What Is the 8171 Web Portal?
The 8171 Web Portal is the official online platform of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP). Launched to assist low-income families in Pakistan, this portal helps users check their eligibility using their CNIC, register for financial support, and track their Rs. 13,500 BISP payments in real-time.
This service is especially helpful for families living in rural or underserved areas who cannot visit offices frequently. The portal works as a digital bridge between citizens and the BISP program, making the process easier, quicker, and more transparent.
