The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) continues to provide much-needed financial help to families across Pakistan. For July 2025, eligible families are receiving payments of Rs. 13,500 under the BISP Kafalat program. If you are part of this program or waiting to join, this guide will help you check your BISP 8171 payment status, verify your CNIC, and understand what to do in case of delays or issues.
What Is BISP 8171 Payment?
BISP 8171 is a federal program aimed at supporting low-income households, especially women, widows, and people with disabilities. Payments are made every quarter, and families must stay verified to keep receiving funds. In July 2025, BISP is releasing the latest round of payments in three phases across all provinces.
How to Check Your BISP 8171 Payment Status
There are a few easy ways to check your payment status:
✅ SMS Method
Open the messaging app on your phone.
Type your 13-digit CNIC number (without dashes).
Send it to 8171.
You will receive a message with your eligibility and payment details.
This message may say:
You are eligible and your payment is ready.
You need to update or verify your CNIC.
You are not eligible (and why).
✅ Online Portal
If you have internet access, use the BISP web portal:
Go to 8171.bisp.gov.pk.
Enter your CNIC and the captcha code.
Click “Submit” to see your status.
The portal is free and available 24/7.
✅ Visit a BISP Office or Camp
If you don’t have a mobile or internet, go to your nearest BISP Tehsil Office or payment campsite. Bring:
Your original CNIC
A registered mobile number
Thumb verification (biometric)
The staff will help you check your status and tell you how to collect your money.
Who Is Eligible for the July 2025 Payment?
You may qualify for BISP if you are:
A woman from a low-income household
A widow or single mother
Living with a disability (with NADRA certificate)
Registered under the NSER survey with a PMT score under 32
If you’re unsure, just send your CNIC to 8171 and check.
What to Do If You Haven’t Received Payment
If your status shows “Payment Sent” but you haven’t received anything, try the following:
🔁 Recheck Biometric Verification
Sometimes, your fingerprints don’t match at payment centers. Visit HBL Konnect or Bank Alfalah agents and try again. If your fingerprint still doesn’t work, go to your Tehsil office for manual verification.
🔁 Update CNIC or Mobile Number
If your CNIC is expired, renew it at NADRA first. Also, make sure your mobile number is active and registered with your CNIC.
🔁 Visit a Help Desk
You can also visit a BISP help desk for support. They can tell you if your account is blocked or if a re-survey is needed.
What If You’re Not Registered Yet?
If you haven’t joined BISP yet, follow these steps:
Go to your nearest BISP Tehsil Office.
Bring your original CNIC and children’s B-Forms.
Complete the NSER survey.
Wait for an SMS from 8171 confirming your eligibility.
Once approved, you’ll start receiving Rs. 13,500 every three months.
Final Words
The BISP 8171 payment for July 2025 is a vital relief for millions of families.
