BISP 8171 Payment Method Change
Benazir Income Support Program has introduced a new retail model under BISP 8171 New Payment System from June 16, 2025, which aims to provide women with easy installments of Rs. 13,500 from nearby shops or retail agents. In this new system, women will no longer need to stand in long queues or at camps in the heat. Only the actual eligible woman will be able to receive her payment through biometric verification (thumbprint).
Transparency, time saving and relief from rush has been made possible through this model. Women just need to go to the nearest verified shop with their original identity card, get biometric verified, and receive the payment along with a receipt for the full amount. A registered mobile number can also be useful for this process, but is not mandatory. In addition, 24/7 facility is also available in the areas where this system has been activated.
The Government of Pakistan and BISP officials have decided to replace the old camp model with this system so that millions of women can receive their dues in a dignified, speedy and transparent manner. If you are eligible, check your eligibility immediately by sending your CNIC number to 8171 and contact the nearest agent to get the money.
