Government employee families may qualify only if their household poverty score falls within the approved limit and no member holds a high-grade or taxable income position. The Benazir Income Support Programme evaluates eligibility through the PMT system, survey data, and employment records. If income is low, employment is temporary, or records were previously outdated, a fresh survey can change status. Accurate data submission is key to fair assessment.
