Why Is BISP Expanding in 2025?
The government aims to support 10 million families by the end of this year. To reach this target, BISP is:
- Registering more low-income families
- Making payment systems safer and digital
- Increasing the quarterly payment amount to Rs. 13,500
The expansion is a direct response to inflation and rising living costs across Pakistan.
Who Is Eligible for the New BISP Card?
Not everyone will get the new card automatically. BISP uses a Proxy Means Test (PMT) score to decide eligibility. You can qualify if:
- Your household income is below Rs. 50,000/month
- You are a woman-led household, widow, or divorced woman
- You don’t own luxury vehicles or more than 2 acres of land
- You have a valid CNIC registered with NADRA
- Your family includes orphans, disabled persons, or you live in an underdeveloped area.
