The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is a vital initiative by the Government of Pakistan aimed at helping underprivileged families through financial assistance. In 2025, BISP beneficiaries can now verify their eligibility and payment status using the 8171 CNIC verification system. Whether you are a new applicant or awaiting your quarterly payment, this guide will show you how to check your CNIC status through the 8171 portal or SMS, and ensure that you receive your BISP funds on time.
Why Is CNIC Verification Important?
Verifying your CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) through the official 8171 system is mandatory to:
- Confirm your eligibility for BISP payments
- Avoid fraud or duplicate entries
- Ensure transparency in fund disbursement
- Receive timely updates on your payment status
- Link your identity with NADRA and government databases
Without CNIC verification, you will not be able to receive your payment even if you were registered in a previous cycle.
