BISP Guide 2026: Benazir Income Support Program Registration
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is the largest social safety net in Pakistan, providing a lifeline to millions of women and their families. As of 2026, the program has undergone a digital transformation, introducing “Dynamic Registry” and “Benazir Kafaalat” payments that are directly linked to the national inflation index. Our BISP Guide 2026 provides the most comprehensive information on registration, eligibility, and the new payment disbursement system.
What is the Benazir Kafaalat Program 2026?
In 2026, the core cash transfer program of BISP has been renamed to **Benazir Kafaalat**. The monthly stipend has been increased to Rs. 10,500 per quarter to help families cope with the rising cost of essential commodities. This payment is exclusively for women who are the heads of their households and fall under a specific poverty score (PMT score) as determined by the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER).
Full Information on Dynamic Registry 2026
The “Static Registry” of the past has been replaced by the Dynamic Registry. This means that families can now update their financial and household status at any time if their circumstances change (e.g., birth of a child, death of a breadwinner, or loss of income).

- Visit the BISP Tehsil Office: There are over 600 BISP registration centers across Pakistan. You must visit in person with your original CNIC.
- NSER Survey: A trained official will ask a series of questions about your household assets, family size, and income sources. This is called the NSER survey.
- Biometric Verification: Your thumbprints will be scanned and verified with the NADRA database in real-time.
- SMS Confirmation: Within 48 hours, you will receive an SMS from **8171** confirming your registration status.
