NADRA records.
Now, the government has decided to revisit these cases and give everyone a fair chance again.
That’s why survey letters are being sent to homes in selected clusters and districts.
Each letter contains a specific date and instructions for when and where you must go to complete your new household survey.
This new survey is designed to verify your current income, assets, family members, and overall living conditions.
What You Must Do When You Receive the Letter
When you receive the official survey letter, it is very important to handle it carefully. Follow these steps to avoid mistakes or delays:
1. Read the Letter Properly
The letter contains:
- Your name or family ID
- The date for your re-survey appointment
- The location of the BISP or Ehsaas survey center
- A short list of required documents
Do not go to any camp site, registration van, or BISP office before the date written on your letter.
The government has clearly instructed that families must appear only on the date mentioned.
Arriving early will not speed up your process — it may cause confusion or rejection.
2. Visit the Center on the Scheduled Date
On the given date, take your original documents (listed below) and go to the center or office mentioned in your letter.
You will meet BISP field staff who will verify your household information through the new Dynamic Survey system.
This step is crucial — it’s your chance to update your data correctly so you can be re-considered for financial aid.
3. Keep Checking Your Status Through 8171
While waiting for your appointment, or after completing your survey, you can check your eligibility status by:
- Sending your 13-digit CNIC number to 8171 by SMS.
- Visiting the official 8171 portal online and entering your CNIC to see your current status.
Possible results include:
- Eligible: You are approved for payment.
- Under Review: Your application is being verified.
- Ineligible: Your case needs re-checking or additional documents.
Regularly checking helps you stay updated and ensures you don’t miss important updates or deadlines.

Required Documents for the New BISP Survey
To avoid any delays or problems, prepare the following documents before visiting your survey center:
- Original CNIC of all adult household members
- B-Form for all children in the family
- Recent electricity or gas bill (as proof of residence)
- Proof of address such as a rent agreement or local certificate
- Proof of income or a statement of your job/work status
- Disability certificate, if any family member is disabled
- Death certificate (for widows) or divorce certificate, if applicable
All documents must be genuine, valid, and consistent with NADRA data.
Small mistakes — such as spelling errors in names or mismatched addresses — can delay approval.
Common Reasons Why People Were Marked “Ineligible”
Many families were disqualified in earlier phases for simple reasons. Knowing these can help you avoid repeating them:
- Incorrect or incomplete data during the previous survey
- Mismatch between NADRA records and survey forms
- Household income higher than the BISP eligibility limit
- Property or vehicle ownership that exceeded criteria
- Government employment in the household
- Failure to update information after marriage, job loss, or change in family status
- Missing or expired CNICs
The new Dynamic Survey gives you a chance to correct these issues.
Make sure all information you provide is truthful and up to date — false or missing details can again result in rejection.
What to Do If You Are Still Shown as “Ineligible”
If, after completing the re-survey, your result still says ineligible, don’t give up.
There are several steps you can take to appeal or request a review:
- Visit your nearest BISP office and ask for a manual case review.
- Call the BISP helpline (0800-26477) to report your issue and get guidance.
- Verify your NADRA record again — make sure your address, marital status, and family members are correctly updated.
- Submit an appeal if your data was wrongly interpreted.
- Wait for about 30–45 days after the survey — sometimes, updates take time to appear in the system.
Many families become eligible after submitting the correct documents or clarifying data errors. Patience and persistence are key.
Important Tips to Keep in Mind
To make your re-survey process smoother and avoid common issues, follow these helpful tips:
- Wait for your official letter before visiting the office.
- Do not trust individuals claiming to “speed up” your case for money — all services are free of cost.
- Always use your own CNIC when sending SMS to 8171; do not use others’ numbers.
- Keep your NADRA record updated (especially address and family details).
- Keep a photocopy of your documents before submission.
- If you move to a new area, inform the BISP office so your data can be transferred.
- Share this information with friends and neighbors — many people miss their appointments simply because they didn’t know what the letter meant.
Why the Government Is Conducting the Re-Survey
The BISP Dynamic Survey 2025 was launched because people’s circumstances change over time.
Some who were once poor may now have a stable income, while others who were doing fine may have lost jobs, become widows, or faced new hardships.
To make sure aid is distributed fairly, the government must re-check household conditions regularly.
By updating data, BISP ensures that help continues to reach families who genuinely need it — and prevents misuse of public funds.
This re-survey also supports future welfare programs, such as education stipends for children, health insurance, and food subsidies.
