The BISP Beneficiaries List 2026 has undergone a major digital overhaul. As of February 2026, the government has transitioned to a “Cluster-Based Distribution System” involving six major banks and digital wallets (JazzCash/Easypaisa). This update ensures that the current quarterly installment of Rs. 13,500 (with some regions already seeing the newly approved Rs. 14,500 budget increase) reaches only verified, active households.
If your payment has stopped or you haven’t received an SMS, you may have been moved to the “Recertification Required” list.
BISP Beneficiary List Updates (February 2026)
The 2026 list is no longer a static document; it is a Real-Time Dynamic Registry. This means your eligibility is checked every month against NADRA and utility bill records.
| 2026 Key Update | What It Means for You |
| Recertification Deadline | Beneficiaries registered before 2021 must re-survey or face 3-year removal. |
| New Payment Partners | Money is now sent via HBL, Bank of Punjab, Bank Alfalah, JazzCash, and Easypaisa. |
| Digital Wallet Integration | You can now link your payment directly to a mobile wallet to avoid queues. |
| PMT Score Audit | Households with electricity bills averaging over Rs. 8,000 are being removed. |
| Nigehban Integration | All BISP beneficiaries are automatically eligible for the Ramzan Relief Package. |
How to Check Your Name in the 2026 Updated List

Understanding 2026 Status Messages
- Eligible – Payment Released: Your Rs. 13,500 is ready. You can withdraw it from an ATM or your mobile wallet.
- Survey Required / Recertification: Your data is 3+ years old. You must visit a BISP Tehsil Office with your original CNIC and children’s B-Forms to stay on the list.
- Wallet Not Registered: You are eligible, but you must link a SIM registered in your own name to receive the “Direct-to-Wallet” transfer.
- Ineligible (High PMT): Your household wealth ranking has increased beyond the threshold (usually due to high utility bills or vehicle ownership).
What to Do If Your Name is Missing from the List
If you were previously receiving money but are no longer on the list, follow these “Recovery Steps”:
- Check Your SIM: Ensure your mobile SIM is registered on your own CNIC. BISP 2026 protocols block payments to mismatched SIM-CNIC profiles.
- Visit Dynamic Registry Center: Go to your nearest BISP Tehsil Office and request a “Dynamic Survey.” Bring a recent electricity bill to prove your household status.
- Appeal Your PMT Score: If you believe you were wrongly disqualified, you can file an appeal at the BISP office by providing proof of income (or lack thereof).
