BISP 8171 Web Portal
If you receive money from the BISP 8171 Web Portal, you probably want a quick way to see where your case stands. The 8171 service is exactly that. You can use it online or by text message, and you don’t need to visit an office just to look up your record.
What’s the payment amount this year?
The latest figure is Rs. 14,500 per quarter. A government briefing on June 22, 2026 said the Kafaalat stipend had been raised to this level and was reaching about 12 million households. The same briefing mentioned another jump to Rs. 18,000 starting January 2027.
You may still come across Rs. 13,500 on older BISP pages, and some blogs still say Rs. 10,500. Those numbers are outdated. Still, don’t treat any headline figure as a promise. What matters is what your own record shows when you check it.

Checking your status on the web
- Go to the official 8171 BISP web portal at https://8171.bisp.gov.pk/
- Type in your 13-digit CNIC number.
- Copy the verification code shown on the screen.
- Hit submit and read the result.
Be careful here. Plenty of fake sites imitate the real portal to collect CNIC numbers. Look at the address bar before you type anything, and make sure you are on the official BISP domain.
Checking by SMS
No internet? No problem. Open your messages, type your CNIC with no spaces or dashes, and send it to 8171. A reply should come back shortly.
BISP has said many times that 8171 is its only official messaging number. If a “payment received” message arrives from some other number, treat it as suspicious until proven otherwise.
Who actually qualifies?
There is no magic salary line. BISP looks at households through the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) and scores them with a Proxy Means Test. The cut-off is set by BISP policy, not by one single factor like income or property.
Because family situations change, BISP also runs a Dynamic Registry, which lets household information be updated over time. So be wary of any website that claims one simple thing will automatically get you in or knock you out.
Payment not showing? Here’s what could be going on
- The money hasn’t been released for your account yet.
- Your household details are out of date.
- Your record is being verified.
- A survey or re-survey is still pending for your family.
- There’s a problem with your CNIC or the information attached to it.
- Under the current assessment, your household isn’t eligible.
If your record needs fixing, go to your nearest BISP Tehsil Office and ask about its status. Don’t hand money to an agent for this. The survey and registration are free.
One more thing: BISP officials have said that families who have been receiving support for three years must go through a re-survey or recertification. If that applies to you, do it at the nearest office. But don’t keep running to the center just because the online result hasn’t changed. Check 8171 first, then contact BISP only if an update is really needed.
What to carry to the office
Bring your original CNIC. Staff might ask for more depending on your issue. Also make sure the mobile number on your record is one you actually use, since important messages go there.
Collecting the money
BISP payments have usually required biometric (fingerprint) verification at an approved payment point. When you collect:
- Finish the fingerprint check.
- Count your cash before you walk away.
- Take the receipt and keep it.
- Make sure nothing has been taken out.
If someone cuts your payment
Nobody should be charging you a fee for money you are entitled to. If a person demands a cut or deducts something, report it to BISP on 0800-26477, or go to your Tehsil Office and file a complaint. Keep your receipt and CNIC details handy, because they help the complaint move faster.
Fingerprint not working?
This happens sometimes. Ask the payment point what the official procedure is. If the real problem is with your fingerprint data or identity record, you may have to sort that out with the relevant authority first. Never give your CNIC, PIN or OTP to a stranger offering to “fix” it for a fee.

Scams to watch for
Stay away from anyone who:
- Charges money for BISP registration.
- Guarantees you’ll be approved.
- Asks for your OTP or PIN.
- Says they can unblock your payment for a price.
- Sends a strange payment link.
- Wants your CNIC details on an unofficial website.
If someone demands money for the survey or registration, report them to BISP.
