-
Only 8171: BISP never sends messages from personal mobile numbers. If you get a message from a 03xx number, it is a scam.
-
No Registration Fee: If someone asks for “service charges” or “processing fees” to register you, they are a fraud. BISP registration is entirely FREE.
-
Full Payment: When collecting your cash from an agent, always ask for a printed receipt and ensure you receive the full Rs. 13,500.
Why Is My Payment Not Showing?
If the 8171 portal says you are “Ineligible” or “Record Not Found,” it usually means:
-
Your NSER Survey is more than 3 years old (you need to re-survey).
-
Your household income has crossed the threshold.
-
Your CNIC has expired at NADRA.
