The BISP NSER Survey 2025 is the nationwide household update that decides who qualifies for BISP Kafalat cash support. If you want the Rs. 13,500 quarterly stipend, complete 8171 registration, update your details, and check your PMT score — all steps are explained below.
What is the NSER dynamic survey and why it matters
The National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) survey collects up-to-date household data to determine poverty scores and target cash transfers to the neediest families. Participating keeps records current, prevents fraud, and helps the government allocate BISP funds fairly across districts and vulnerable groups.
Who should take part in the 2025 survey
New applicants, existing beneficiaries, and families whose circumstances changed — women heads, widows, disabled persons, and households affected by floods — must complete the survey so their PMT score reflects current need and they remain eligible for Kafalat payments.
How to register — step-by-step (one trip ready)
Visit your nearest BISP registration centre or mobile camp and bring originals. 2) Fill the survey form carefully; officials enter data into NSER. 3) Wait for verification and an 8171 SMS or portal update confirming your status — save that message as proof.
Required documents (table)
| Document | Why it’s needed |
| Original CNIC (female head if possible) | Identity & NADRA verification |
| Photocopy of CNIC(s) | Office records |
| Child B-Form (if applicable) | Dependent registration |
| Recent utility bill / proof of address | Confirm residence |
| Death certificate (for widows) | Special-category verification |
Bring originals and one photocopy of each document to avoid delays.
How to check eligibility — 8171 web & SMS methods
You can instantly verify your status: visit the official 8171 portal and enter your 13-digit CNIC and captcha, or send your CNIC by SMS to 8171 from your registered SIM to receive an automated reply showing Eligible / Pending / Not Eligible. Keep screenshots or SMS replies as proof.
Understanding the PMT score and payments
The Proxy Means Test (PMT) uses household assets, income and living conditions to calculate a poverty score that determines Kafalat eligibility. A lower PMT increases your chance of approval; once eligible, families are paid through bank transfer, wallet or designated payment points, depending on local arrangements.
What to do if you see “No Record” or remain pending
If the portal returns No Record, recheck your CNIC entry, confirm NADRA details, and visit the Tehsil/BISP office with originals. For “Pending”, wait 48–72 hours after survey submission then re-check 8171; keep the office receipt if you updated records in person.
Practical tips to improve your chances
Always provide accurate answers on the NSER form, register under the female household head where possible, keep your mobile active and registered with NADRA, and avoid middlemen — BISP services and registration are free. Use only official portals and the 8171 number to confirm status.
Quick checklist before you go
• Originals: CNIC + proofs.
• One photocopy of each document.
• Registered SIM in your phone.
• Screenshot/SMS proof after registration.
