BISP 8171 Program 13500 New Payment
Benazir Income Support Program, also known as BISP 8171, is currently the largest social safety net in the country launched by the Government of Pakistan. This network is running various programs, including the Benazir Kafalat Program, the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program, and other welfare initiatives. Under these programs, financial assistance is provided to poor and deserving households on various terms to make their lives easier and eradicate poverty. If we talk about the largest social safety net program under it, then it is the Benazir Kafalat Program, under which about one crore households are currently benefiting. It should be remembered that the number of households included in this program was 9.3 million by 2024; however, another 7 lakh households have been included in 2025. Since the payments of the Kafalat program are going to start in the month of April, many women are still unaware whether they are included in this program or not.
Keeping this need in mind, I am providing complete guidance for such women here so that they can check their eligibility from home, without any hassle and without visiting the BISP office. In this article, I will explain in detail the complete procedure on how women can check their eligibility online. Apart from this, I will also clarify when the payments of the Kafalat program are going to start regularly and how the eligible women will be able to receive their financial assistance. So, if you also want to get complete and authentic information in this regard, then do read this article till the end so that you can receive your assistance without any difficulty.

What Are The Procedures For Checking Eligibility?
If we talk about the procedure for checking eligibility, then let me tell you that the Benazir Income Support Program has provided only two methods through which all the eligible persons can get complete details of their eligibility and payments from home. Both these methods are very easy and simple so that everyone can use them, and there is no need to go to the Benazir Income Support Program office.
For your guidance, I am explaining the details of both these methods here so that you can choose any one of them and check your eligibility. This will not only save you time, but you will also not have to face any kind of difficulties, and you will be able to be completely aware of your financial assistance status from home.
The First Method Is Via SMS
As the name of the method suggests, it allows beneficiaries to get their eligibility and payment details through SMS. This method is specially designed for those who are illiterate or do not have internet access. Under this method, all beneficiaries who want to get complete information regarding their eligibility can send an SMS to 8171 by typing their CNIC number from the mobile phone number registered in their name (which they provided at the time of registration).
After sending the SMS, a reply SMS will be received from the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) providing complete details of their eligibility and payment. Although this method is a little less effective than the other method, it still works and is especially helpful for those who do not have access to the internet.
The Second Method Is Through The 8171 Web Portal
The second method is more effective and more widely used than the first method. Under this method, all the eligible persons who want to get their eligibility and payment details use the official web portal of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP). By visiting this portal, they enter their National Identity Card number, after which they are provided with their complete information.
If you also want to check your eligibility through this method, then first open the 8171 web portal on your mobile or computer. After opening the web portal, you will see two fields. Enter your CNIC card number in the first field, while in the second field, type the captcha code. After that, click on the submit button below. As soon as you press the button, your eligibility and payment details will appear on your screen. The special thing about this method is that it is not only more effective than the first method but also faster, through which you can get all your information sitting at home without wasting time.
When Will The Kafalat Program Payments Begin?
If we talk about when the payments of the Kafalat program are going to start formally, let me remind you once again that according to the deadline issued by BISP, the payments will be officially started to all eligible beneficiaries in the first week of April, immediately after Eid.
These payments will be provided only to those women who are regular beneficiaries of the Kafalat program or have recently been declared eligible for this program. However, those women who have already been provided with the January-March installment will not be given this installment again. It should be remembered that some time ago, this assistance was also provided to certain newly enrolled women from January to March, so they will not be entitled to this installment again.
