BISP Ineligible Categories 2025 – Full List of Disqualified People
The BISP ineligible categories are now being discussed everywhere, especially after thousands of families found their names removed from the Benazir Income Support Program in recent updates. This program is meant for truly deserving households, but over time, stricter filters have been added to remove those who no longer meet the criteria. If you’re confused about why someone isn’t getting BISP help, or you want to make sure you or your family still qualify, then this guide is exactly what you need.
In this article, you’ll understand the full list of people who are considered ineligible for BISP in 2025, what the disqualification reasons are, and what steps you can take if you’re wrongly marked as ineligible.
What Is BISP and Why Some People Get Rejected?
The BISP is designed specifically for poor, unemployed, widowed, and deserving women across Pakistan. The goal is to support households that truly cannot meet basic needs. However, as with any government program, misuse and fake applications have been a challenge.
To deal with this, NADRA, NSER, and BISP officials have introduced several filters to check who is genuinely eligible. Those who do not meet the updated criteria are marked ineligible.

Any person currently working in a government job, or retired and receiving a government pension, is automatically disqualified from BISP.
- Includes federal, provincial, and semi-government jobs.
- Even if it’s a low-paying government job, it still counts as ineligible.
2. Income Tax Filers and Active Taxpayers
If your name appears in the FBR Active Taxpayer List (ATL) or you have filed income tax returns, it means you have a stable source of income and hence are not considered deserving.
3. Car or Motorcycle Owners (Above Certain Limit)
People who own a car or multiple motorcycles, especially those registered in recent years, are considered financially stable and are excluded from BISP.
- More than one bike or any car disqualifies the household.
- If the vehicle is registered in your name, it will reflect in NADRA/Excise records.
4. Passport Holders with Travel History
Anyone who has a passport and has traveled abroad, especially for non-labor purposes, is disqualified.
- Government assumes if you can travel abroad, you’re not poor.
- Labor visas (Middle East etc.) may be considered separately in some cases.
5. Monthly Income Above BISP Threshold
Families whose monthly income is over Rs. 30,000-40,000 (approx.) are marked ineligible.
- This is calculated via NSER survey data, electricity bills, and utility expenses.
6. High Utility Bill Payers
If your electricity or gas bill shows regular usage above a certain amount (e.g., Rs. 2,000 to 5,000 monthly), it signals the family has capacity to afford lifestyle expenses.
| Utility Bill Limit | Eligibility Status |
| Less than Rs. 1,000/month | Likely Eligible |
| Rs. 2,000 – Rs. 5,000/month | Under Review |
| Over Rs. 5,000/month | Likely Ineligible |

People running registered shops, businesses, or earning through visible private means are considered ineligible. This includes:
- Retail shops
- Kiryanas
- Freelancers with bank records
- Private company directors
8. Fake Information in NSER Survey
If you provided incorrect or misleading details during the BISP/NSER survey, your data may be flagged. On re-verification, such applicants are marked disqualified.
- Mismatched CNIC, wrong household data, etc.
- False claims of being unemployed
