If you’re wondering whether you or someone in your family qualifies for the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) in June 2025, the good news is—it’s never been easier to check. The government of Pakistan has introduced a straightforward way to check BISP eligibility using the 8171 SMS service or the 8171 web portal.
Let’s break it down in simple terms so you can easily follow each step and ensure you don’t miss out on this important support.
What Is BISP and Why Check Eligibility?
BISP is a government-funded welfare program designed to assist low-income families across Pakistan. It provides monthly financial aid to help cover basic expenses such as food, education, and healthcare. But to get these benefits, you must first check if you qualify.
That’s where the 8171 portal and SMS service come in. Whether you’re living in a village or a big city, these tools are available to everyone—free of charge.
How to Check BISP Eligibility via SMS (8171 Code)
