NSER Survey 2025: Complete Guide to Biometric & CNIC Update for BISP Support
If you’re part of the BISP or Ehsaas program, it’s important to keep your NSER Survey (National Socio-Economic Registry) data updated. This includes your CNIC and biometric verification. Without it, your support payments may be stopped.
What is the NSER Survey (National Socio-Economic Registry) ?
The NSER database helps the Government of Pakistan decide who should receive financial aid. It records:
- Your CNIC number
- Household income
- Family size
- Education level
- Biometric data (fingerprints)
If your information is old or incorrect, you may not qualify for payments anymore.

Why CNIC & Biometric Update is Needed
Many beneficiaries get removed from the program because:
- Their CNIC is expired or unverified
- Their fingerprints don’t match
- They changed address or income, and didn’t update the record
So, updating both CNIC and biometric info in the NSER system is a must.
