What is BISP 8171 CNIC Payment Checking System?

The BISP 8171 check system is a special online and SMS-based service. It lets you check:

If your name is on the BISP list
If your payment has been approved
How much money you will get
If your application is still being verified

The 8171 system takes your CNIC number and matches it with the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) database. This helps the government know who really needs support. It also helps you avoid long queues at BISP offices. You can check all your details from home even if you live in a far away village.
