Eligibility Criteria for 2026
The system automatically filters out applicants who do not meet these criteria:
- Income: Monthly family income must generally be under Rs. 60,000.
- Government Employees: Not eligible (specifically Grade 17 and above).
- Asset Owners: Owners of registered cars or large commercial properties are filtered out.
- BISP Status: If you are already a BISP Kafalat beneficiary, you are likely already approved for the extra Rs. 13,000.
How to Get Your Cash (Rs. 13,000)
Once your status is “Eligible”:
- Biometric Centers: Visit authorized HBL Konnect or Bank Alfalah agents.
- BISP Camps: Special Ramadan campsites have been set up in every Tehsil for easy cash collection.
- Payment: Your thumbprint is mandatory for verification. No agent or official can give you cash without it.
Very Helpful Information for Readers
- SIM Card Rule: Ensure the SIM card you use to send the SMS to 9999 is registered on your own CNIC. If the names don’t match, the system may delay your verification.
- Beware of Scams: The government never asks for a “processing fee.” If someone calls you from a private number asking for your bank OTP or PIN for 9999 relief, it is a scam.
- Re-Survey: If you are poor but marked “Ineligible,” visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office to update your Dynamic Survey. The 2026 portal refreshes its data every 48 hours.
