Introduction: What is the Dynamic Survey?
In 2025, the Government of Pakistan has once again launched the Dynamic Survey as part of its ongoing effort to ensure transparency, fairness, and updated eligibility in the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) and the Ehsaas Program. If you’re hearing the term for the first time or unsure how it affects you, you’re not alone.
The Dynamic Survey is an advanced method of re verifying your eligibility for receiving social security payments. Unlike previous surveys that were conducted once and considered final for years, this updated survey allows the government to collect life time data about a household’s financial and living conditions.
This article provides a complete guide on what the Dynamic Survey is, why it matters in 2025, and how you can complete the process properly to ensure uninterrupted or restored financial aid.
Why the Dynamic Survey is Being Conducted in 2025?
Many beneficiaries of BISP and other government assistance programs were declared ineligible due to outdated or incorrect information. Some faced stopped payments, others never got a chance to apply properly. The Dynamic Survey 2025 is being carried out to:
- Update household information (income, family size, expenses)
- Re-check eligibility for those previously declared ineligible
- Restore payments that were stopped
- Register new deserving families that were not included before
- Eliminate errors, duplications, and fraudulent cases
Who Needs to Participate in the Dynamic Survey?
Not everyone is required to take this survey again. The government has clearly identified who must participate:
1. Previously Ineligible Households
If you or someone in your family applied for BISP or Ehsaas in the past and were declared “Na Ahil”, you now have a fresh chance. The new survey may find you eligible based on changed circumstances.
2. Households with Stopped Payments
If your Rs. 13,500 quarterly payment under the Kafalat Program was stopped recently, this survey is your path to resume payment.
3. People Who Got SMS from 8171
Those who receive a message from 8171 are being officially called by the government to complete the Dynamic Survey. If you received this message, you must go to the nearest BISP office immediately.
4. People Who Have Never Been Surveyed
If you think you now meet the criteria but were never part of any survey, you can self-enroll by visiting the BISP registration center and requesting your inclusion.
Required Documents for Dynamic Survey
When going for your Dynamic Survey registration, you must carry the following documents:
- Original CNIC (for all adult household members)
- B-Form of your children (from NADRA)
- Electricity or Gas Bill (for residence verification)
- Proof of income or employment, if available
- Disability certificate, if applicable
Make sure all documents are original and up to date to avoid delays or rejection.
How to Register for the Dynamic Survey 2025?
Follow these steps for successful registration in the Dynamic Survey:
Step 1: Check for SMS Notification
If you receive an SMS from 8171, it means you’ve been selected for re verification. Keep your CNIC ready.
Step 2: Visit Your Nearest BISP Tehsil Office
Go to the official BISP Tehsil Office or registration center in your district. You can find the list of centers on www.bisp.gov.pk.
Tip: Go early in the morning to avoid long queues.
Step 3: Complete the Interview
A BISP official will ask you questions related to:
- Number of family members
- Monthly income and expenses
- Employment status
- Disability (if any)
- Type of residence (owned/rented)
- Education of family members
Answer all questions truthfully and clearly. The government cross-checks data with NADRA and other databases, so false answers may lead to disqualification.
Step 4: Receive the Registration Slip
Once your data is recorded, you’ll receive a survey receipt or token. Keep this safe, as you may need it for future tracking.
How to Check Dynamic Survey Status?
Once your survey is complete, here’s how to check the status of your registration or eligibility:
✅ Method 1: 8171 Web Portal
Go to the 8171 BISP Portal:
https://8171.bisp.gov.pk
Enter your CNIC number and captcha code to see if you are now eligible for the payment.
✅ Method 2: SMS Your CNIC
Send your 13-digit CNIC number via SMS to 8171 (without dashes). You will get a response telling you:
- Whether you’re eligible
- If your application is still under review
- If you need to visit the office again
What to Do If You Are Still Declared Ineligible?
Even after completing the survey, some people may still receive a “Na Ahil” status. Here’s what you can do:
- Recheck all your documents with NADRA. Make sure no spelling or family errors exist.
- Visit the BISP office again and ask for manual review.
- Submit a grievance or complaint using the BISP helpline: 0800-26477.
- Wait 30–45 days for the full data verification cycle to complete.
