The Government of Pakistan continues to provide financial assistance to deserving families under the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) and the Ehsaas 8171 Program. With the growing economic challenges, the 8171 web portal has made it easier for eligible citizens to check their new payment status online by using their CNIC. This article explains how to check your 8171 payment online, find out who is eligible for July 2025 payments, and sign up for the programme.
What is the 8171 Program?
The 8171 Ehsaas Program, now merged with BISP, is a government welfare initiative that aims to provide financial relief to poor and low-income families across Pakistan. Beneficiaries receive cash payments to help cover essential living costs such as food, healthcare, and education.
The process is fully digitalised, allowing beneficiaries to check their eligibility and payment status online using their Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC).
