According to BISP officials, 8171 is the official number of the program, and messages from any other number should not be trusted.

Officials have warned citizens not to pay any fee to anyone for BISP registration, eligibility, or obtaining money. Eligible individuals can contact the nearest BISP Tehsil Office or NSER Survey for the accuracy of their registration or information.

If any eligible woman or family is deducted from the amount, a complaint should be filed immediately at the BISP Helpline 0800 26477 or the nearest BISP office.
