Key Highlights of the New BISP 8171 Budget 2025
The government has increased the BISP budget from PKR 450 billion in 2024 to PKR 530 billion in 2025. This is the largest budget ever given to the Benazir Income Support Programme. According to Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, the cash aid per family is also increased from PKR 8,500 to PKR 10,000 every quarter. Over 9.3 million families will now benefit under the 8171 Ehsaas program.
Here is a comparison of last year and this year’s budget:
| Budget Year | Total Budget (PKR) | Families Covered | Payment per Family |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 450 Billion | 8 Million | PKR 8,500 |
| 2025 | 530 Billion | 9.3 Million | PKR 10,000 |
This budget also includes more funds for Benazir Taleemi Wazaif and food subsidies. The focus is to fight hunger and keep children in school through regular stipends.
Who Qualifies Under the New BISP 8171 Budget 2025 Eligibility Criteria
The eligibility criteria have been made stricter to ensure that only the most needy families receive support. People who own land, have government jobs, or pay taxes regularly are not eligible. The program uses data from NADRA and NSER surveys to select families who truly need help. Widows, people with disabilities, orphan guardians, and unemployed women can apply.
To check if you’re eligible, visit the 8171 web portal and enter your CNIC number. You’ll get a message about your status. If you’re eligible, you’ll be guided on how to collect your money. It’s important to keep your mobile number active and updated in your NADRA profile.
How To Register or Check Payment Status Under BISP 8171 Budget 2025
To register for the new BISP 2025 support, go to https://8171.bisp.gov.pk. First, enter your 13-digit CNIC number. If you are already in the system, you’ll see your status. If not, you may be asked to visit a nearby BISP office. Bring your original CNIC, your children’s B-Form, and utility bills as proof.
You can also send your CNIC number to 8171 via SMS. If you qualify, you’ll get a confirmation message with details about your payment. Payments can be collected from HBL Konnect, Easypaisa, or nearest BISP centers. If you don’t receive your payment, call the BISP helpline 0800-26477 for help.
District-Wise Distribution: Who Will Receive Aid First in 2025?
BISP Phase 1 payments will start in July 2025. Priority will be given to flood-affected districts and underdeveloped regions like Tharparkar, Dera Ghazi Khan, and Swat. These areas have seen major poverty, and the government wants to make sure they get help first. Urban districts will receive aid in Phase 2, starting in August.
The payments will be sent every three months. This means you will get four payments in a year. If your area is listed in Phase 1, make sure your CNIC is updated and your contact number is working. That’s how BISP will inform you of your payment release.
New BISP 8171 Budget 2025 – Impact on Women and Children
One of the key goals of the Benazir Kafalat program is to empower women. The 2025 budget gives more attention to women-led households, especially widows and mothers. Each registered woman receives the cash directly to her name. This helps reduce financial control by others in the family.
Also, the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif program has been expanded. Now more school-going children will get monthly support. For example, girls from Grade 1 to 10 will receive PKR 1,000 to 3,000 monthly. This is to reduce dropouts and encourage girls’ education in poor areas.
Digital Updates and Technology Involvement in BISP 8171 Payments
This year, digital payment methods are being expanded. BISP has started linking with Easypaisa, JazzCash, and HBL Konnect. Payments will be faster and more secure. A new mobile app is also in development to help users check their balance, see transaction history, and file complaints.
The biometric verification system has been improved. Now, your fingerprint is required to collect payments. This change will help stop fraud and ensure that only eligible people get the money. These updates make BISP smarter and easier to use.
