What is BISP 8171 and Why is Biometric Verification Used?
The BISP 8171 system is part of a national initiative that helps low-income families, especially women-led households, widows, disabled individuals, and those with no steady income. It provides quarterly payments that can be used for food, health, and education.
However, in the past, many fake claims and incorrect payments were reported. To stop this, the government partnered with NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority). NADRA uses fingerprint scanning and CNIC verification to ensure that only eligible and verified individuals receive the funds.
This system helps to reduce corruption, increase transparency, and protect the rights of genuine beneficiaries.
