BISP 8171 Kafalat beneficiaries alert
BISP 8171 Kafalat beneficiaries alert: The Government of Pakistan has recently issued an important directive for the beneficiaries of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), according to which those who are receiving financial assistance from BISP, if they submit a ration card or receive subsidies through it, may be declared ineligible for this financial assistance. This measure aims to maintain transparency in the assistance system and prevent double financial assistance.

Government Instructions
- All BISP beneficiaries have been informed that if they are also benefiting from the ration program, this action may disqualify them from BISP.
- The government is of the view that allowing the same family to benefit from multiple government assistance programs simultaneously leads to imbalance and unfair distribution in the system.
- Both BISP and ration subsidy are public welfare schemes, but benefiting from both simultaneously falls under the category of double assistance.
When Will You Get Double Installment Of BISP?
Reasons for disqualification from BISP
- Double benefit registration
If an individual’s name is present in both the BISP database and the ration program, the system marks it as “duplicate benefit”.
- Strict digital monitoring system
NADRA and other government agencies compare the CNIC and other details of the beneficiaries. This modern system automatically identifies such cases.
- Mistaken benefit is also dangerous
Some people receive ration cards due to ignorance or technical error, but in BISP, this can also be a reason for disqualification, whether you have used it or not.

Steps to stay safe from BISP disqualification
- If you are getting benefits from BISP, do not apply for a ration card under any circumstances.
- If a ration card has been issued in your name or your husband’s name, immediately visit the nearest BISP office and get its information corrected or cancelled.
- To check your eligibility for BISP, get information by sending your CNIC to 8171.
- Before joining any assistance program, make sure that it is not against the terms and conditions of BISP.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it matter if my husband has a ration card?
Yes, BISP considers a household as a unit, so having a ration card in the name of either the husband or the wife can also lead to disqualification.
Will there be a problem even if the ration card is not used?
The mere issuance of the card and its registration in the database can lead to disqualification under BISP rules.
How can one become eligible again after being disqualified?
There is currently no clear way to become eligible again. However, you can approach the concerned office and explain your situation.
