The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has made NADRA biometric verification mandatory for all eligible recipients in August 2025. This important step ensures that only genuine and deserving individuals receive the Rs. 13,500 quarterly payment under the BISP 8171 initiative. The government, in collaboration with NADRA, has introduced high-resolution fingerprint scanners and mobile biometric vans to make this process smoother and more accessible across Pakistan.
Why Biometric Verification Is Necessary?
Biometric verification adds a layer of security and helps eliminate:
-
Fake or duplicate registrations
-
Fraudulent transactions
-
Unauthorized claims on someone else’s CNIC
This ensures that only the rightful beneficiary gets access to the BISP financial support, directly and transparently.
Step-by-Step Biometric Verification Process
Here’s how you can complete your BISP biometric verification in August 2025:
-
Visit your nearest NADRA or BISP center with your original CNIC.
-
Place your thumb or fingers on the biometric scanner for fingerprint matching.
-
If successful, you’ll get an SMS confirmation from 8171 regarding your eligibility and payment release.
-
Head to the nearest cash center or payment partner (like HBL Konnect, Bank Alfalah, or JazzCash) to collect your funds.
⚠ Tip: Make sure your fingers are clean, dry, and free from henna for better scanning accuracy.
