BISP Payment Problems Beneficiaries May Face

What to Do if Your District Is Still Not Included
If your district is not yet added, don’t lose hope. Continuously check your CNIC status on the 8171 portal. Also, visit the nearest BISP office to ask when your area may be covered. Meanwhile, make sure your household is registered in NSER (National Socioeconomic Registry) so that once the area is included, payments start without delay.
How BISP Helps Reduce Poverty
BISP’s quarterly cash support of Rs. 13,500 does more than just provide cash assistance. It helps families buy essentials, support children’s schooling, and access healthcare. Giving payments to women empowers them, and local spending can support small businesses and local economies. Over time, this helps reduce inequality and builds a safety net for the poorest.
