Urgent BISP Survey Deadline: Re-Survey by June 30, 2025, to Continue Financial Aid!

Critical Update for All Benazir Income Support Programme Beneficiaries

⚠️ Deadline Alert: All long-term BISP beneficiaries must complete mandatory re-survey by June 30, 2025, to avoid payment suspension.

Why This Re-Survey Matters

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), Pakistan's flagship social safety net, is implementing its first comprehensive re-verification initiative since 2019. According to the World Bank (2023), regular data updates are crucial for maintaining program integrity in social protection systems. This resurvey aims to:

• Update household economic status using the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER)
• Verify continued eligibility based on current poverty scores
• Integrate biometric verification systems to reduce fraud
• Ensure fair distribution to 9 million active beneficiaries (BISP Annual Report 2024)

Research by the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (2024) shows that regular data updates improve targeting accuracy by 27% in social protection programs.

Who Must Participate?

You MUST complete the re-survey if:

• You've received BISP payments for 3+ consecutive years
• Your family composition has changed (births, deaths, marriages)
• Your household income has significantly changed
• You haven't updated records since 2021

Required Documents for Survey:

• Original CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card)
• Children's B-Forms
• Proof of residence (utility bill or council registration)
• Household income documentation

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Based on BISP Circular No. 3/2025:

• Payments will be suspended after June 2025 installment
• Frozen accounts will require 45-60 days to reactivate after survey completion
• Back payments will not be issued for suspension period

A 2023 study in the Journal of South Asian Development found that payment interruptions disproportionately affect women-led households, reducing child school attendance by 18%.

Survey Process Explained

The updated NSER survey incorporates technological improvements:

1. Biometric Verification: New fingerprint authentication at payment centers
2. Digital Interviews: Tablet-based questionnaires with real-time data validation
3. Wealth Scoring: 57-indicator formula assessing assets, housing quality, and utilities
4. Instant Receipts: SMS confirmation with survey reference number

As noted in UNDP's Social Protection Assessment (2024), these enhancements reduce processing time from 8 weeks to 72 hours.

Quarterly Assistance Update

Following the 2025 federal budget approval:

• Base quarterly payment: Rs. 13,500
• Additional education stipend: Rs. 2,000 per child (up to 3 children)
• Nutrition supplement: Rs. 1,000 for pregnant women/lactating mothers

According to Finance Ministry data, this represents a 25% real-term increase since 2021 after inflation adjustment.
