In Pakistan, where rising prices are making life hard for poor families, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is giving some relief with its Rs. 13,500 cash payment. This amount helps especially women-led families and poor citizens across the country.
For August 2025, this payment continues under the 8171 BISP Kafalat program. However, due to technical issues, the 8171 web portal is currently down. Don’t worry — there are still safe and easy ways to check your payment status and get your money.
The 8171 Web Portal is a government platform made to help people
- Check eligibility
- Confirm payment status
- Register complaints
- Update NSER survey data
- Check Benazir Taleemi Wazaif
Before the technical update, women in far-off areas used this portal on their phones without visiting any office. The good news is that the portal will be online again by the end of July 2025, with better speed and new features.
Who Can Get the Rs. 13,500 BISP August Payment?
You can receive the Rs. 13,500 BISP amount if:
- You belong to a low-income household
- You have a valid CNIC
- You are not working in any government job
- Your data is listed in the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER)
- You do not own luxury property, vehicles, or have overseas travel records
Women who are heads of their families are given top priority. Also, BISP uses a Poverty Score (PMT score) to confirm who is eligible. Any small change in your income, family size, or assets can affect your status.
How to Check BISP Rs 13500 Payment
Once the 8171 web portal is live again, follow these steps:
- Visit 8171.bisp.gov.pk
- Enter your 13-digit CNIC
- Solve the captcha
- Your eligibility and payment info will be shown
Make sure your CNIC is valid and not expired. You can use your mobile phone or computer to check — the website is very simple to use.
How to Check Payment Without Using the Portal
While the portal is offline, use these official methods:
- SMS Method: Send your CNIC to 8171
- BISP Center Visit: Go to your nearest center with your CNIC
- Mobile Vans: In remote areas, BISP vans visit door-to-door
- ATMs or Retail Agents: Use your BISP Card at HBL ATMs or authorized shops
These methods are safe and fully supported by BISP.
Why Updating Your NSER Survey Is Important
If your NSER data is old or wrong, you might stop receiving BISP money. To avoid this, update your NSER record whenever:
- You change your address
- Your income changes
- Your family size changes
How to Update NSER:
- Visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office
- Bring original CNICs of all family members
- Answer basic questions about your income, house, and job
- Do biometric verification and update your mobile number
Be honest while answering — wrong info can make you ineligible.
Safe Ways to Collect Your Rs. 13500 BISP Payment
After you are declared eligible:
- Go to a BISP payment campsite
- Verify your fingerprint before collecting
- Or use your BISP card at HBL ATM
- Or visit a retail agent with your CNIC and fingerprint
In rural areas, BISP mobile vans may bring cash to your village.
When Will the 8171 Web Portal Be Active Again?
According to the latest BISP update, the portal is under system upgrade to improve speed and handle more users. It is expected to be back online by end of July 2025. Until then, SMS and manual methods will continue to help people check and receive payments.
Final Words
Even though the 8171 web portal is temporarily offline, you can still check and receive your Rs. 13,500 BISP payment easily. Just follow the safe alternative methods, keep your NSER record updated, and never share personal details with strangers.
