Is 8171 BISP verification notification real? Govt issues clarification
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) issued a public clarification after a fake notification spread online. The organization said the notice contains false information and has no connection with its official system.
According to BISP, the fake notification claims that all beneficiaries must complete verification and submit details through the 8171 portal. The department has clearly stated that no such verification process is currently taking place.
BISP also rejected claims that beneficiaries need to provide mobile wallet information or complete any new online registration. Officials warned that these false messages are being used to mislead people.
The department advised beneficiaries not to trust unverified notices or social media posts. People have been asked to rely only on official BISP announcements for any updates regarding payments or verification.

Fake messages often spread quickly on social media and can confuse beneficiaries. People should always verify information through official BISP sources before taking any action or sharing personal details.
