Solution: Submit a written grievance application at your nearest BISP office with CNIC and proof of income.
❌ Problem: Delay in Payment Showing
Solution: Sometimes the system updates late. Wait 48 hours or check via SMS method.
BISP Mobile App vs Web Portal – Which is Better for CNIC Check?
Some people ask if there’s a BISP mobile app available. So far, the official method is still the 8171 web portal. A few third-party apps exist, but they are not officially verified by BISP.
Here’s a quick comparison to guide you:
Feature | BISP Web Portal (8171) | BISP App (Unofficial) |
Official Source | ✅ Yes | ❌ Not confirmed |
CNIC Check | ✅ Available | ❌ May not work properly |
Data Privacy | ✅ Safe | ⚠️ Risk of misuse |
Easy Access | ✅ From any browser | ❌ App installation needed |
So for now, it’s better to stick to the web portal for checking eligibility, updates, or payment status. It’s safe, free, and regularly updated by the government.
