8171 Web Portal Updated 2025 – Check BISP Eligibility Now
The 8171 web portal updated today with a new feature that makes it easier for families to check their eligibility for the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP). This update allows beneficiaries to instantly view their PMT score, payment details, and eligibility status without visiting a BISP office. The goal is to increase transparency and give people a faster, more reliable way to confirm if they qualify for financial support.
What is the New Feature in the 8171 Portal?
The new feature added in 2025 lets you:
- Check your PMT (Poverty Means Test) score.
- See whether you are eligible for BISP financial aid.
- View details of your latest quarterly payments.
This feature is especially useful for low-income women and families, who can now confirm their status directly from home by entering their CNIC number on the portal.
How to Check Your Eligibility and PMT Score
You can check your eligibility in two main ways:
1. Using the 8171 Web Portal
Follow these steps to check online:
- Open your browser and go to the official BISP portal (8171.bisp.gov.pk).
- Enter your 13-digit CNIC number (without spaces or dashes).
- Complete the captcha code shown on the screen.
- Click Submit.
- Instantly see your eligibility result, PMT score, and payment status.
This is the most detailed option, as it shows not only eligibility but also your payment details.
2. Using the 8171 SMS Service
For people without internet access, the SMS service is still available:
- Open your SMS app on your mobile phone.
- Type your 13-digit CNIC number.
- Send it to 8171.
- Within minutes, you’ll receive a reply about your eligibility status.
This is quick and simple, but it shows fewer details compared to the portal.
Understanding Your PMT Score
The PMT score is the key factor in deciding eligibility. It is calculated during the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) survey. Factors include:
- Household income
- Assets (property, vehicles, etc.)
- Family size
- Living conditions
A lower PMT score means a higher chance of qualifying for financial support.
Why PMT Score Matters
- Transparency: You can now see exactly why you are eligible or not.
- Fairness: Ensures funds go to the most deserving families.
- Dynamic Updates: Families can update their information through surveys if their situation changes.
BISP Payments in 2025
The BISP program has moved fully to digital payments. Currently, eligible women receive Rs. 13,500 every quarter.
How to Receive Your Payments
Beneficiaries can collect their money through:
- Bank Transfers – directly into your linked bank account.
- HBL Konnect Agents – withdraw money using biometric verification.
- BISP Centers – in areas without banking facilities.
This shift reduces fraud and ensures beneficiaries get the full amount without deductions.
Benefits of the New 8171 Update
- Saves time and travel by avoiding BISP office visits.
- Improves trust and transparency in the system.
- Empowers women to manage their financial aid directly.
- Provides real-time updates on eligibility and payments.
