BISP Registration 2026: What Is Online, What Needs the Tehsil Office
BISP has no online registration form. New households register through a free survey at the Benazir Registration Desk in their BISP tehsil office (or a mobile registration van). Take your original CNIC and your children’s B-forms. Online, you can only check eligibility on 8171.bisp.gov.pk or by SMS to 8171.

Find your registration centre
NADRA publishes the list of BISP survey centres. BISP lists its tehsil offices with addresses and phone numbers.
🔒 Official links – open NADRA and BISP websites. Rozgar for Youth never asks for your CNIC.
- Only 8171 is real. BISP sends messages only from 8171. Calls or SMS from any other number about “your payment” are fake.
- No fee, no form. Registration and surveys are free and no survey form is needed. Anyone asking for money to “add you” or “restore” you is a fraudster.
- Fake apps. We could not find any BISP app for checking eligibility or payments. Apps on Play Store using the 8171 name are not BISP’s – some say so themselves. Never type your CNIC into them.
- Deductions. You must receive the full amount. Count it before you leave and report any cut to the BISP tehsil office or helpline 0800-26477.
- Your phone and SIM stay with you. Never hand your phone or Benazir SIM to a retailer or agent. Withdrawal needs only your original CNIC and fingerprint or registered number.

What each result means after registering
| What the result tells you | What it means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Eligible / your household is in the programme | Your household’s survey score is within the cut-off and you are on the Kafaalat list. | Keep your Benazir SIM active. When money reaches your wallet you get an SMS from 8171. Then withdraw with your original CNIC. |
| Not eligible | Your household was surveyed but its poverty score (PMT) is above the cut-off of 32 (37 if a family member is disabled), or an exclusion rule applied. | If your circumstances have got worse, ask the BISP tehsil office about a re-survey. A household cannot be re-surveyed within two years of its last survey. |
| No record / survey not done | Your CNIC is not in the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER). | Go to the Benazir Registration Desk at your BISP tehsil office for a free survey. See BISP registration. |
| Survey or information update needed | Your household data is missing, old or does not match NADRA (for example a missing B-form or expired CNIC). | Correct the record at NADRA first if needed, then visit the tehsil office to update your household data. |
| Under process / verification | Your survey or update is being checked against NADRA records. | Wait and check again later. Do not pay anyone to “speed it up”. |
