The Government of Pakistan has officially announced that only women who complete the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) dynamic survey will be eligible for the BISP Rs. 13,500 payment in 2026. This condition is especially crucial for newly registered women and those whose CNIC or biometric details are incomplete, expired, or unverified.
Women who have not updated or confirmed their records are strongly advised to take immediate action, as failure to do so may result in temporary or permanent disqualification from the Benazir Income Support Programme.

Why NSER Survey Is Mandatory for BISP Payments
Every year, many deserving women are removed from the BISP beneficiary list due to outdated, incorrect, or missing information. The NSER dynamic survey helps the government ensure that financial assistance reaches only those families who genuinely qualify.
Through this survey, BISP reassesses household conditions and confirms whether beneficiaries still meet eligibility criteria. Completing the NSER survey is not optional—it is a mandatory step to continue receiving financial support.
What Is NSER and Why It Matters
The National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) is a nationwide database that stores essential household information, including:
-
Monthly income
-
Family size
-
Education details
-
CNIC and biometric records
Since family circumstances can change over time—such as income fluctuations, relocation, births, or deaths—these updates must be reflected in the NSER system. If your data does not match official records, your name may be automatically removed from the BISP system.
Who Must Complete the NSER Survey in 2026
You must complete or update your NSER survey if you belong to any of the following categories:
-
Women newly registered through 8171
-
Beneficiaries with expired, mismatched, or unverified CNIC
-
Families with changes in income, address, or household size
-
Women who received an SMS requesting survey completion
-
Beneficiaries previously removed due to biometric issues or incomplete data
If any of these apply to you, updating your records should be your top priority.
Documents Required for NSER and CNIC Update
Before visiting a BISP or NADRA office, make sure you have the following documents:
-
Original Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC)
-
One photocopy of CNIC
-
Supporting documents for any changes (such as:
-
Birth or death certificates
-
Utility bills
-
Proof of income changes
-
Having complete documents helps avoid unnecessary delays or rejection.

Important Biometric Verification Tips
Biometric verification may fail for some women, especially elderly individuals or those involved in manual labour. To improve success:
-
Wash and dry your hands before scanning
-
Avoid using oil, lotion, or henna
-
Try different fingers if one fails
-
If fingerprints repeatedly fail, request alternative verification at a BISP regional office
These steps can save time and prevent repeated visits.

After submission, the verification process usually takes 2 to 4 weeks.
