A New Hope for Low-Income Families
The 8171 Web Portal has become even more helpful in July 2025. The government of Pakistan has introduced new updates to make it easier for poor families to check their BISP status, register for support, and receive payments. Whether you live in a city or a remote village, the upgraded portal now gives you better access, more clarity, and less stress when applying for or receiving financial aid.
Who Can Use the 8171 Portal?
The portal is open to families already registered in the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER). If you are a widow, single mother, elderly person, or living with a disability, and your household income is very low, you may qualify for help under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP).
You must have a valid CNIC, and your details should match the NSER database. If you’re unsure, just visit the official site or send your CNIC number via SMS to 8171.
What’s New in the July 2025 Update?
The latest update is designed with simplicity in mind. Here are some key features:
-
Instant CNIC Checks: Enter your CNIC and know your eligibility status in seconds.
-
Multi-Language Support: Now available in Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi, and more for better understanding.
-
Online Complaint System: Fix issues like incorrect data or payment problems without going to the office.
-
Live Payment Tracking: See real-time updates on your Rs. 14,500 payment.
-
Larger Payments: In July 2025, the BISP payment has increased to Rs. 14,500 per quarter to help fight inflation.
These upgrades mean you don’t have to stand in long lines or pay agents to help you. Everything is available online or by mobile.
How to Check Your Status or Register
If you’re not already receiving support, or you want to check if your next payment is ready, follow these simple steps:
-
Go to the official portal: https://8171.bisp.gov.pk
-
Enter your 13-digit CNIC number
-
Complete the security CAPTCHA
-
Click Submit and wait a few seconds
Your result will show if you’re eligible, not eligible, or under verification. You can also send your CNIC in an SMS to 8171 and receive the result on your phone.
If you’re not registered, you may need to complete the Dynamic Survey by visiting the nearest BISP office with your CNIC and family details.
How to Collect Your Rs. 14,500 Payment
Once your payment status shows “Ready,” you can collect the amount through two main methods:
-
ATM Withdrawal: Use your BISP card at an HBL ATM. Insert the card, verify your fingerprint, and withdraw the money.
-
BISP Cash Centers: Take your original CNIC to the nearest payment center. Get your identity verified, receive your payment, and take a printed receipt.
Important Tip: Never pay agents or give your CNIC to anyone you don’t trust. All services are free.
Stay Safe & Avoid Common Mistakes
Here are a few things to remember:
-
Don’t share your CNIC or SMS code with anyone.
-
Avoid middlemen—registration and payments are completely free.
-
Save your confirmation messages.
-
If anything feels suspicious, call the official BISP helpline: 0800-26477.
