The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) continues to serve as Pakistan’s leading financial aid initiative for low-income households. As part of an important data update drive, the BISP authority has launched a CNIC re-verification and re-registration campaign in August 2025.
Families receiving BISP funds must ensure their data is current, valid, and properly verified to continue receiving the Rs. 13,500 quarterly payment. This process is mandatory for those who received an SMS from 8171 or whose status shows “Verification Required.”
Who Needs to Re-register for BISP?
Not every beneficiary must visit the office. Only the following should participate:
-
Received an SMS from 8171 requesting re-verification.
-
CNIC is expired or not updated in the NADRA system.
-
Missed previous BISP payments or were marked “under review.”
-
Family status has changed (marriage, relocation, new children).
-
Instructed to update NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) data.
-
First-time applicants or those who missed earlier survey rounds.
If you are receiving your payments regularly and your CNIC is valid, re-registration may not be needed — but checking your status is still wise.
How to Check CNIC Re-registration Status
You can confirm your eligibility or verification need in two official ways:
Method 1: SMS
-
Send your 13-digit CNIC (without dashes) to 8171.
-
You’ll get a reply with your current status.
Method 2: Web Portal
