Your Guide to BISP Disqualification Letters
The BISP Kafalat Program is currently sending out important letters after conducting a new review of all its beneficiaries. This guide explains exactly what these letters mean and what clear, official steps you must take next to secure your family’s future.
Understanding Your Letter
Receiving this official notice means that, following a recent data check, your family has been found ineligible for the quarterly cash support. Consequently, all future payments under this specific plan will be stopped starting from the date mentioned in the document.
A key detail often missed is that this letter is not a permanent ban but the start of a mandatory waiting period. The date printed on your letter is the most critical piece of information, as it marks day one of your one-year timeline for potential re-evaluation.
Impact on Child Benefits
Crucially, your disqualification affects all linked educational and health stipends for your children. This means the support payments for both the Taleemi Wazaif and the Benazir Nashonuma initiatives will also halt.
To be perfectly clear, if your ineligibility date is in October, your children will not receive any stipend money for the months following October. An insider tip is to keep all school attendance slips and health clinic visit records from before your disqualification date, as you may need them to claim any final, pending payments.
How to Re-Apply Later
Eventually, you will have an opportunity to re-enter the Programme, but only after a specific time has passed. The official rule clearly states that you must wait for at least one full year from the date on your letter before you can request a new survey.
The Re-Survey Process
- Wait for the one-year period, as mentioned in your letter, to complete fully.
- Visit your nearest Benazir Income Support Programme registration center to request a new National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) survey.
- Complete the detailed survey honestly with the BISP official.
- Await the results, which will determine your new Poverty Measurement Tool (PMT) score.
Joining again is only possible if your new assessment shows a PMT score below 32. A lesser-known fact is that you can check your family’s CNIC status on the 8171 portal periodically to see if your situation has changed, even before the year is up.
Warning Against Fraud
Always remember that all official BISP processes, including re-registration and surveys, are completely free. If anyone demands a fee or promises to get you re-qualified faster, they are trying to scam you.
Protect yourself and your money by following these rules:
- Never pay any person a fee for BISP services.
- Do not believe anyone who claims they can lower your PMT score or speed up your one-year waiting period.
- Report any suspicious activity or requests for money immediately to the official BISP helpline.
“This letter is not an end, but a pause; use this time to prepare, so your family’s next chapter is one of strength and stability.”
Your Next Steps
Looking ahead, your most important action is to mark the one-year date from your letter on a calendar. In the meantime, you can explore other provincial or local charity programs that may offer temporary assistance to your family.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What if my payments stopped but I never received a letter?
You should visit your nearest BISP tehsil office immediately to inquire about your status. It is possible the letter was lost in transit, and the office can provide you with the official reason for the payment stoppage and your disqualification date.
2. Is re-qualification guaranteed after one year if I do the survey?
No, re-qualification is not guaranteed. Completing the survey after one year only gives you a chance to be re-evaluated, and your re-entry into the Programme depends entirely on your new PMT score being below the 32 threshold.
3. If I am disqualified, can another female member of my household apply?
The BISP evaluation is based on the entire household’s economic status, not just one individual. If your household has been deemed ineligible, another female member from the same household cannot apply and become eligible during the one-year waiting period.### BISP Disqualification Letter?
