The BISP 8171 provides quarterly cash assistance to women from poor families under the Benazir Kafalat program. Currently, December payments are being distributed in various districts. However, many women are yet to receive their payments and face difficulties understanding if their payments are released. To assist these women, this article explains how they can check their payments at home using their ID cards.
December Payments Update
Payments are being released in phases across the country. Currently, payments are ongoing in 86 districts as part of the second phase. Women from districts not included in this phase need not worry. Their payments will be released as soon as the third phase begins.
Ways to Check BISP 8171 Payments
The Benazir Income Support Program provides three methods for beneficiaries to check their payment details. Two methods allow checking payment details from home, while the third requires visiting the nearest BISP office.
Checking Payments Online Through the 8171 Web Portal
Beneficiaries can check their payment status using the 8171 web portal with an internet-enabled device. Follow these steps:
- Open Google and search for the 8171 web portal.
- Click on the official BISP website.
- Enter your ID card number and the captcha code visible on the screen.
- Press the submit button.
Your payment status will appear on the screen instantly. Ensure a stable internet connection while using this method.
Checking BISP Payments via SMS
For those without internet access, BISP offers an SMS service. Follow these steps:
- Open the text message option on your mobile phone.
- Type your ID card number.
- Send it to 8171.
You will receive a reply message with complete payment details. This method is quick and easy, though there may be delays in receiving a reply SMS.
Getting Payment Details from the BISP Office
If the online and SMS methods do not work, beneficiaries can visit their nearest BISP office. Here’s how:
- Go to the nearest BISP office.
- Provide your original ID card at the help desk.
- The BISP representative will share all payment details.
This method is less commonly used but is reliable when other options fail.
