The Government of Pakistan continues its mission to support low-income families through the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). In September 2025, the government began distributing the latest installment of Rs. 13,500 to eligible beneficiaries. This time, the entire payment process is being managed through NADRA’s biometric verification system, making it more transparent, secure, and convenient than ever before.
If you’re a BISP beneficiary or planning to apply, this guide will help you understand everything about the new NADRA Biometric BISP Cash Payment System—how it works, where to collect your funds, and what to do if you face any issues.
What Is the BISP Program?
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is Pakistan’s largest social welfare initiative, launched in 2008 to reduce poverty and help vulnerable families. Each eligible family receives quarterly financial assistance, which helps cover essentials such as food, rent, school fees, and healthcare.
In September 2025, the government announced the latest installment of Rs. 13,500 per family under the BISP 8171 initiative. To make the payment system fair and corruption-free, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced biometric verification for all cash disbursements.
Why Biometric Verification Matters
The new NADRA verification system uses fingerprint scanning to confirm a beneficiary’s identity before releasing payment. This upgrade offers several key benefits:
-
Prevents fraud: Only genuine beneficiaries can withdraw money.
-
Eliminates middlemen: No one else can collect your payment on your behalf.
-
Ensures transparency: Each transaction is linked directly to your CNIC and biometric record.
-
Simplifies access: You only need your CNIC and thumbprint to receive your funds.
This approach has significantly improved the trust and efficiency of the BISP payment process.
