What is the 8171 BISP NADRA Profile?
The 8171 BISP NADRA Profile is your personal record linked with NADRA and the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). This record includes details like your CNIC number, family members, income status, and more. It helps the government figure out who really needs financial help and ensures that support goes to the right people.
Keeping this profile updated is super important—especially in April 2025, when the payment of up to Rs. 13,500 is scheduled. A small mistake in your profile could delay or even cancel your payment.
