The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) rolled out significant updates to its 8171 web portal in June 2025. These improvements aim to simplify the process of checking eligibility and receiving financial assistance for low-income families across Pakistan. With new payment structures, enhanced digital features, and multilingual support, the portal is more accessible and user-friendly than ever.
✅ Latest Payment Update – June & July 2025
As part of its latest initiative, BISP has confirmed that eligible women who were approved between January and March 2025 but have not yet received any financial aid will now be provided a payment of PKR 13,500. We are releasing this compensation in June to make up for any missed disbursements.
In addition, the upcoming payment cycle for July 2025 will provide PKR 14,500 to verified families whose monthly household income is below PKR 50,000. Eligible families who haven’t received assistance in previous rounds are encouraged to re-verify their data through the updated portal or visit the nearest BISP center.
New Features in the 8171 Web Portal
The BISP 8171 portal has been redesigned to offer improved functionality and convenience. The main features of the newly updated online site are the ones below:
-
Real-Time Eligibility & Payment Status Check: Beneficiaries can now instantly check their eligibility, payment history, and disbursement details online.
-
Multilingual Access: The portal now supports multiple regional languages, including Urdu, Sindhi, and Pashto, making it more inclusive.
-
Mobile-Friendly Interface: Users can access the portal from smartphones with a responsive layout that works well on both desktop and mobile devices.
-
Location-Based Services: Beneficiaries can now find the nearest payment collection centers and BISP support offices using the new map integration.

How to Use SMS to Check on the Status of BISP 8171 Payments
For those without internet access, BISP has maintained its SMS-based status check:
- Please enter your 13-digit CNIC number.
- Send it via SMS to 8171.
This feature remains helpful for people in remote areas or those who prefer a non-digital method.
Biometric Verification & Re-Verification
All beneficiaries are now required to undergo biometric verification to receive payments. This includes resubmission of data such as:
- CNIC number
- Family structure details
- Household income proof
- Contact information
This verification can be done at any nearby BISP Tehsil Office or designated verification centers. Failure to update or reverify the information may result in delayed or blocked payments.
Where to Collect Payments
BISP-eligible women and children can access their funds at the following locations:
- BISP Campsites (with biometric verification)
- Bank Alfalah or HBL ATMs
- Bank Alfalah Konnect or HBL Konnect Agents (especially for regions like Punjab, KP, Sindh, Balochistan, AJK, and GB)
The aim is to make disbursements more efficient and minimize the need for long queues or travel.
⚠️ Important Notices
- If the site does not display the progress of your payment, rest assured. The system may currently be changing. It’s best to check again in a few days.
- Do not respond to unsolicited calls or emails claiming to be from the BISP that request personal or financial information. BISP doesn’t charge anything to sign up or keep your information up to date.
- When you need help or have questions, you must use proper methods. You can call the BISP helpline at 0800-26477 or go to the BISP center that is closest to you.
Conclusion
The June 2025 update to the BISP 8171 web portal is a positive move toward transparency, accessibility, and efficiency. With the introduction of a revised payment structure, biometric re-verification, and a multilingual web interface, deserving families now have better tools and clearer guidance for receiving much-needed financial support. It is recommended that all beneficiaries regularly check the portal or use the SMS service to stay updated about their payment status and eligibility.
