She explained that once a survey has been conducted for a household, it cannot be repeated within a period of two years. The program’s survey process is comprehensive and determines eligibility based on specific criteria.To avoid causing unnecessary inconvenience to the beneficiaries, she advised people not to make repeated requests for surveys or visit BISP centers unless absolutely necessary.

    Fraudulent Calls and Messages to be Reported

     Full Payment Assurance for Beneficiaries

    Appreciating Self-Identification of Ineligible Beneficiaries

    In a positive note, Senator Khalid commended individuals who voluntarily identify themselves as ineligible for BISP assistance. Such actions demonstrate honesty and a commitment to ensuring that the program’s resources are directed towards those who are genuinely in need.The Chairperson encouraged more people to follow this example, emphasizing that BISP’s goal is to help the most vulnerable in society. By reporting ineligibility, individuals help make sure that aid reaches those who truly deserve it, which contributes to the fairness and transparency of the program.
