Millions of poor families in Pakistan get financial help through the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). But to keep getting this support, your NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) record must be correct and updated.
If your family data is old or wrong, you can be removed from the program – even if you are still poor.
That’s why from 1st to 31st August 2025, the government has started a new NSER update campaign. This guide will help you step-by-step.
What Is NSER?
NSER is a government database that stores information about your family’s:
- Income
- Education
- Health
- Home condition
- Family size
It helps decide if you qualify for BISP, Ehsaas, Nashonuma, or education stipends.
If your NSER record is outdated, you may lose your BISP payments or may not be selected for future aid.
Who Must Update Their NSER Record?
You must update your NSER if:
- You got married or divorced
- A family member died
- Your income changed
- You had a new child
- You moved to a new city or village
- You were marked “ineligible” in 2023–2024
- You think you qualify for BISP but are not receiving money
BISP NSER Update Drive – August 2025
- Start Date: 1st August 2025
- Last Date: 31st August 2025
All BISP families must visit the update center during this time. If you don’t, you may lose your monthly payments.

You can update your record at:
