After months of waiting, the 8171 Tracking Portal is finally restored in October 2025, bringing relief to millions of Pakistani families who depend on the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and Ehsaas Kafalat Scheme. The updated portal now allows users to check payment details, eligibility, and registration status online — quickly, securely, and without long queues.
What Is the 8171 Tracking Portal?
The 8171 portal is the official online system created by the Government of Pakistan to help citizens track their BISP and Ehsaas Kafalat benefits. Through this platform, families can check whether they qualify for financial support and when their next payment is due.
All you need is your 13-digit CNIC number — no paperwork, no travel, and no middlemen. This makes the process simple, transparent, and accessible to everyone, especially those in remote areas.
Why Was the Portal Unavailable?
The portal experienced downtime earlier in 2025 due to several technical and system updates. According to officials, the main reasons were:
-
Heavy online traffic causing slow performance
-
System upgrades to include new 2025 beneficiaries
-
Security improvements to prevent fake registrations
Now, with its restoration in October 2025, the portal has been redesigned for faster performance, improved security, and better access for all users.
How to Check BISP Payments Online
Checking your BISP payment through the 8171 portal is very simple. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:
-
Open your web browser and visit 8171.bisp.gov.pk
-
Enter your 13-digit CNIC number carefully
-
Type the captcha code displayed on the screen
-
Click Submit
-
Your eligibility and payment details will appear instantly
You can see your payment status, collection point, and whether your CNIC is verified or still under process.
New and Improved Features in the 2025 Update
The restored 8171 portal now comes with several new features that make it easier for users to stay informed:
-
Faster CNIC Verification: Quick and accurate identity checks for all applicants.
-
SMS Alerts: Instant messages for every payment installment.
-
Family Registration Check: Link all family members under one CNIC.
-
Online Complaint Form: Report any issue directly through the website.
These updates make the system smoother and more reliable, reducing the need to visit local offices unnecessarily.
Who Can Apply for the BISP & Ehsaas Kafalat Programs?
To qualify for financial assistance through BISP in 2025, applicants must meet the following conditions:
-
Monthly income below Rs. 40,000
-
No family member employed by the government
-
Ownership of agricultural land less than 2 acres
-
Priority given to widows, divorced women, and senior citizens

If your CNIC shows “Not Registered,” you can visit the nearest BISP Tehsil Office, complete the NSER registration, and check your status online after biometric verification.
Common Problems and Quick Solutions
Even with the new system, users may face minor issues such as:
-
Captcha errors: Refresh the page or use another browser.
-
Slow loading: Try during non-peak hours.
-
CNIC under verification: Wait for NADRA updates.
-
Payment not visible: Check again after 24 hours.
Staying patient and following these steps can help you get accurate results.

The BISP 2025 initiative continues to focus on women empowerment by ensuring that financial support reaches women directly. This not only helps them manage household expenses but also promotes economic independence and stability.
Tips for a Smooth Experience
