The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially launched the CNIC Reverification campaign ahead of the upcoming October–December 2025 installment. This reverification is mandatory for selected beneficiaries to ensure they continue to receive the quarterly financial assistance of Rs. 13,500 without disruption.
To secure your payment, you must complete your CNIC reverification process before the final deadline: October 31, 2025. In this article, we explain everything you need to know about the process, eligibility, how to reverify, and how to collect your payment once verified.
Why CNIC Reverification Is Important
BISP has introduced this reverification to improve data accuracy and prevent fraud. Over time, many records become outdated due to CNIC renewals, household changes, or missed surveys. Verifying your CNIC ensures your data matches NADRA records and confirms that only eligible families remain in the program.
This verification process is not just a routine formality it’s a crucial step for:
- Removing ineligible or duplicate entries
- Ensuring transparency in payment distribution
- Confirming genuine need-based beneficiaries
- Preventing misuse of government funds
By completing your reverification, you are helping the program stay clean, fair, and focused on those who truly need assistance.
