The BISP 8171 program has started releasing its July 2025 installment, offering financial relief of Rs 13,500 to thousands of eligible families across Pakistan. If you’re unsure whether you qualify or how to check your eligibility, this simple guide will walk you through everything using your CNIC and mobile phone. No long queues, no complicated forms — just straightforward steps.
Who Qualifies for the BISP 8171 July 2025 Payment?
If you’re struggling financially, the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) may be the support you need. The government is offering this installment to women who fulfill certain conditions:
-
Your household income is less than Rs. 50,000 per month
-
You’re part of the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) survey
-
You’re a woman who heads the family or lives in a household with no male breadwinner
-
You don’t work in a government job or receive a pension
-
You haven’t traveled abroad recently and don’t own luxury items
-
Your CNIC is valid and your mobile number is active
This time, over one million women have been newly added to the program. That includes many who were previously excluded due to biometric issues or incomplete registration. The government is actively including these people again, ensuring no deserving woman is left behind.
How to Check Your BISP 8171 Eligibility with CNIC
Gone are the days when checking your status meant visiting a government office and waiting for hours. Now, you can find out your eligibility status in just minutes through two main ways: SMS or the official 8171 web portal.
Option 1: Check via SMS
-
Open your phone’s message app.
-
Type your 13-digit CNIC number (without any dashes).
-
Send it to 8171.
-
Wait for a reply. You’ll get a message telling you if you’re eligible, if your verification is pending, or if you need to visit a BISP office.
This method is best for those who have a simple mobile phone or prefer offline access.
Option 2: Check via the 8171 Web Portal
-
Visit the official 8171portal2025.pk portal.
-
Enter your CNIC number and the captcha shown on the screen.
-
Click the “Check” button.
Within seconds, your eligibility status will appear. This platform is especially helpful for those who want to verify payment details or check if a new survey is needed.
Option 3: Visit Your Nearest BISP Tehsil Office
For those who face issues with SMS or the web portal, visiting your local BISP office is the best route. Carry your original CNIC with you.
BISP staff can help with:
-
Fixing fingerprint mismatches
-
Updating your data
-
Completing the dynamic NSER survey
Make sure your biometrics match with NADRA data, as mismatches are a common reason for payment delays.

When Will You Get Paid?
Payments have started rolling out in July 2025, starting with major cities and moving to smaller towns and villages. If you’re eligible and have no data issues, you’ll receive Rs 13,500 during this phase.
However, delays may happen due to:
-
Biometric mismatches
-
Incomplete survey data
-
Unregistered or inactive mobile numbers
So, it’s better to update all your records now rather than face problems later.
