Pakistan’s flagship social welfare initiative, the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), continues to assist millions of low-income families through various schemes, including Kafalat, Taleemi Wazaif, and Emergency Cash. One of the most vital components for accessing your benefits is the 8171 Web Portal CNIC Confirmation & Payment Status Check.
If you’re unsure how to check your BISP eligibility, confirm CNIC registration, or track your payment status online, this updated 2025 guide explains everything in detail.
What is the 8171 Web Portal?
The 8171 Web Portal is an online platform launched by the Government of Pakistan to allow beneficiaries to:
-
Confirm CNIC registration for BISP
-
Check eligibility status for Kafalat, Taleemi Wazaif, or any new scheme
-
Track monthly or quarterly BISP payments
-
Submit new applications or complaints (in some cases)
It is free to use and available at https://8171.bisp.gov.pk.
Why CNIC Confirmation Matters in BISP?
All payments and eligibility under BISP are CNIC-linked. This means:
-
Your National Identity Card must be registered with NADRA
-
Your CNIC must be enrolled in BISP database
-
Your mobile number must match the one provided during registration
Failing to verify CNIC status often results in:
-
Missed payments
-
Eligibility rejection
-
Biometric verification issues
