The Ehsaas Kafalat Program is a major welfare initiative by the Government of Pakistan. It’s designed to offer financial help to the country’s poorest families—especially women. With the rising inflation, poverty, and the after-effects of natural disasters like floods, this support is more important than ever.

Where to Register for Ehsaas Kafalat 2025
Head over to your nearest Tehsil Office or BISP center. You can also verify your eligibility via the dynamic survey, conducted by NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry).
No online form? No problem. The 8171 SMS method is the fastest and easiest.
What is the Dynamic Survey?
The dynamic survey is conducted to reassess families’ financial status. If your details have changed, or you weren’t selected previously, this survey gives you a second chance. Once your data is updated, you’ll be considered again for assistance.
Payment Method for the New Installment
If you are eligible, you’ll get a message from 8171. You can collect your money from registered cash centers or use biometric ATMs from banks like HBL or Bank Alfalah.
Make sure your thumbprint is working properly—biometric verification is essential for receiving payments.
Beware of Scams and Fraud Messages
Please note: All official messages come from 8171 only. If you receive messages from other numbers, do not trust them. Never share personal information like:
-
CNIC

Who Is Managing the Program Now?
Currently, the BISP Chairperson Muhammad Saqib Sanjrani is overseeing the program. Under his leadership, over 9 million families are now receiving help—up from 7.6 million last year.
Difference Between BISP and Ehsaas Kafalat
Both programs work together. The Benazir Income Support Program is the mother program, while Ehsaas Kafalat is a sub-program aimed at expanding reach and supporting women specifically.
So even if you’re already on BISP, it’s worth checking your status for Ehsaas Kafalat separately.
