Introduction
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is a nationwide welfare program run by the Government of Pakistan. Its goal is to support poor and deserving families who are unable to meet their basic needs due to inflation, unemployment, and economic challenges.
Under BISP 8171, the government offers a quarterly cash transfer of Rs. 13,500 to women-led households across Pakistan. This article explains who is eligible, how to apply, how to check your status, and what to do if you’re marked “ineligible”. We also include a table in English and a detailed Urdu section to make it easier for all types of readers.
بینظیر انکم سپورٹ پروگرام (BISP)
حکومت پاکستان کا ایک قابلِ تحسین فلاحی اقدام ہے، جس کا مقصد معاشی طور پر کمزور اور مستحق خاندانوں کی مالی معاونت فراہم کرنا ہے۔ یہ پروگرام خاص طور پر اُن خواتین کے لیے ترتیب دیا گیا ہے جو گھر کی سربراہ ہیں، بیوہ ہیں یا جن کا کوئی مستحکم ذریعہ آمدن موجود نہیں ہے۔
اس پروگرام کے تحت حکومت مستحق خاندانوں کو ہر تین ماہ بعد 13,500 روپے کی مالی امداد فراہم کرتی ہے تاکہ وہ اپنی بنیادی ضروریات جیسے خوراک، علاج اور بچوں کی تعلیم جیسے اہم اخراجات کو پورا کر سکیں۔
BISP میں شمولیت کے لیے درخواست گزار کا PMT اسکور 32 سے کم ہونا ضروری ہے، جبکہ قومی شناختی کارڈ درست اور فعال ہونا لازمی ہے۔ مزید برآں، کسی سرکاری ملازمت یا پنشن کا حامل فرد اس پروگرام کا اہل نہیں ہوتا۔
ادائیگی کا عمل بایومیٹرک تصدیق کے ذریعے مکمل کیا جاتا ہے، اور مستحق افراد کو یہ رقم HBL Konnect یا مجاز BISP مراکز سے فراہم کی جاتی ہے۔
یہ پروگرام نہ صرف مالی معاونت فراہم کرتا ہے بلکہ خود کفالت کی جانب ایک مؤثر قدم بھی ہے۔
✅ What is BISP 8171?
BISP 8171 is a dedicated portal and SMS service that allows citizens to check their eligibility for financial assistance. The government uses data from the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) and a poverty scoring system known as the PMT (Proxy Means Test) to determine eligibility.
If eligible, you’ll receive financial support every three months through HBL Konnect, biometric centers, or partner retailers.
