Thousands of women in Pakistan rely on the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) to meet daily household needs. In May 2025, BISP started releasing the latest Rs. 13,500 payment, but many eligible women are not getting it.
The reason? They missed the required NSER survey update. 😟
If you’re one of them, don’t panic! This guide will show you exactly how to fix it and restart your payments.

🧾 Why Is the NSER Survey So Important?
The NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) is a national survey used by the government to gather info about:
📌 Family income
📌 Number of dependents
📌 Education level
📌 Health and disability info
👉 If your survey is older than 3 years, BISP might show your status as:
-
“Under Verification”
-
“Verification Required”
-
Or even “Not Eligible”
That’s why BISP is now blocking payments for those with outdated survey records.
