BISP Beneficiary Removal List
BISP Beneficiary Removal List: Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is Pakistan’s largest social welfare scheme, through which financial assistance is provided to millions of deserving women and families. However, under a joint decision of the Punjab government and BISP, it has now been decided to exclude several people from the program who are benefiting from other government incentives or whose financial condition has improved.
This step has been taken to ensure transparency, fairness, and that assistance reaches the actual beneficiaries.
1. Decision to exclude ration card holders from the program
According to the Punjab government, people who had applied for Punjab ration cards or who have been issued ration cards,
are being excluded from the Benazir Income Support Program.
Details:
- According to the government, such people are already being provided with food or ration facilities. Hence, they cannot be given double financial assistance.
- This decision has been made to ensure the fair distribution of resources and to include new deserving families.
- Ration card holders who are still included in the program will be removed through an automated system in the next phase.

2. People receiving the Ramadan subsidy (Rs. 10,000) are also excluded
People who received a Ramadan subsidy of Rs. 10,000 from the provincial government during Ramadan are also being removed from BISP.
Reasons:
- The government thinks that the same family cannot be allowed to benefit from more than one financial assistance program.
- Under this policy, people receiving Ramadan subsidy have been removed from the Benazir Kafalat list or will be removed in the next phase.
- New eligible families are being added in their place so that the assistance reaches only those who are really in need.
3. People who have taken loans of Rs 15 lakh under the Punjab Housing Scheme are also excluded from BISP
The Punjab government has decided to exclude those people who have received loans of up to Rs 15 lakh under the Punjab Housing Scheme or Apni Chhat Apni Zameen Scheme.
Reasons and Policy:
- According to the government, such people are no longer included in the category of low-income group.
- Those who have taken loans for the construction or purchase of a house are considered to be in a better financial condition.
- The Benazir Income Support Program is reserved only for extremely poor, destitute, and low-income families.

4. People eligible for the PSER program are also affected
In the new survey conducted under the PSER (Punjab Social & Economic Registry) program,
If a family has been declared eligible or has received any installment amount,
Then the names of such people will also be excluded from the Benazir Income Support Program.
Explanation:
- The PSER survey aims to collect accurate data on poverty in Punjab.
- If a person’s PMT (Poverty Means Test) score is above the prescribed limit, then he/she is considered ineligible for BISP.
- The government has taken this decision to eliminate double assistance and to ensure transparency in the system.
5. Expected changes for women in the Aghosh program
The government has indicated that women included in the Aghosh program may also be excluded from the Benazir Income Support Program in the next phase.
Description:
- Under the Aghosh program, special financial assistance is provided to pregnant women or mothers of newborn children.
- If a woman is already receiving regular money from the Aghosh program, then the possibility of her being excluded from BISP has increased.
- The aim is to avoid duplication in the distribution of assistance and to include new deserving families.
Important note for all BISP beneficiaries
- All these decisions are being made on the basis of digital data and surveys of the Punjab Government and the Benazir Income Support Program.
- No eligible family is being excluded unnecessarily, but each case is being decided after examining the NSER and PSER data.
- If an eligible woman or family has been excluded by mistake, they can check their eligibility again by visiting the 8171 portal or contacting the nearest BISP office.
- All these steps are being taken for transparency, improvement, and fair distribution of resources.

New digital system and transparency policy
The Benazir Income Support Program has introduced a new digital verification system this year.

Benefits of this system:
- Prevention of double assistance
- Distribution of funds only to the actual beneficiaries
- Identification of fictitious or non-existent beneficiaries
- Eliminating corruption in the program
