Benazir Kafalat Program
The most important government initiative for the welfare of Pakistani women is the Benazir Kafalat Program. Every three months, millions of women receive financial assistance to meet their essential expenses under this program. However, a large number of women have recently been excluded from this program, which is causing them concern.
This article will explain in detail when women who were disqualified from the survey can re-register, why they were disqualified, and how to do so.
Principal Causes of Disqualification
The majority of women who were excluded from the Kafalat program had just finished their survey. They were unable to meet the requirements for aid because their PMT (poverty score) rose.
The following are the primary causes:
- PMT score above the 32 threshold
- An improvement in household or financial circumstances
- Giving worng or insufficient information
- A decision based on old data
- These women are exhibiting signs of anxiety and disappointment, but the government has chosen to give them another opportunity to take part in the survey.
A New Dynamic Survey Update
Some women’s enrollment status in the dynamic survey is displayed on the web portal. These women have been informed that their information is still being verified. Payments won’t be made to them until the verification is finished. However, BISP will determine their eligibility after the verification is finished.
Important Instructions For These women
- Visit the 8171 web portal every day to check the status.
- Never give money to an agent or person outside of the government.
- Please be patient if the status indicates “Verification in progress.”
BISP’s New Survey Process
In order to ensure that no eligible woman is left out, the government has declared that this time the dynamic survey process has been made more transparent.
The survey gathers the following data:
- Income of the household
- Details about health and education
- Residential status Details of a gas or electricity bill
- To ensure that only legitimately eligible women can take advantage of the Kafalat program, all of this information is updated in the system.
Procedure for Payment After Eligibility Is Determined
- You will receive an SMS on 8171 from BISP if you are deemed eligible following the re-survey.
- After that, you can pick up your cash at the closest BISP campsite, Bank Alfalah, Habib Bank, or Bank Alfalah ATM.
Women can Who Are Not Eligible Retake the Survey?
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is daily sending letters to women who have been deemed ineligible. The date and guidelines for the re-survey are added in these letters. By following these guidelines, women can visit the BISP office that is closest to them and fill out a new survey. No agent or fee is needed for this process, which is totally free. You can also check your status by going to the 8171 web portal if you haven’t received a letter yet. There, you can find out when your next survey will begin and your chances of being re-eligible.
Conclusion
Women who were rejected from the sponsorship program now have the opportunity to reapply for the survey and receive the assistance they are entitled to. If your status indicates that you are ineligible, you should not worry. Just continue to get dates now through the 8171 web portal and ensure to complete your registration as soon as the survey date is announced. It is hoped that this initiative will not deprive any eligible woman of financial assistance, which is a positive step by the Pakistani government towards women empowerment.

In the event that you do not receive the letter, enter your CNIC on the 8171 web portal. You can find information about the re-survey there.
When will the Kafalat program’s disqualified women be given another opportunity?
Letters from BISP specifying the date of the re-survey will be sent to the disqualified women. They can thus complete the re-registration by going to the BISP office that is closest to them.
