Why the Bisp Tracking Id Card matters
The Bisp tracking id card (sometimes called the BISP ID or payment card) is how beneficiaries are tracked for cash support under Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). With a valid tracking id card you can:
Confirm your eligibility and upcoming payments.
Collect money from assigned banks or payment points.
Speed up problem resolution when payments are delayed.
BISP now links records to NADRA and uses digital tools (8171 portal) to make tracking easier and more secure.
