In July 2025, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) made a big announcement. Many new districts have been added to the BISP 8171 payment system. This means that people who were waiting for help can now get Rs. 13,500 cash under the Kafalat Program. It is a great step by the government to support families who are poor and facing hard times.
This new update is part of Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the program. If you live in one of the newly added areas, this might be your chance to get help. Read more details here in this article.

What Is New in July 2025 BISP Update?
The government has added more districts to the BISP system. These districts were not getting help before. Now, women from these places can get money easily. This update helps families living in villages, small towns, and far-off areas where life is harder.
The goal is to reduce poverty and support women-led homes that need money for food, bills, and school fees. Many of these families have no jobs or own very little.

How to Check BISP Eligibility
You don’t have to go outside to check if you are eligible. Just follow one of these simple ways:
1. SMS Method
- Write your 13-digit CNIC in your message
- Send it to 8171
- You will get a reply with your eligibility details
2. Online Method
- Visit the official BISP website: https://bisp.gov.pk
- Enter your CNIC number
- Click “Check Eligibility”
- The website will show if you are accepted
3. Visit the BISP Office
- Take your original CNIC
- Go to the nearest BISP Tehsil Office
- Ask them to check your status or update your NSER record
How to Get the BISP 8171 Payment?
If you are approved, you can collect the Rs. 13,500 from the following places:
- BISP Camps set up in your district
- Bank branches in some areas
- HBL Connect shops near you
- ATM machines (only in districts with biometric ATMs)
Make sure you bring your original CNIC and don’t give money to anyone. BISP is free for all users.
What If Your District Is Still Not Listed?
If your area is still not added, don’t worry. BISP adds new districts in every phase. Just keep your data updated and follow these tips:
- Check your eligibility regularly using 8171 or the web portal
- Complete or update your NSER survey
- Ignore fake news on social media
- Wait for your turn in the next phase
Why These New Districts Matter
This update is very important. Many people in small towns and villages do not get help because their district was not included. Now, those areas are also part of the support system.
This helps:
- Poor women to run their homes
- Children to continue school through Taleemi Wazaif
- Families to buy food, clothes, and medicine
- People to avoid loans or debt
This move is part of the government’s plan to fight poverty and support women in every corner of Pakistan.
