How to Check Eligibility and Payment Status
There are several ways to check if you are eligible for the BISP 8171 scheme and to see if you have been paid:
1. Via SMS
Send your 13-digit CNIC number to 8171, making sure there are no dashes in the numbers. A message will be sent to you to make sure that you are eligible for the current payment term.
2. Online Portal
Visit the official BISP portal: https://8171.bisp.gov.pk
- Enter your CNIC number.
- Complete the captcha verification.
- To see if you’re eligible and how much you owe, click “Submit.”
3. Tehsil Offices and Helpline
You can also go to the nearest BISP Tehsil Office for help in person. If you are having trouble with biometric verification or payment handling, you can call the BISP Helpline at 0800-26477 for help.
New Beneficiaries Added in July 2025
The July 2025 cycle has witnessed a major addition of new families to the program. According to BISP officials, these are households that were earlier removed or disqualified due to incomplete documentation, errors in PMT score records, or CNIC-related discrepancies. The government conducted a thorough review and verification process and has now allowed these families to rejoin the support scheme.

Important Reminders for Beneficiaries
If you are expecting payment in July 2025, please keep the following points in mind:
- Biometric verification is needed when funds are being taken.
- Always carry your original CNIC to the payment center.
- Do not pay any commission to agents; all payments are free of cost.
- Before checking your BISP status, update your expired or blocked CNIC at NADRA.
We urge beneficiaries to exercise caution against fraudsters. Only respond to official BISP messages from shortcode 8171 and visit official websites or registered centers.
Common Issues and How to Resolve Them
A lot of people who try to register have problems, like payments being late, problems verifying their CNIC, or not getting texts. Here’s how to solve them:
- If your payment is “under process,” it means your verification is still ongoing.
- If your status says “not eligible,” your family’s PMT score may be above the eligibility threshold.
- If you believe your exclusion is incorrect, visit a BISP registration center for a re-evaluation.
You can also check your PMT score through NADRA or at the 8171 web portal to better understand your eligibility.
Future Outlook for BISP
We expect the BISP program to expand its services further with continued improvements and transparency. The government has announced plans to include more features like school stipends, health support, and nutritional assistance under the same umbrella.
The July 2025 update is a positive sign that the government is serious about reaching every deserving family. We anticipate further technological advancements in the upcoming months to streamline the registration, verification, and payment procedures.
Final Words
The BISP 8171 July 2025 update marks another successful round of financial assistance to Pakistan’s most vulnerable families. With Rs 13,500 being paid out and hundreds of thousands of new beneficiaries added, the program continues to play a vital role in poverty reduction and social welfare.
Whether you are a returning recipient or newly eligible, make sure to check your CNIC status, complete all verification requirements, and collect your funds on time. Stay connected to official BISP platforms for the latest announcements and avoid relying on unverified sources.
