In 2025, the Government of Pakistan introduced new eligibility criteria under the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP 8171) to support previously ineligible people. These updates revolve around the revised PMT score threshold — a crucial change that will help more deserving families receive financial aid.
یہ نیا اقدام خاص طور پر اُن خاندانوں کو فائدہ پہنچائے گا جو پہلے PMT اسکور کی وجہ سے مستحق نہیں ٹھہرے تھے۔ حکومت کا مقصد یہی ہے کہ زیادہ سے زیادہ غریب اور مستحق خاندانوں کو مالی امداد فراہم کی جائے تاکہ مہنگائی کے اس دور میں ان کی مشکلات کم ہو سکیں۔
پاکستان میں غربت کم کرنے کے لیے BISP کا یہ نیا ضابطہ اس بات کو یقینی بناتا ہے کہ وہ لوگ جو ماضی میں نظر انداز ہو چکے تھے، اب اس پروگرام سے فائدہ اُٹھا سکیں گے۔ اس کا مطلب ہے لاکھوں ایسے خاندانوں کو مدد ملے گی جو روز بروز بڑھتی مہنگائی کا سامنا کر رہے ہیں۔
