The Government of Pakistan continues strengthening its support for low-income families through programs like the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and Ehsaas Kafalat. As part of this commitment, a significant update to the 8171 Web Portal is launching on June 1, 2025. This update brings important improvements to make the process of checking eligibility, registration, and payment tracking easier and more transparent, especially for women and underprivileged households.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 update of the 8171 portal.
What is the 8171 Web Portal?
The 8171 Web Portal is the official online platform used by the government to help people:
- Check eligibility for cash assistance programs (like BISP and Ehsaas Kafalat)
- Track payment status
- Register or update information
- Submit appeals or complaints.
It’s accessible via https://8171.bisp.gov.pk, and the portal plays a key role in promoting digital access to welfare services across Pakistan.
Key Features of the 2025 Update
The June 2025 portal update is focused on speed, accessibility, and expanded eligibility. Below are the major changes and new features you should know:
1. Updated Financial Aid
The amount given under the Benazir Kafalat Program has been increased from Rs. 10,500 to Rs. 13,500 per quarter. This increase is aimed at helping families better manage inflation and rising costs.
2. Reopened Registration
The portal now allows online registration for those who previously could not join. Over 700,000 new women are expected to be included in the updated beneficiary list.
3. Real-Time PMT Score Checker
The update introduces a tool to check your Proxy Means Test (PMT) score, which is the key criterion for eligibility. This feature saves time and helps users understand their qualification status without visiting BISP offices.
4. Faster CNIC Verification
The updated portal is now linked more closely with NADRA databases, allowing real-time verification of CNIC numbers and family data. This improvement makes the system more accurate and reduces fraud.
5. Simplified User Interface
The portal is now easier to use, mobile-friendly, and available in Urdu and English. This modification ensures that even women in remote areas can use it with minimal guidance.

To check your eligibility or status once the new update is live, follow these steps:
- Visit https://8171.bisp.gov.pk
- Enter your 13-digit CNIC number.

Important Tips for Beneficiaries

Conclusion
The 8171 Web Portal Update of 2025 is a powerful step forward in ensuring transparent, digital access to social support in Pakistan.
