The Government of Pakistan, through the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), continues its mission to provide financial relief to deserving families. For the month of June 2025, eligible beneficiaries are entitled to receive a payment of Rs. 13,500.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the complete verification process, explain why CNIC confirmation is crucial, and help you solve common problems beneficiaries face during the disbursement process.
Why CNIC Verification Matters for BISP Payments
The program cross-references your CNIC with the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) to determine your poverty score and verify household details. Without verification, the system may block or delay your payment—even if you were eligible previously.
This process also safeguards the program against fraud and helps the government confirm that support reaches only those truly in need. Regular CNIC verification ensures your family profile remains accurate, especially ahead of scheduled disbursements.
A step-by-step Guide on How to Confirm Eligibility through the 8171 Web Portal.
