The Government of Pakistan continues its mission to support low-income families through the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). For the month of June 2025, eligible beneficiaries will receive a payment of Rs. 13,500. However, to ensure you receive your payment without any delays or issues, it’s important to confirm your CNIC and eligibility through the 8171 portal or SMS service.
This article explains the complete process of CNIC verification, how to check payment status, and how to solve common issues step by step.
Why CNIC Verification is Important for BISP?
Your CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) is your identity in the BISP system. Verifying your CNIC is necessary because:
- It confirms that you are the right person to receive the payment.
- It links your CNIC to your household and income information.
- It helps BISP detect and block fraudulent or duplicate claims.
- It keeps your data up to date for future payments and surveys.
