Dynamic Survey—What You Need to Know
In 2025, the Dynamic Survey will become a critical part of the registration system. Beneficiaries who have been receiving BISP payments for more than 3 years are required to resubmit their details.

To complete the survey:
- Visit the nearest BISP Tehsil office

How to Receive BISP Payments
Once your registration receives approval, you have the following options for collecting your payments:
- ATMs
- Use HBL or Bank Alfalah ATMs with biometric verification.
- Retail Outlets

- BISP Campsites

- Some beneficiaries will receive payments directly into their bank accounts
Make sure to carry your CNIC at all times, as it is required for verification during payment collection.
What If Biometrics Don’t Work?
In cases where fingerprint or biometric verification fails, such as with elderly or disabled individuals, BISP allows alternative verification:
- Visit NADRA to update your fingerprint data
- Or request manual verification at your BISP office
This guarantees that technical difficulties won’t exclude anyone.
