One of the major updates to the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) affects beneficiaries who have registered but are now no longer eligible for payments. These people will have to wait for the next biennial survey to reassess their eligibility. The next survey will be in 2026.
If you are not eligible but want to check or update your information, you can do so only to correct missing data.
BISP to start the next survey for ineligible people
In an online meeting on August 5, BISP Director General Naveed Akbar addressed the concerns of many beneficiaries, including questions related to the lock-in status or code 933. He advised those affected to remain patient as eligible people will be re-entered into the programme between September and November.
Ineligible people can update their details at the Tehsil office, but if this does not clear their status, they will have to wait until the 2026 survey to reapply. BenazirKafaalat.pk
Missing data update at the BISP Tehsil office
In the recent online meeting, DG Akbar suggested that people like the person whose wife was receiving Kafalat payments should visit the BISP Tehsil Center to check for any errors. If an error is found, payments can be resumed.

To update your details, follow these steps at the Tehsil office:
- Go to the BISP Tehsil office where you originally registered.

The BISP will conduct its next survey in 2026. Those who are not eligible will have to update the missing data at the Tehsil office to eventually start receiving payments again. While you wait for the next survey to be conducted again, make sure your information is correct to avoid future problems.
