Great news for millions of low-income families across Pakistan—the Ehsaas 8171 web portal is finally reopening in June 2025. After a temporary closure for maintenance and major system upgrades, the government has announced the return of this crucial digital platform that helps people check their financial aid status and register for support programs under Ehsaas and BISP.
The relaunch comes just in time for Eid-ul-Adha, ensuring that families in need can access their benefits without delay. Whether you’re checking your payment, applying for new assistance, or filing a complaint, the improved portal promises a smoother, faster, and more secure experience.
Why Was the Portal Closed?
The portal went offline in May 2025 so the technical team could perform essential updates. Many users had complained about slow speeds, login errors, and glitches. To fix these issues, the system was taken down temporarily.
Here’s what the government worked on during the shutdown:
-
Upgrading servers and database systems to handle more users
-
Adding new security features to protect personal data
-
Improving mobile compatibility so it works well on smartphones
-
Fixing known bugs that caused system crashes
These changes are part of a broader effort to make government services more reliable and accessible—especially for those in remote or underserved areas.

By Calling the Helpline: Dial 0800-26477 and speak with a representative after sharing your CNIC.
-
Visit a Local Center: Go to the nearest BISP or Ehsaas office with your original CNIC to get help in person.

Fix issues faster with better complaint handling
-
Register without needing to travel
