8171 Portal Check Payment
The 8171 Portal Check Payment method has now been made very easy for women. If you are waiting for Rs 13,500 under the Benazir Kafalat Program or any other government assistance program, now you can check the status of your payment from home using just your CNIC number. For this, you will have to either send an SMS to 8171 or visit the government web portal 8171.bisp.gov.pk and enter the details.
If you do not receive the message or are getting messages like “Survey not completed”, “Biometric failed”, or “Ineligible”, then do not worry. Take your original CNIC, B form of children, recent utility bill and registered mobile number to the nearest BISP or NSER office. From the Women example, we learn that it is better to check the status of your CNIC on the portal yourself instead of waiting for an SMS so that you can get your financial assistance on time.
Always use your personal mobile and CNIC to check your payment, giving information to a non-government agent can be risky. The government has made this system transparent and easy so that women do not have to visit the office again and again. If you are eligible, just check your information at the right time and get your payment that is your right.
Why You Should Check Your BISP Payment Status Yourself
Many families still wait for a message from 8171 to know about their payment. But sometimes, these messages get delayed or never arrive due to technical or mobile number issues. That’s why checking your BISP payment status manually through the 8171 portal or SMS is the safest option.
By using your CNIC, you can directly verify whether your payment is approved, under review, or blocked due to any reason like thumb verification mismatch or incomplete NSER survey. This reduces stress and helps you take the right action on time.

Eligible – Payment Processed: Your payment is approved and is either on the way or already disbursed. You can collect it from the nearest payment center or BISP agent.
Under Review – Please Wait: Your dynamic NSER survey is still being verified. It may take a few weeks. No need to visit the office unless it is delayed for more than 30 days.
Not Eligible: You did not meet the poverty score or eligibility criteria set by the BISP program. You may need to wait for the next survey window or re-check your household info.
Survey Incomplete: Your household dynamic survey is missing. Visit the nearest NSER or BISP registration center to complete the NSER Survey.
