How to Check Your BISP Payment Status
Not sure if your payment has been processed? Here’s how you can confirm it in just a few steps:
1. Check SMS from 8171
If you’re eligible, you should receive a confirmation SMS from 8171. This is the official communication line from BISP. Don’t trust any message from other numbers.
2. Visit the 8171 Web Portal
Go to the official 8171 portal and enter your CNIC to view your current payment status. It’s quick and secure.
3. Use Your Mobile Wallet App
If your BISP payments are linked to your mobile wallet (like JazzCash or EasyPaisa), just open the app and check for the latest transaction.
4. Visit the Nearest BISP Center
Still unsure? Head over to your local BISP office and speak with a representative. They’ll confirm your status and guide you if there are any issues.
Important Tip: Stay Alert for Scams
Only trust official communication from 8171. Never reply to suspicious messages asking for your personal information or charging fees for payment disbursal.
