The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is a crucial initiative by the Government of Pakistan aimed at providing financial assistance to women in need. However, recent updates have indicated that certain categories of women will be disqualified from the program starting in July. Here’s a comprehensive guide on the types of women disqualified from the BISP 10500 program, and how to protect yourself from disqualification.
Types of Women Disqualified from the BISP 10500 Program
1. Women with Increased PMT Scores
Women who underwent a dynamic survey and saw an increase in their Poverty Means Test (PMT) scores have been disqualified. These women were initially eligible for the program but are now deemed ineligible due to changes in their economic status.
2. Women Undergoing a Dynamic Survey
Women who are currently under examination due to a dynamic survey are also at risk of disqualification. These women need to wait until September for their examination to be completed and to potentially qualify for the program.
3. Women Engaging in Self-Deduction
Women who make deductions themselves while taking money are disqualified. This includes women who agree to pay agents a fee for early access to their funds, despite the government’s policy against such deductions.

How to Protect Yourself from Disqualification
- Avoid Self-Deductions: Do not agree to any deductions by agents. Report any harassment or fee demands to the BISP office immediately.
- Stay Informed: Keep updated with the latest news from BISP to ensure you understand the criteria and any changes to the program.
- Follow Guidelines: Adhere to all the guidelines provided by the BISP to maintain your eligibility.
Important Updates for BISP Beneficiaries
- New Banking System: A new banking system with six additional banks is being launched, making it easier for beneficiaries to receive payments through ATMs.
- Third Phase of Kafalat Program: The third and final phase of the current Kafalat program will start in the first week of July. Ensure all your information is updated to avoid any issues with payments.
Why are women with increased PMT scores disqualified?
Women with increased PMT scores are disqualified because their economic status has improved, making them ineligible for financial assistance under the BISP criteria.
What should I do if a BISP agent demands a fee for early access to funds?
If an agent demands a fee, report the incident to the BISP office immediately. Agreeing to such deductions can lead to disqualification from the program.
Conclusion
The BISP 10500 program is a vital lifeline for many women in Pakistan. Understanding the disqualification criteria and staying compliant with the program’s guidelines is crucial to ensure continued support. Stay informed and vigilant to protect your eligibility.
