The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) December 2025 payments are facing delays across several regions in Pakistan due to ongoing beneficiary verification. If your BISP 8171 payment has not been received yet, don’t worry — it’s most likely under identity or eligibility re-verification.
In 2025, the BISP management system started a new digital verification process through NADRA and NSER surveys to ensure that only genuine and eligible beneficiaries continue receiving payments. While this process has caused short-term delays, it aims to improve transparency and prevent duplicate entries in the system.
Here’s everything you need to know about the payment verification process, the reason behind delays, and how to resolve it.
