The Government of Pakistan continues its commitment to social welfare through the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). In August 2025, the government announced the release of a new instalment of Rs. 13,500 to help low-income families manage their essential needs during times of inflation and economic instability. Along with this payment, the government has also introduced a re-registration opportunity for individuals who were previously declared ineligible.
Through the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) dynamic survey, these individuals can now reapply and become part of the program if they meet the eligibility requirements. This article will guide you through the latest payment update, who can apply, how to re-register, and what steps to take to claim the payment successfully.
What is the Rs 13,500 BISP Payment?
The Rs. 13,500 instalment is part of BISP’s quarterly financial assistance given to registered families across Pakistan. The programme is designed to support economically disadvantaged households, especially those led by women, widows, or persons with disabilities. This payment is being distributed across various cities and districts through official BISP payment centres, HBL Konnect agents, and partner banks such as Bank Alfalah. The new instalment is for the quarter ending August 2025 and aims to help families afford essential expenses like food, health, and education.

Big Relief for Previously Ineligible Applicants
One of the most significant updates in this cycle is the opportunity for previously ineligible individuals to become eligible again through a re-survey process. Many applicants were earlier disqualified for reasons including:
- Incomplete or outdated information in the NSER database
- Biometric verification failures
- Being mistakenly marked as a government employee or tax filer
- CNIC data mismatches
- Unlisted household members or dependents
The government has acknowledged these technical and clerical issues and is now offering a second chance through the NSER Dynamic Survey.
Who Can Reapply?
You may be eligible to reapply if:
- You were previously marked as ineligible, but you belong to a low-income household
- You are a widow, an unemployed woman, or a disabled individual
- Your household income is below the poverty threshold
- You do not hold a government job or own large property
- Your earlier disqualification was due to survey data errors
How to Reapply for BISP via the NSER Dynamic Survey
If you believe you are eligible for the BISP payment but were previously marked ineligible, follow these steps to re-register:
1. Visit the Nearest BISP Tehsil Office
Take your original CNIC to the nearest BISP office and request to be included in the NSER Dynamic Survey. The survey staff will collect updated household data to reassess your eligibility.
2. Submit Accurate Household Information
During the survey, you must provide the following:
