Big Relief: 400,000 Beneficiaries Re-Added in BISP July 2025 Cycle
In a powerful move to uplift the most vulnerable women in Pakistan, the government has officially re-included 400,000 eligible beneficiaries in the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) for the July 2025 installment of Rs. 13,500. Many of these women were previously declared eligible but missed earlier payments due to system errors, verification delays, or inactive accounts.
If you or someone you know was previously eligible but didn’t receive the payment, now is the time to check your status. The government has made it easy through the official 8171 portal and SMS service.
What is the BISP 8171 Program?
BISP is one of Pakistan’s largest poverty-relief programs. It offers quarterly financial assistance to underprivileged women, especially widows, divorcees, and those from households with no male breadwinner. The goal is to:
Reduce poverty
Support women-led families
Improve access to healthcare and education
The 8171 service is used to check your eligibility and payment status using your CNIC number, either online or by SMS.

As part of the July rollout, BISP has brought back women who:
Received an eligibility SMS but didn’t get paid
