The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is Pakistan’s largest welfare initiative helping low-income families, especially women and children, with quarterly cash stipends. But document verification is a must in 2025 — without it, even deserving beneficiaries may face payment delays, holds, or disqualification.

🔍 Why Document Verification is So Important
Every year, BISP updates its records to ensure:
✔️ Only genuinely deserving households receive funds
✔️ Fraudulent or duplicate claims are removed
✔️ NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) stays accurate
✔️ CNIC and NADRA records match your family’s current details
If you skip this step, your CNIC may show “Verification Pending” or “Ineligible” when you send it to 8171.
