If your 8171 result shows “CNIC verification pending”, complete biometric confirmation and update household data at the nearest center to unlock payments. The system under the Benazir Income Support Programme flags records when fingerprints, survey data, or identity details don’t match. Once corrected, status updates in the next review cycle.
