Positive Update: 10 Million Pakistanis to Gain from Expanded BISP
Rubina Khalid, the Chairperson of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), recently revealed that the budget for BISP has been increased.. Previously, the program supported 9.3 million people, but with this new budget, it is expected to reach 10 million beneficiaries. In addition to providing cash assistance, the program will offer skills training and free education to eligible children, aiming to reduce their poverty scores.
Those who were previously disqualified are encouraged to reapply, as the number of National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) survey offices has been increased, making the registration process more accessible. An estimated 700,000 new beneficiaries are expected to join the program.
New Registrations Through NSER
BISP is currently conducting new registrations through the NSER survey. Chairperson Rubina Khalid emphasized that additional people living in poverty will now be included in the program. With the expanded scope, approximately 10 million people will be registered through the NSER survey, compared to the previous 9.3 million.
Extension of NSER Offices
Individuals who have not yet registered for BISP are urged to do so as soon as possible. If you were previously disqualified, note that the recent budget increase allows for the registration of 700,000 new beneficiaries. Those who were disqualified earlier should retake the survey and complete their registration process.
Purpose of the BISP Budget Increase
Many people who were disqualified from the program can now be re-registered through the NSER survey. The budget increase is intended to empower more people and help reduce poverty across the country. Eligible individuals who were previously disqualified should complete their NSER survey to qualify for the Rs 10,500 assistance.
