If your family is not listed in the new NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) Survey 2025, don’t worry — you’re not alone. Thousands of deserving families across Pakistan have encountered this issue due to incomplete records, outdated data, or failure to participate in the initial registration.
This guide explains what you should do step-by-step to ensure your household becomes eligible for BISP and Ehsaas program benefits.
What Is the NSER Survey?
The NSER Survey is a government-run database used to identify low-income and vulnerable families eligible for financial assistance through:
-
Benazir Income Support Program (BISP)
-
Ehsaas Kafalat
-
Taleemi Wazaif
-
Emergency Cash Programs
The latest NSER survey update in 2025 focuses on removing ineligible entries and adding new families based on updated socio-economic conditions.
Why Your Family May Not Be Listed
Here are the most common reasons your family might be missing from the updated NSER list:
-
You didn’t complete the dynamic survey in 2023–2024.
-
Your CNIC is expired or unverified.
-
You’ve moved to a new area and your address wasn’t updated.
-
You were disqualified due to property, income, or vehicle ownership.
-
Your PMT (Poverty Means Test) score was above the eligible threshold.
Step-by-Step Guide: What to Do Next
1. Visit Your Nearest BISP Tehsil Office
Start by visiting the BISP or Ehsaas Registration Center in your city or district. Bring:
-
Original CNIC (yours and your spouse’s)
-
Children’s B-Forms
-
Proof of residence (utility bill or rent agreement)
-
Mobile number (must be registered in your name)
2. Request a New NSER Dynamic Survey
Ask the staff to add your family into the system. They will conduct a dynamic survey which includes:
-
Household income
-
Family size

Employment details
-
Property & assets (if any)
3. Ensure Your CNIC is Valid
Expired or unverified CNICs lead to automatic disqualification. Renew your CNIC at the NADRA office and ensure it is biometrically verified.
4. Keep Checking Your Status
After submission, track your status by:
-
Sending your CNIC (without dashes) to 8171
-
Using the 8171 Web Portal
