Lists of People Registered in Ehsaas Programme Released 2025. The Government of Pakistan has announced that the lists of people registered in the Ehsaas Programme have now been released for 2025. Through this article we’ll cover what this means for applicants, how you can check your name, how registration works, and the eligibility criteria. We’ll also include frequently asked questions (FAQs) to help clarify common concerns.
What is the Ehsaas Programme?
Ehsaas Programme is a flagship social safety net initiative launched by the Government of Pakistan in 2019. It is designed to provide financial support and welfare services to low-income, vulnerable households via a number of sub-schemes (cash transfers, scholarships, food subsidies, etc.).
Lists of Registered People Released
The recent announcement: the lists of people who have registered for the Ehsaas Programme in 2025 are now publicly available. This means:
- Applicants who submitted their information are now able to check whether their name appears in the official list of registered applicants.
- If your name appears, you can then check further: are you eligible? Have you been approved? When will the payment or benefit be disbursed?
- If your name does not appear, you are encouraged to verify your registration status (or re-register if registration is still allowed) and ensure all required steps have been completed.
Why this matters
- Visible listing means transparency: people can verify via official channels and reduce fraudulent claims.
- Those listed have been through initial registration — now the eligibility verification and benefit disbursement steps begin.
- For households waiting to be registered or awaiting disbursement, the listing provides a clear “check-point” to see if they made the list.
- It also signals the Government’s commitment to scaling up support in 2025 (e.g., via increased payment amounts, easier access). For example, the quarterly payment amount under one sub-scheme is reported in 2025 as Rs 13,500.

Registration Process: How to Get on the List

- You may also be asked to complete biometric verification or attend a survey if required.
What the 2025 Listing Means for Beneficiaries
- Those whose names appear: you are eligible for further verification and payment scheduling.
- Those whose names do not appear: you may still be able to register, but you are not yet listed, so you must act quickly to ensure you’re included.
- The listing signals the programme is entering a disbursement phase — so timely action is important.
- For people already registered and showing listed status: monitor for payment alerts, ensure your bank/account details are correct, avoid scams using fake portals or SMS.

FAQs
- How can I check if my name is on the Ehsaas registered list for 2025?
You can check online via the official portal or by sending your CNIC to 8171 SMS service. - What if I’m registered but not eligible?
If you’re registered and on the list but marked “not eligible”, check if your household details, assets, income or other parameters exceed programme thresholds and, if required, update or appeal. - When will I receive the payment after being on the list?
Once your name is listed and eligibility is confirmed, you’ll receive a payment schedule via SMS. For many households in 2025, payments under certain sub-schemes are quarterly (e.g., Rs 13,500) or one-time lump sums (e.g., Rs 25,000 emergency relief). - Can I apply now if I wasn’t registered earlier?
Yes — if registration is still open in your region, you may visit the nearest registration centre or apply via official online channels. However, being early increases your chances of being included in the next disbursement cycle. - How do I avoid fraud or fake portals claiming Ehsaas payments?
Use only official channels: send CNIC to 8171, use the official portal linked from the Government of Pakistan website or the BISP/Ehsaas official site. Avoid sharing CNIC on suspicious sites/apps.
