The final phase of the BISP 8171 April–June 2025 payment cycle has officially kicked off, bringing a wave of relief for thousands of low-income families across Pakistan. This phase is particularly important because it targets families who were left out in the previous rounds due to technical glitches, eligibility complications, or data verification delays. With Eid-ul-Adha around the corner, the government’s move to disburse Rs. 13,500 per eligible household couldn’t have come at a better time.
District-Wise Disbursement Strategy Rolled Out
To ensure smooth and fair payment delivery, BISP has launched an organized, district-wise payment plan. Families in Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan will receive their payments through HBL Konnect agents, while those in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir will use Bank Alfalah agents. In almost every district, BISP campsites with biometric verification systems are active to support direct cash disbursement.
Authorities are also closely monitoring these sites to prevent fraud and ensure transparency. Beneficiaries are advised not to engage with unauthorized agents or middlemen. Visiting only the officially designated BISP camps or bank-affiliated retailers ensures your safety and proper service.
Eid Holidays Affecting the Payment Schedule
While payments started on June 1, a temporary pause will occur from June 6 to June 12 due to Eid holidays. After June 13, operations will slowly resume, with full-scale disbursements expected from June 16 onward. If you’re planning to collect your payment, it’s a good idea to avoid the rush right before or after Eid. Instead, confirm your eligibility and payment status in advance to plan your visit better.
Check Your BISP 8171 Status Before Visiting
There are three simple ways to confirm if you’re eligible to receive Rs. 13,500 in this phase:
-
SMS Method: Send your CNIC number (without dashes) to 8171 and wait for a reply.
-
8171 Web Portal: Visit 8171portal2025.pk, enter your CNIC and verification code, and check your status instantly.
-
Nearest BISP Office: Carry your original CNIC and ask the staff to verify your eligibility or update your records if needed.
Checking before going to a center will save time and avoid disappointment or confusion.
Who Is Eligible for This Payment Cycle?
This payment phase includes individuals and families who meet the following criteria:
-
Must be a Pakistani citizen with a valid CNIC.
-
Monthly household income should be less than Rs. 50,000.
-
Should not own a registered business or large property.
-
Not employed in any government job.

Your details are verified using NADRA and the NSER database, so it’s crucial to keep your information updated, especially if you were marked ineligible in the past due to outdated or incomplete records.
How to Receive Your Rs. 13,500 Safely
Once marked eligible, you can collect your payment in one of the following ways:
-
Biometric Verification Campsites: Set up by BISP in multiple districts with real-time biometric scanning.
-
ATM Withdrawal: Visit HBL or Bank Alfalah ATMs that support thumbprint verification.
-
Authorized Retailers: HBL Konnect and Bank Alfalah agents are disbursing cash, depending on your district.
If your fingerprint fails at any payment point, head to your nearest NADRA office to update your biometric data. Once updated, you can return and receive your payment smoothly.
Final Thought: Take Action Before Time Runs Out
This final disbursement phase is a vital opportunity for thousands of families to receive much-needed aid before Eid. If you or someone you know is eligible, take the necessary steps to confirm your payment status, update your information, and collect your Rs. 13,500 as soon as possible. Avoid visiting during holidays or without checking your eligibility—it could save you a long wait and unnecessary frustration.
