National Social Protection Interoperability Platform
One identity instead of ninety cards
Ek Porichoy links the existing NID server with banks, mobile financial services, land, tax, utility and health registries - so the right citizen receives the right support directly, without printing another plastic card.

31%
of wealthy families receive government allowances
How Ek Porichoy works
Your NID is the key
No new card. The EC NID record is the single identity across all programmes.
Registries talk to each other
Land, tax, electricity, vehicle and health data are linked by NID - no door-to-door survey.
Transparent rules decide
Eligibility is computed from published rules, with reasons shown to every citizen.
Money goes straight to you
bKash, Nagad, Rocket or bank - no middlemen, no card, no bribe.
