What is the Benazir Kafalat Program?

Launched in 2008, BKP aims to alleviate poverty and support women's socioeconomic participation. It provides a bi-annual cash grant to eligible families registered with BISP. This empowers women to manage household finances, improve living standards, and invest in children's education and health.

Who is Eligible?

Eligibility for BKP is determined through a National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) survey. Families with a score below 32 on the NSER poverty scorecard qualify for the program. The survey considers factors like income, housing, ownership of assets, and access to basic necessities.

How to Check Eligibility

There are two ways to check your eligibility for BKP:

  1. Online Verification: Visit the BISP web portal (https://bisp.gov.pk/) and navigate to the "Benazir Kafalat Program" section. Enter your Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) number to access your eligibility status.

  2. BISP Tehsil Office (BTO): Visit your nearest BTO. Locate the Dynamic Survey Registration Desk and present your CNIC. A BISP representative will check your status and guide you further.

Registration Process

If the NSER survey indicates your eligibility, you don't need to register separately for BKP. The program automatically includes qualified families. However, if you haven't been previously surveyed by BISP, you can register for the Dynamic Survey at your nearest BTO. Here's what to expect:

  1. Registration Desk: Provide your CNIC and any child Birth Registration Certificate (B-Form) or Child Registration Card (CRC) you possess.
  2. Token Issuance: You'll receive a token for either a "New Survey" or an "Update Survey."
  3. Waiting Area: Wait for your number to be called for the survey.
  4. Survey Room: A BISP representative will conduct a survey to assess your socioeconomic status.

What Documents Do I Need?

For the BISP Dynamic Survey, you'll need:

  • Original CNIC
  • Original B-Form or CRC for any children under 18 (if available)

Important Points to Remember

  • The BISP program operates transparently. They will only contact you through their official number, 8171. Be wary of anyone contacting you from any other number regarding BKP.
  • The program prioritizes women's empowerment. A female member of the eligible household, married, divorced, or widowed, will typically receive the cash grant.
  • The BISP website (https://bisp.gov.pk/) offers valuable resources, including a comprehensive FAQ section and informative videos.

In Conclusion

The Benazir Kafalat Program is a significant initiative supporting underprivileged families in Pakistan. By understanding the eligibility criteria, verification process, and registration procedure, you can determine if your family qualifies for this beneficial program. Remember, BISP prioritizes transparency, so rely only on official channels for communication.
