Newly married women can qualify by updating marital status, completing the NSER survey, and verifying biometrics. Under the Benazir Income Support Programme, eligibility is based on the new household’s poverty score, income level, and family size. If your CNIC still shows old family data, updating records improves approval chances. The system now reviews household shifts like marriage, relocation, or income change to ensure accurate support targeting.
