- Provide a valid 13‑digit CNIC number.
- Demonstrate need based on economic conditions, household size, and income.
- Complete a Basic Health and Social Needs (BHSN) assessment through official survey channels.
For existing beneficiaries, eligibility persists if:
- Your BHSN assessment remains valid (usually conducted annually).
- Your household composition and income haven’t shifted outside the low‑income threshold since last evaluation.
- You have no new disqualifying circumstances, such as receiving a civil service pension or owning land above the eligibility limit.
Eligibility reviews this August 2025 wave have become more automated: data from recent field surveys, household registration updates, and digital audits now feed directly into the 8171 Web Portal. That means if you’re still listed as eligible, your payment status will appear almost immediately once disbursement begins.
