🌍 BISP 8171 August 2025 Expands – Who Gets Help Now?

Big news for low-income families in Pakistan! The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has expanded its 8171 program in August 2025, adding new districts across Punjab, Sindh, KP, Balochistan, AJK, and Gilgit-Baltistan.

This means thousands of families who were not eligible before can now receive the Rs.13,500 cash payment.

If you’ve ever been told “District Not Active” or “Not Eligible,” now is the time to check again.


🆕 Which New Districts Are Added?

While BISP has yet to release the entire list, sources affirm:

  • Small towns and rural regions of Punjab and Sindh are now live
  • Some rural districts of KP and Balochistan are also included
  • Mountain regions of AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan are now included
  • Tehsils excluded in previous phases are now included

👉 If your district was not live previously, there’s a high likelihood it is now.



âś… Why This Expansion Is a Game Changer

This is not only a customary upgrade — it’s a welcome relief for thousands of families who were waiting for assistance.

  • Additional coverage = Additional poor families assisted
  • Fresh figures = Improved accuracy in eligibility
  • Equity = Remote and overlooked areas now covered
  • Women and widows = Increased possibility with new PMT cap

This is all part of the government’s assurance to reach every deserving home, regardless of where they reside.
