The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) continues to support millions of underprivileged families across Pakistan, and for April 2025, it has released a new list of eligible beneficiaries. This month’s installment has been increased to Rs.13,500, helping families better manage essential expenses amid rising inflation.
If you’re unsure whether you’re included in the 8171 new payment list for April 2025, or you’re facing issues with eligibility or card blockage, here’s everything you need to know about checking your status and receiving your payment without any hassle.
Who’s Eligible for the April 2025 BISP Payment?
Eligibility is based on your PMT (Poverty Means Test) score, which must be 32 or below to qualify. Your data is verified through NADRA, and applicants who meet the poverty criteria but do not own property, vehicles, or businesses are considered.
You may be disqualified if you:
-
Own a registered vehicle or property
-
Are employed in a formal government role
-
Have business or tax registration
-
Receive other major government aid
If you’re newly applying or updating your information, your chances of being added to the April 2025 list are higher if your records are accurate.
