If you’re trying to check your 8171 BISP (Benazir Income Support Programme) eligibility or payment status, please note that the official BISP web portal is currently under maintenance or not responding. This means you may not be able to see your results at this moment.
This is a normal situation that happens occasionally when the government is working on system updates to make the service better and more secure for everyone. Please don’t worry — this update is temporary.
Why Is the Portal Not Working?
There are a few possible reasons why the 8171 BISP portal might not be working:
Scheduled Maintenance
The BISP technical team regularly updates the system to improve its speed and accuracy. This may cause the website to go offline for a short time.Heavy Traffic
Sometimes, when too many people try to access the site at the same time, the server becomes slow or stops responding. This usually happens after the announcement of new payments or registration phases.Server Error (404)
The “HTTP 404 – Not Found” message means the system couldn’t find the web page you requested. This may happen if the link is outdated or the page has been moved by the BISP administration.
Current Status (Screenshot)
Here is the current status from the official BISP website:
As you can see, the official portal is showing an error message:
“Not Found – HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.”
This confirms that the website is temporarily down or being updated.
What You Should Do Now
While the BISP 8171 portal is under update, you can do the following:
Wait for a few hours and try again later.
Do not enter your CNIC number repeatedly, as it may not be processed until the system is back online.
Avoid using unofficial websites that claim to provide your payment status. Only use the official portal: https://8171.bisp.gov.pk once it’s working again.
How You’ll Know When It’s Back
Once the portal update is complete, the page will open normally, and you will see a box to enter:
Your CNIC number
Captcha code (image code)
And then click on the “Maloom Karain” button
This means the system is live again, and you can safely check your payment or registration status.
Final Words
The BISP program is a very important support system for millions of families in Pakistan. Sometimes a little patience is needed while the system is being improved.
We’ll keep monitoring the official portal and will update this page as soon as the site becomes active again. Thank you for your understanding!
