How to Check Desil for Social Assistance in the App

Desil is a group of family welfare measured based on socioeconomic variables, including individual details (occupation, education), housing details (house condition, electricity capacity), and asset ownership. There are 10 desils, each containing 10% of families in Indonesia, where desil 1 represents families with the lowest 10% welfare level, while desil 10 represents families with the highest 10% welfare level.

Desil is dynamic. If it is inaccurate, it can be updated through the village/sub-district and social services or through the Cek Bansos app by submitting data according to the actual conditions. Subsequently, the desil will be recalculated by BPS periodically.

Desil is used to determine the targets for social assistance. Desils 1-4 (the lowest 40%) are the priority recipients for social assistance under PKH and Sembako. Desil 5 can still participate in PBI-JK.

Here is how to check the desil for social assistance in the Cek Bansos app.

  • Download the Cek Bansos Kemensos app from the Play Store or App Store

  • Then, open the app

  • Log in if you already have an account

  • If you do not have an account, select the “Create Account” menu for new users

  • Follow the procedure until the account creation is successful

  • After the account is verified, log in with the registered account

  • In the main menu, select “Profile”

  • Then, information on Family Welfare Ranking appears. The number attached indicates your DTSEN desil status
