If you’re one of the many awaiting the new BISP 8171 payments, good news is here! Payments have officially started for beneficiaries in 8 newly included districts under Cluster 11. If you or someone you know lives in one of these districts, keep reading to find out how much you’ll get, how to collect it, and what to do to ensure a smooth process.
Which Districts Are Included in This Phase?
Here are the 8 districts where payments have started under Cluster 11:
-
Kashmore
-
Lehri
-
Dera Bugti
-
Kohlu
-
Kark
-
Lahore
-
Hafizabad
-
Khanewal
If you belong to any of these areas and are registered with BISP, your payment has already been deposited into your account.
How Much Money Will You Receive?
The big question on everyone’s mind is — how much money will I get?
If you’re a regular beneficiary of the Benazir Kafalat Program, you’ll receive:
-
Rs 13,500 as cash assistance for the current quarter.
But that’s not all! If your children are also registered under the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif (education stipend) program, you may be eligible for additional payments based on their class and gender.
Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Amounts (Per Child, Per Month)
-
Primary School
-
Boys: Rs 1,500
-
Girls: Rs 2,000
-
-
Middle School
-
Boys: Rs 2,500
-
Girls: Rs 3,000
-
-
Matric (High School)
-
Boys: Rs 3,500
-
Girls: Rs 4,000
-
Since the payments are quarterly, multiply these amounts by 3 to get your actual payout. So, in addition to Rs 13,500, a woman could receive anywhere between Rs 4,500 to Rs 16,000 or more, depending on the number and class of her children.

Tips for a Smooth Payment Collection
To avoid delays or problems, keep these important tips in mind:
Bring Valid CNIC
Your ID card must be valid and not expired. It’s mandatory for fingerprint verification.
Leave Kids at Home
Even if your children are getting stipends, you don’t need to take them with you.

Be Patient with Biometric Verification
If your fingerprint doesn’t work the first time, try again. Often, it takes multiple attempts.
Understand Your Total Payment
Before going to the campsite, calculate your expected total. This includes your Rs 13,500 and the education stipends, so you know exactly how much to collect.
Double Check Before Leaving
Once you get your payment, complete the exit screening process. It ensures that your transaction is recorded and avoids future issues.
