In an encouraging move, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has announced that certain blocked beneficiaries will now start receiving payments again. This includes women whose households were earlier flagged for income tax or high-income family members (e.g., husbands listed as tax filers or salary earners).
If your BISP payments were stopped due to income verification issues, there’s good news — your installments have been reactivated.
✅ What’s the Update About?
Many women had their payments stopped because their husbands or household members were shown to be income tax filers or had higher PMT (Poverty Means Test) scores. This led to temporary account suspensions.
Now, after a re-review and profile clearance through NADRA and PMT updates, these women are being added back to the BISP payment list.
📋 Who Is Included in This Update?
The following women are included:
- Women whose installments were stopped because their spouse was flagged for high income or sales tax
- Those who were marked under Category 1 – High Income/ATL (Active Taxpayer List)
- Women who had low PMT scores but were still blocked due to family financial links
- Beneficiaries whose NADRA profiling is now marked “cleared”
📈 Example Case Breakdown
In the image example:
- Name: Asho Bibi
- Husband: Muhammad Shakeel
- District: Rahim Yar Khan
- Enrollment Date: 11-Sep-2024
- Previous PMT Score: 12.43
- New PMT Score: 25.95
- Account Reactivated: Payments of Rs. 3,500 already deposited multiple times on 28-May-2025
💡 What Is PMT Score and Why It Matters?
PMT (Poverty Means Test) score decides if someone qualifies for BISP. Lower scores mean higher eligibility.
- Below 32 = Eligible
- Above 32 = Possibly Ineligible
In Asho Bibi’s case, even though her score was below 32, her husband’s tax history affected eligibility. After review, her profile was cleared, and payment resumed. BISP Payments Restarted for Women Blocked Due to ATL/Tax Issues – June 2025
