Why Did You Get a ‘Not Eligible’ Status?

The 8070 Negahban Rashan Program automatically checks your CNIC against multiple databases. A rejection is usually due to one of these reasons:

High Poverty Score: Your household’s Proxy Means Test (PMT) score is above the eligible threshold (often below 30-35).
Asset Mismatch: Your CNIC is linked to assets like a car, large property, or business that disqualifies you.
Income Threshold: Official records show monthly income exceeding the limit (approx. Rs. 60,000).
Outdated PSER Data: Your household has not been surveyed or your details are old in the Punjab Socio-Economic Registry.
Duplicate Benefit: You are already receiving another major government stipend like BISP.
