Dynamic Survey Re-Opens
Dynamic Survey Re-Opens: The Government of Pakistan has announced the reopening of the 8171 Dynamic Survey for the Benazir Kafalat Program. This step allows new families and previously disqualified individuals to register and become eligible for the upcoming February and March 2026 installment, which has been increased to Rs. 13,500. All BISP tehsil offices across Punjab, Sindh, KPK, and Balochistan are now accepting applications, giving citizens a chance to secure financial assistance.
This initiative ensures that no deserving household is left out and encourages families to update their socio-economic data to remain eligible. The dynamic survey system allows real-time updates, enabling beneficiaries to reflect any changes in their family structure or financial situation. By modernizing registration and disbursement processes, the government aims to provide timely support and reduce difficulties for vulnerable communities.
Understanding the 8171 Dynamic Survey
The 8171 Dynamic Survey is the backbone of BISP registration. Unlike old surveys that were manually collected door-to-door, the dynamic survey is a digital system managed at local BISP tehsil offices. This approach ensures accurate, real-time records for families seeking assistance.
The survey is called “dynamic” because it allows households to update their information whenever changes occur. For example, a family can revise their data if they experience job loss, welcome a new child, or face other significant financial changes. This keeps the registry accurate and helps eligible families receive the necessary support.
Who Should Participate in the Survey?
Families eligible for registration include both new applicants and previously disqualified households. The program also allows updates for existing participants who have outdated information.
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| New Families | Households that have never been registered under BISP or the Ehsaas Program |
| Previously Disqualified | Families whose previous Poverty Means Test (PMT) score may now fall below 32 |
| Status Updates | Widows, persons with disabilities, or families with newly born children needing updates |
| Data Refresh | Households that have not updated NSER information in the last three years |
Participation ensures that eligible families are considered for the February 2026 installment. Proper registration is essential to receive timely financial assistance.
