The NSER January Campaign 2026 is now underway across Pakistan. This dynamic survey is a vital part of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and helps ensure that only truly eligible families receive government financial aid including the popular Ehsaas Kafaalat cash support.
To participate in the survey and confirm your eligibility, you must bring the right documents to your nearest BISP registration center. If your documentation is incomplete or incorrect, your registration may be delayed or even rejected.

Why the NSER Campaign Matters
The National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) is a government database containing household information. It helps BISP decide who qualifies for:
- Monthly cash support (Rs 13,500)
- Double payments (Rs 27,000) for missed cycles
- Special welfare programs for widows, disabled persons, female-headed homes, and the elderly
The January 2026 campaign is especially important because it uses updated data not old records. So, if your household conditions have changed (like income, family size, or assets), this is your chance to update it. NSER August Campaign
