8171 New Payment of 13,500 PKR: What You Need to Know
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has announced the distribution of a new installment of 13,500 PKR for eligible families in February 2025. Many families, especially those who were unable to receive their installments in January, are eagerly awaiting this payment. As the second week of February progresses, this is welcome news for those who have been waiting for months.
The delay for some families was due to various factors, but now, with the release of this new installment, eligible recipients will be able to collect their due payments. The good news is that the payments are being made to those families who were registered and eligible in the system, but did not receive the January installment.
Two Types of Women Eligible for the 13,500 PKR Payment
The 13,500 PKR payment will be issued to two specific groups of women in February 2025.
Regular Beneficiaries of BISP
First, all women who have been regular beneficiaries of the Benazir Income Support Program and who have been receiving installments since the program’s inception will be included. Those women who last received their installment in October 2024 and have been waiting since then will now receive the new payment of 13,500 PKR after February 15.
Newly Verified and Registered Women
The second group includes women who have recently undergone verification, participated in the dynamic survey, and completed the registration process. These women have now been added to the program, and their new 13,500 PKR installment is set to be released in this phase.
Updates on the Dynamic Survey and Registration
One of the most significant updates concerns women who have faced delays due to registration issues. Many individuals have been in the verification process for a year or more, while some have only completed their verification in the past six months. For these women, the dynamic survey process has been an ongoing challenge, but finally, a solution is in sight.
What Does the 8171 Portal Say?
Some individuals have already received messages through the 8171 portal stating they are part of the dynamic registry, indicating their registration process has been successful. For others, the message suggests that they will be notified soon about their eligibility. These notifications are excellent news for the families waiting for confirmation of their status. The waiting period is expected to be over soon as approximately four lakh new women have been successfully screened and included in the program.
How to Check Your 13,500 PKR Payment
Now that the new installment has started rolling out, it’s crucial to know how to check if your payment has been issued. There are two ways to verify the payment status.
1. Check Payment Status via SMS (8171)
To check your payment status via SMS, simply send a message to 8171 using the phone number you registered with. If eligible, you will receive an SMS confirming your payment status.
2. Check Payment Status via the 8171 Web Portal
Another convenient method to check your payment is by visiting the 8171 web portal. Follow these steps:
- Go to the 8171 web portal.
- A form will appear where you need to enter your Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) number and a captcha code.
- Once entered, click on the relevant option to check your payment status.
If your payment has been processed, you will be able to see the details on the page.
New Women Added to the BISP Program
If you are a woman who hasn’t received the installment yet, you may be wondering what your next steps should be. For women who have not yet received the payment, the system may ask you to register in the dynamic registry or may inform you to wait for further instructions via the 8171 SMS service. Don’t worry, as the process of qualifying new women is ongoing. A significant number of women have already been qualified and are now receiving their payments.
Qualification and Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for the Benazir Income Support Program, the poverty score (PMT score) of women must be below a certain threshold. If you belong to a low-income family and have received a message indicating that you have qualified, your installment of 13,500 PKR will be released soon.
Conclusion
The 13,500 PKR installment for eligible women under the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has officially begun in Phase 1 of 2025. Beneficiaries can check their payment status through the 8171 web portal or SMS service. Payments are being distributed through designated BISP campsites, banks, JazzCash, and Easypaisa.
