You can apply if you are:

• A widow with no steady income

• A divorced or separated woman

• A woman with a disability

• A member of a poor family living below the poverty line

To get this support, your family must be listed in the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry). This is a government database that tracks income and living conditions.

How to Check If You’re Eligible

Before registering, you need to check if your CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) is already in the system.

You have two simple ways to do this:

Option 1: Check Online

1. Go to 8171.bisp.gov.pk

2. Type your 13-digit CNIC number (without dashes)

3. Complete the security code and press submit

4. You’ll see one of these results:

   • Eligible: You can now go for biometric verification

   • Survey Needed: You need to visit the BISP office

   • Not Found: You must update your details at a BISP center

Option 2: Check by SMS

1. Open your phone’s messaging app

2. Type your CNIC number

3. Send it to 8171

4. Wait for a free reply that tells you your registration status

Always use your own mobile SIM when sending the message. If your number is not linked to your CNIC, the system might not work properly.

What to Do If a Survey Is Needed

If the system tells you “Survey Needed,” don’t worry. Just visit your nearest BISP office or special registration camp.

Here’s what you need to take with you:

• Your original CNIC

• B-Forms for all your children

• A certificate if you are a widow, divorced, or disabled

• Your own mobile SIM registered in your name

At the center, BISP staff will ask questions about your family, income, and home. They might also visit your house to confirm everything. After your survey, you’ll get an SMS from 8171 telling you if you’ve been approved.

How You Will Receive the Money

If you are approved, you can receive your Rs. 13,000 payment in one of the following ways:

• From an ATM using a BISP debit card

• At a registered payment center or local shop (POS agent)

• At special BISP payment camps

Always carry your original CNIC when going to collect your money.

Important Tips to Stay Safe

Many women are tricked by fake agents. Be careful:

• Never pay anyone to help you register—it’s free

• Only trust official sources like 8171 SMS or the BISP website

• Don’t share your CNIC or PIN with strangers or in WhatsApp groups

• If someone asks for money, report them by calling the BISP helpline: 0800-26477

Final Words

Benazir Kafalat is more than just financial help—it’s a way for women to take care of their homes with dignity. If you or someone in your family qualifies, follow the steps above to register safely and quickly. Don’t wait—registration for the July 2025 cycle is open now, and the sooner you act, the sooner your support can start.
