ISLAMABAD – Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) introduced 8171 NADRA Biometric Payment Update 2025, ensuring that financial aid reaches those who genuinely need it. With this cutting-edge system, eligible households can now receive Rs13,500 per quarter, a move that combines transparency, efficiency, and modern technology to eliminate corruption, fake registrations, and double payments.
The landmark initiative that promises to transform the lives of millions of low-income families across Pakistan. This is more than just money, it’s a step toward empowering Pakistan’s most vulnerable citizens.
BISP has always aimed to support families living below the poverty line. With the 2025 update, the process has been digitally upgraded and linked directly to NADRA’s biometric verification system.
This means that before any payment is made, a beneficiary’s fingerprints are scanned and matched with the national database, guaranteeing that only genuine recipients get the aid. The biometric system ensures payments are released instantly and securely, making the distribution process faster and more transparent than ever before.
