Stay Connected to BISP Payments in 2025
The 8171 Web Portal is a key tool for low-income families in Pakistan who receive financial help through the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). This online platform helps you confirm your CNIC and check whether your payments are approved, delayed, or sent.
If you’re part of the Ehsaas Kafalat, 8171 BISP, or any emergency relief program, it’s very important to confirm your CNIC regularly. This ensures that your payments are not stopped or delayed.
What is the 8171 Web Portal?
The 8171 web portal (https://8171.pass.gov.pk) is a government-run website that allows eligible citizens to:
-
Confirm if their CNIC is registered in the BISP database.
-
Check if any payment is due.
-
Know where and how to collect money.
-
Update or fix information if there are errors.
It is directly linked with the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER), which keeps track of who qualifies for support based on income, family size, and other factors.
How to Confirm Your CNIC on 8171 Portal
Here is a simple step-by-step guide to check your CNIC online:
-
Open your browser and go to: 8171.pass.gov.pk
-
Enter your 13-digit CNIC number.
-
Enter the captcha code shown on the screen.
-
Click the “Check Eligibility” button.
-
The system will show whether you’re eligible and if a payment is ready.
If you’re eligible, it will also guide you about how to collect the money.
How to Check CNIC via SMS
If you don’t have internet access, you can use SMS:
-
Open the messaging app on your phone.
-
Type your 13-digit CNIC number (no dashes).

This method is free and especially helpful for people in villages or remote areas.

Visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office.
-
Bring your original CNIC and family registration documents.
-
What to Do If You’re Marked Ineligible
Complete the Dynamic Survey if required.

Make sure your mobile number is registered correctly – it’s needed for payment alerts.

Families with no regular income
-
Widows or women-led households

-
Elderly people without pensions

Anyone enrolled in BISP or Ehsaas programs
Even if you were eligible before, you should recheck after any changes in family or income.
