With rising inflation across Pakistan, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has announced the continuation of Rs 13,500 financial assistance for eligible families in August 2025. Many beneficiaries rely on the 8171 Web Portal to check their eligibility and payment details, but due to system upgrades, the portal is facing temporary interruptions.
This guide explains how you can check your BISP payment status, confirm eligibility, and collect your installment without delays using both online and offline methods.
Who Can Get the Rs 13,500 BISP Payment in August 2025?
Only those families registered in the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) and verified as low-income are eligible.
Key eligibility points:
Must hold a valid CNIC (not expired).
Belong to a low-income household.
Women heads of households are prioritized.
No overseas travel or luxury assets like big properties or expensive vehicles.
How to Check BISP Rs 13,500 Payment Using 8171 Web Portal
Once the portal is fully functional, follow these steps:
Visit the official site: 8171.bisp.gov.pk
Enter your 13-digit CNIC.
Solve the captcha and click “Check Eligibility”.
Instantly view your payment status and next installment date.
Alternate Methods (If Portal is Down)
While the 8171 portal undergoes updates, you can still confirm your payment through:
SMS – Send your CNIC to 8171 and get a reply.
Nearest BISP Tehsil Office – Confirm your payment physically.
ATMs or HBL Konnect Retailers – Check balance and collect payment using your CNIC and biometric.
Mobile Vans – For rural areas, BISP teams deliver cash directly.
Why Should You Update Your NSER Details?
If your family income, household size, or address has changed, you must update your records. Outdated data can block your payment.
