How to Check Your Eligibility
1. Via SMS (Recommended)
This is the fastest method and does not require an internet connection:
- Open your phone’s messaging app.
- Type your 13-digit CNIC number (without any spaces or dashes).
- Send it to the code relevant to your area (e.g., 9999 for the Federal package or 8070 for Punjab).
- You will receive an automated reply confirming if you are “Eligible,” “Ineligible,” or “Under Verification.”

Eligibility Criteria for 2026
To qualify for these programs, households generally must meet these standards:
- Monthly Income: Total household income should typically be below Rs. 60,000.
- Database Record: Priority is given to families already registered in the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) or BISP database.
- Exclusions: Government employees (higher grades) and active high-income tax filers are usually ineligible.
- Valid Identity: You must have a valid, non-expired CNIC issued by NADRA.
Important Safety Tips
- Registration is Free: All official government relief programs are 100% free. Never pay anyone a “fee” or “commission” for registration or to “guarantee” your payment.
- SIM Ownership: For the SMS check to work, the SIM card should be registered in your own name (the same CNIC you are checking).
- “Record Not Found”: If your data is missing, you may need to update your household survey. Visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office to complete a “Dynamic Survey.”
- Official Sources Only: Only trust websites ending in .gov.pk. Avoid clicking links in WhatsApp messages claiming to offer “Eid Gifts” or “Ramzan Packages” from unofficial sources.
