The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has begun disbursing the July 2025 installment under the 8171 Kafaalat initiative, providing Rs. 13,500 to eligible women across Pakistan. To receive the payment, verification of your CNIC through NADRA is essential. Whether you’re a new applicant or a previously registered beneficiary, proper verification of your Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) is the first step to ensure you qualify and receive your payment without delays.
This article provides a complete, current, and easy-to-follow guide on how to verify your 8171 BISP eligibility using NADRA-issued CNIC both online and offline in July 2025.
Why NADRA CNIC Verification Matters for BISP 8171 Payments
The NADRA-issued CNIC is the official identification document required for verification under the BISP system. The 8171 portal checks your details against national databases including NADRA and NSER to determine eligibility.

If your CNIC is not verified, expired, blocked, or incorrectly recorded, you will not be able to receive the Rs. 13,500 payment for July. Verifying or updating your data is essential to continue receiving quarterly installments.
