3. Eligibility & How to Check Status

Beneficiaries can verify their eligibility and payment status through two official methods:

8171 Web Portal: Visit 8171.bisp.gov.pk, enter your CNIC (without dashes), and complete the captcha to see your status instantly.
SMS Service: Send your 13-digit CNIC number to 8171. You will receive a reply confirming if you are eligible and if your payment has been released.

4. The "Dynamic Survey" Requirement

New Applicants: If you are not yet registered, you must visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office to complete the NSER Dynamic Survey.
Recertification: Existing beneficiaries whose data is outdated (older than 3 years) may need to recertify their details to continue receiving payments.
Required Documents: Original CNIC, B-Form for children, and electricity/gas bills (for address verification).

5. New Payment Method: The Digital Wallet

For December 2025, BISP has launched a pilot phase for Digital Wallets.

Goal: To eliminate middlemen and illegal deductions.
How it Works: Instead of cash handouts at campsites, payments are transferred directly to a bank-linked digital wallet or a BISP-issued card.
Full Rollout: While currently limited to specific districts, a nationwide rollout is expected by early 2026.

6. Important Deadlines & Instructions

Withdrawal Deadline: Beneficiaries are advised to withdraw their available funds by December 31, 2025, to avoid account freezing or administrative delays as the system transitions to the new year cycle.
Biometric Verification: Fingerprint verification is mandatory at all payment centers (HBL Connect, Bank Alfalah, etc.). If your fingerprints do not match, visit the NADRA office for an update immediately.

7. Conclusion

The December 2025 BISP update brings much-needed financial relief of Rs. 13,500 to millions of households. With the shift toward digital payments and dynamic surveys, the system is becoming faster and more transparent. Beneficiaries should check their status via 8171 today to ensure they don't miss out on their rightful dues.
