BISP Income Limits and How Household Eligibility Is Checked
To get BISP help, a family should earn less than PKR 50,000 per month. Families earning more usually cannot get the payment. This limit may be a little different in some areas, but it helps give aid to the poorest families.
BISP also looks at how many people live in the household, any help they already receive, and their living conditions to see who needs support the most
Assets That Can Make You Ineligible for BISP Payments
Having a small income is not enough to get BISP help. The new rules also check if you own land, vehicles, or luxury items to make sure only poor families get the payment.
Things that can stop you from getting BISP help:
- Owning more than one house
- Having a car or motorcycle in your name
- Owning shops, commercial land, or rental properties
Even if your income is low, having these things can make you ineligible.
Why the Poverty Score Is Important for BISP Payments
Each applicant gets a “poverty score” from the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER). This score looks at things like your house, education, job, and access to basic services. A low score gives you a better chance of getting BISP help.
To stay eligible, families should keep their NSER information up to date and make sure it shows their current situation correctly.
Who Is No Longer Eligible for BISP Payments
The new rules stop certain people from getting BISP payments to make sure help goes to those who really need it:
- Government workers and pensioners
- People or families who have recently traveled abroad
- Those already receiving help from other major aid programs
- Anyone giving false or old documents during verification
These rules make sure only truly needy families get the support.

How to Check if You Are Eligible for BISP Payments
You can now easily check if you are eligible for BISP.

If you live in a remote area, you can visit a mobile unit when it comes to your place.
Make sure your phone number and address are correct in NADRA. This will help you get updates and avoid any delay in your verification
BISP Gives Priority to Widows, Disabled Persons, and Poor Families
The program now focuses on helping the most needy families first. This includes:
- Widows and divorced women
- Orphans and families where children are the main earners
- People with disabilities
- Women-led families living in villages
These groups face more financial problems, so they are given quicker registration and faster approval
Common Mistakes That Can Cause BISP Application Rejection
Even if you qualify, small mistakes can cause your application to be rejected. Some common reasons include:
- Using an old CNIC or giving the wrong family details
- Not showing income from small or part-time jobs
- Information in your documents does not match the NSER record
To avoid problems, check all your details carefully and reply quickly if BISP contacts you for any clarification

- Original CNIC of you and your spouse
- Proof of income (if available)
