How BISP Eligibility Works

BISP (Benazir Income Support Programme) is Pakistan's largest social protection initiative, providing cash transfers to low-income households through the Benazir Kafalat programme. **How BISP determines eligibility:** BISP uses a Poverty Score Card (PSC) system based on the National Socioeconomic Registry (NSER) survey. Households with a score below 32 (on the 0-100 scale, lower = poorer) qualify for assistance. **Key eligibility factors:** - Monthly household income (below Rs 20,000 is a strong indicator) - Housing type (katcha/mud housing = higher poverty score) - Land ownership (less land = higher poverty indicator) - Vehicle ownership (no car = eligible; motorcycle is acceptable) - Education level in household - No government employees in the household - No regular bank accounts (Asaan/basic accounts are OK) **The Rs 8,500 quarterly benefit:** Eligible households receive Rs 8,500 every quarter (approximately Rs 2,833/month). This is disbursed through: - HBL Bank branches (with BISP debit card) - Designated BISP payment agents - Some BISP offices directly **Important disclaimer:** This tool provides an indicative assessment only. BISP eligibility is officially determined by the government's PSC survey — not self-reporting. Your survey data from previous NSER surveys determines your actual score.
