June 2025 Reverification: Why It’s Important
Even if you were previously receiving support through BISP, the June 2025 payment requires beneficiaries to go through a reverification process. This is to ensure that the financial support reaches only those who still qualify.
To complete reverification, you may need to:
-
Update your CNIC and household data
-
Provide updated income or employment information
-
Complete biometric verification at the nearest BISP center
Failing to complete this step can result in delayed or blocked payments.
Step-by-Step Guide for Reverification Process
Here’s how you can reverify your eligibility:
-
Visit the 8171 web portal or nearest BISP office.
-
Enter or provide your CNIC number.
-
If prompted, upload supporting documents or visit a NADRA office to update your family or income details.
-
In some cases, a biometric fingerprint scan may be required.
-
Once verified, your status will be updated, and your payment will be scheduled.
Always ensure your mobile number is active and registered to receive confirmation messages from BISP.
When to Visit a BISP Office
While online and SMS services are convenient, certain situations may require a visit to the BISP center:
-
If your CNIC is not recognized or shows errors
-
If you haven’t received a confirmation despite being eligible
-
If your biometric verification has failed
-
If you’re asked to submit additional documentation
Carry the following when visiting:
-
Original CNIC
-
Copy of CNIC (in case needed)
-
Any relevant income or family documents
-
BISP registration slip (if available)
The staff will help you resolve any issues and ensure you’re added or retained in the updated system.

Monthly household income is higher than the poverty threshold
-

-
Failure to reverify during scheduled updates
-
Involvement in government employment or pension schemes
Make sure to update your records with NADRA or BISP to avoid future disqualifications.
