What Are BISP Smart Cards and Where Did the Rumors Start?
BISP Smart Cards are described in viral messages as high-tech ATM-enabled cards linked to the beneficiary’s CNIC. These cards allegedly allow people to withdraw their Rs. 13,500 aid directly. However, these claims are not verified by BISP or any official source. Many of these rumors seem to be part of fraud schemes targeting low-income families.
2025 میں بی آئی ایس پی اسمارٹ کارڈز کے حوالے سے مختلف افواہیں گردش کر رہی ہیں، جن میں دعویٰ کیا گیا ہے کہ حکومت نے مستحق افراد کو اے ٹی ایم کے ذریعے رقم کی فراہمی کے لیے نئے کارڈ جاری کیے ہیں۔ لیکن حقیقت یہ ہے کہ اس بارے میں حکومت کی طرف سے کوئی تصدیق یا باضابطہ اعلان سامنے نہیں آیا۔
Program Overview

8171 Code Is Still the Only Official Way
The government’s 8171 SMS service remains the only authorized channel to check eligibility, registration, and payment information under BISP. No official message or notification regarding BISP Smart Cards has been sent from 8171. If you’ve received such claims from private WhatsApp groups or unknown numbers, consider them suspicious.

BISP 13500 Payment Not Dependent on Smart Cards
Many believe that to receive the Rs. 13,500 quarterly payment, they need to get a BISP Smart Card. This is completely false. BISP continues to deliver payments through registered banks and campsites. There is no requirement for any smart card to receive or withdraw this amount.
8171 وہی واحد سرکاری ذریعہ ہے جس کے ذریعے آپ بی آئی ایس پی سے متعلق اپنی معلومات حاصل کر سکتے ہیں۔ اگر کوئی فرد آپ کو بی آئی ایس پی اسمارٹ کارڈ کا لالچ دے کر ذاتی معلومات یا فیس مانگے، تو فوری طور پر ہوشیار ہو جائیں کیونکہ یہ ایک واضح فراڈ ہے۔
Signs You Might Be Dealing with a Fake BISP Smart Card Offer
If someone offers you a BISP Smart Card and asks for personal data or money, it is likely a scam. Here’s how to spot it:
- They request a CNIC and fingerprint verification outside BISP centers
- They promise “quick approval” or “immediate card delivery” for a fee
- They claim they’re affiliated with BISP but cannot show any official ID

What Has BISP Officially Said About Smart Cards?
As of now, no public or press announcement has been made by BISP confirming the launch of any smart card system in 2025. All legitimate changes to the payment or registration process are shared through verified platforms like the BISP website, the 8171 portal, or official media. If smart cards are introduced in the future, the government will issue an official update.
Real Way to Register and Get Payments in 2025
If you’re a new applicant, you must go through the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) process. This determines your eligibility based on income, family size, and other socio-economic data. Once you’re registered:
- Visit the 8171 portal to confirm your status
- Collect payments through authorized banks or camp points
- Keep your CNIC safe and don’t share it with unauthorized persons
Is There a Future for BISP Smart Cards?
The idea of smart cards isn’t entirely unlikely. In the future, the government may modernize the system with biometric or card-based withdrawals. However, as of July 2025, this remains a rumor, not a fact. Until a verified update is provided, stick to existing methods.

ابھی تک بینظیر انکم سپورٹ پروگرام کی طرف سے کوئی اسمارٹ کارڈ جاری نہیں کیے گئے۔ مستحق افراد کو ان کی امدادی رقم پرانی طریقہ کار کے مطابق دی جا رہی ہے۔ جعلی کارڈز اور غیر سرکاری افراد کے دعوے محض دھوکہ دہی کا ذریعہ ہیں، جن سے بچنا ضروری ہے۔
What to Do If You’ve Already Been Targeted
If you’ve shared information or paid money for a fake BISP Smart Card, report the incident immediately to your local BISP office. Also:
- Lodge a complaint with the FIA Cyber Crime Wing
- Warn others in your community
- Never pay any fee for registration or card delivery
Conclusion
To summarize, BISP Smart Cards do not exist officially in 2025, despite what online rumors suggest. The BISP program continues to operate through its trusted channels, including 8171 and designated payment partners. Always be cautious when it comes to new announcements that haven’t been verified by the government. If and when BISP Smart Cards become real, the public will be informed through proper, secure platforms.
