BISP Payments in 2024: Key Updates and Eligibility Criteria

Here is the most recent update from the 8171 Ehsaas program for all eligible women and beneficiaries receiving payments from the Benazir Kafalat Programme and their children’s Taleemi Wazaif. The BISP team strictly checks the status of the beneficiaries, and their updates are also documented so that only eligible recipients receive BISP payments.

BISP Halts Payments To Taxpayers In 2024 – New Update

One of the most crucial things that all the underprivileged individuals who wish to participate in the BISP Program and the Beneficiaries who are currently receiving the Benazir Kafalat Payments should know is that paying taxes to FBR will result in the termination of their funds in 2024 as it is against the program’s policies.

When someone asked why they hadn’t received the money during the live E-Kacheri, BISP Chairperson Rubina Khalid investigated and said that the reason they hadn’t received it for a few months was because they weren’t eligible for the program. After all, they had filed a tax return with the FBR. They will therefore no longer be getting paid. 

Tax Payers Can No Longer Receive Payments From 8171 Ehsaas Program

PointDetails
Taxpayer IneligibilityTaxpayers are no longer eligible for BISP payments starting in 2024.
Strict Eligibility ChecksBISP conducts strict eligibility checks to ensure only eligible recipients receive payments.

Eligibility RequirementsMust be a Pakistani citizen, have a PMT score <32, possess a CNIC, not be a government employee, and be incapacitated if applicable.

Eligible women receiving payments from the Benazir Income Support Program will no longer be able to receive those payments once they pay taxes to FBR. This is because the BISP Program will instantly cancel their registration and put their name on the list.

Beneficiaries Should Not File A Tax Return With FBR 

The Beneficiaries must adhere to strict criteria set by the BISP personnel, which include being cautious at all times and paying particular attention to deadlines to guarantee that their updated information is captured in their data. Given that the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) provides financial assistance to participants who fall below the poverty line, people ought to be thoughtful enough to provide accurate and full information about it.

Important Steps For Beneficiaries Who Are Scammed And Excluded From The Program

Beneficiaries often fall victim to scams where they are tricked into giving their ID cards to a third party who files a tax return with FBR using their CNIC card. To avoid this, victims should file a complaint with the authorities, visit the FBR office with their CNIC card and evidence, request their tax return be removed from their database, and return to the BISP Tehsil office for a resurvey, where payments may begin after the survey.

Requirements For BISP Kafalat Payment

To be eligible for the Benazir Kafalat Program, women must be Pakistani citizens, have a PMT score of less than 32, have a CNIC card if physically or mentally incapacitated, and are not employed by the government. Any additional assistance should come from other social programs.

Conclusion

To sum up, the most recent changes to the BISP Program show that recipients who turn into taxpayers are no longer qualified to receive benefits. The goal of this policy adjustment is to guarantee that the program benefits only the most indigent people. To keep their eligibility, beneficiaries are encouraged to give accurate information and refrain from filing tax returns.
