The third phase of the Benazir Kafaalat Scheme has started. This article will guide you on how to check your payment status. You can verify your payment using the 8171 portal or SMS service. All you need is your identity card number.
Many women face problems when they go to collect payments without checking if their money has been released. They wait for hours at the center only to find out that their payment is not available. To avoid such issues, you can check your payment at home. If your payment has been released, you can visit the BISP cash center to collect it.
This process helps save time and effort. Women can easily confirm their payment status without unnecessary trouble. Two official methods have been introduced by the government for this purpose. You can either check through the 8171 SMS service or the 8171 portal.
Check Payment Through 8171 SMS
The 8171 SMS service is a simple way to check your payment status. Follow these steps to use it:
- Use the SIM card you registered with BISP.
- Send your 13-digit identity card number (without dashes) to 8171.
- Wait for a confirmation message with your payment details.
If you have lost your SIM or it is not registered, you can use the online portal instead.

Check Payment Through the 8171 Portal
If you cannot use the SMS method, the portal is another option. Follow these steps:
- Visit the official 8171 BISP website.
- Enter your 13-digit identity card number.
- Fill in the captcha code shown on the page.
- Click the “Know” button to view your payment details.
The portal provides instant updates, so you know your payment status before visiting the center.
What to Do If You Face Issues
If you face any problems checking your payment, there are other ways to get details:
- Call the official BISP helpline.
- Visit the nearest BISP office with your identity card.
These options ensure you get the required assistance.
Collecting Your BISP Payment
Once your payment is confirmed, you can collect it by following these steps:
- Take your original identity card to the nearest BISP cash center.
- Complete biometric verification at the counter.
- Collect your payment after verification.
Ensure you have your original identity card with you. Payments will not be processed with a copy or an expired card.
Key Points to Remember
- Always carry your original identity card.
- Ensure the phone number registered with BISP is active.
- Check your payment status through SMS or the portal before going to the center.
- For children under Benazir Taleemi Wazaif, maintain at least 80% school attendance to remain eligible.
