Need to report a blocked payment, biometric failure, or eligibility issue? The Benazir Income Support Programme now offers faster complaint methods in 2026 so beneficiaries can resolve problems without repeated visits. From helpline calls to SMS tracking and in-person support, every channel is designed to reduce delays and improve transparency. If your stipend is pending or status shows “under verification,” using the correct complaint route can speed up resolution. Below is a simple breakdown of all official ways to contact BISP support and what details you must provide.
How to File a Complaint Through BISP Helpline
1. Call the Official Helpline
Dial the BISP support number, share CNIC details, and describe the issue (payment delay, survey status, or fingerprint mismatch).
2. SMS Complaint via 8171
Send your CNIC to 8171 to receive status updates or instructions. It also flags system errors linked to your record.
3. Visit the Nearest BISP Office
Field offices verify biometric or registration data through NADRA records.
| Complaint Method | Best For | Time to Response |
|---|---|---|
| Helpline Call | Urgent payment issues | 24–48 hrs |
| 8171 SMS | Status check | Instant |
| Office Visit | Biometric problems | Same day |
Why These New Methods Matter in 2026
BISP upgraded complaint tracking for quicker case logging, fewer middlemen, and digital record matching. This improves payment release speed and reduces misinformation.
Conclusion
