In July 2025, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) continues to serve millions of low-income families across Pakistan. To improve security and streamline payment access, BISP has reinforced the importance of verifying your BISP card before receiving any new installment. Whether you’re a long-time beneficiary or newly registered under the 8171 system, ensuring your BISP card is verified and active is essential to receiving your payment on time.
This updated guide explains how to quickly verify your BISP card, why verification matters, and the steps you need to follow to avoid payment delays or disqualification.
What Is a BISP Card?
The BISP Card is a government-issued payment tool linked to your CNIC and beneficiary status. It is used to withdraw funds from ATMs, point-of-sale retailers, or BISP partner banks. Verification of this card confirms:
- You are an eligible and active beneficiary
- Your biometric and CNIC information is accurate
- Your payment method is secure and updated
If the BISP card is not verified properly, your payment may be withheld or delayed during the distribution cycle.
