The target population of this research were the beneficiaries affiliated with the Pakistan Baitul Mal regardless of the fat that whether they have received the programs and services in the given time frame or not.

Methodology: The quantitative data collected was on the bases of telephonic surveys which targeted a total of 155 beneficiaries.

The top three influencing factors in this study include the difficulty in application process, monthly household income and employment status.

Implications: The importance of poverty reduction programs along with other welfare plans as a stepping stone towards the most effective welfare state, the significance of Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal can't be denied and therefore the viability of a lawful sponsorship for such projects or organizations has for quite some time been perceived by the policy makers.
