Which Women Are Being Included In The Program?
As I mentioned at the beginning of the article, BISP has decided to include 1.3 million more women in the Benazir Kafalat Program. In this regard, I am going to provide you with complete details about which women are being included in this program and from when they will be able to get financial assistance. First of all let me tell, those women who had completed their registration a long time ago and whose status on the 8171 web portal was “Under surveillance” have now been decided to be included in the program. As far as getting assistance is concerned, according to the latest updates from BISP, these women will be included in the program before the January-March installment is released, after which they will also be able to get financial assistance.
How Is Eligibility For The Kafalat Program Being Determined?
Many women believe that as soon as their survey is completed and their PMT score is below 32, they are included in the Benazir Kafalat program, but let me clarify for the guidance of such women that this is not the case. For inclusion in the program, not only is the PMT score taken into account, but BISP also completes verification from various institutions, including NADRA, FBR, Immigration Department, Excise and Taxation Department, and Land Records Department, etc. In fact, only after verification from all these institutions is it decided whether the woman concerned is eligible for the program or not. The purpose of this verification is to check whether the woman does not have any kind of vehicle, land, etc., in her name, or whether she has ever traveled abroad. Similarly, it is also mandatory to verify whether the woman or her husband is a government employee.
And when BISP completes the verification from all these institutions and the women are found eligible, then they are made a part of the Benazir Kafalat Program. That is, if a woman meets all the eligibility criteria and is verified by all the relevant institutions, then she is included in the program so that she can benefit from financial assistance.

How To Check Eligibility At Home?
So, if you are also among those women who had completed their registration and their status was coming up as “Under Surveillance” on the 8171 web portal, then you may have also been included in the program. Keeping this in mind, I am providing a complete method to guide such women to check their eligibility from home so that they can know whether they have become a part of the program or not. The method to check your eligibility from home is very easy. For this, first of all, open the 8171 web portal from your mobile or computer. As soon as the portal opens, enter your identity card number in the fields provided there, then enter the captcha code that appears on the screen, and finally click on the “Find Out” button. After that, the complete details regarding your eligibility will appear on your screen, and thus you will be able to know about your eligibility status from home.
