The Government of Pakistan has confirmed that the first quarterly installment for 2026 has been completed, and the April 2026 (second quarter) disbursement is now the primary focus for beneficiaries. As of March 29, 2026, the 8171 system has been updated to reflect the new payment amounts and the upcoming Ramadan relief integration.
BISP 8171 Payment Schedule 2026
The payment for the second quarter (April – June) is being released in a phased manner to manage crowds at payment centers.
| Phase | Estimated Timeline | Target Group |

| Phase 2 | Mid-April 2026 | Rural tehsils in Punjab, Sindh, KPK, and Balochistan. |
| Phase 3 | Late April 2026 | Families who recently updated their NSER survey or have pending verification. |
Updated Payment Amounts for April 2026
Due to the 15% increase approved by the government to combat inflation, the total amount received in April may include special relief:
- Benazir Kafaalat (Base): Rs. 13,500 – Rs. 14,500
- Ramzan Relief Package: Rs. 10,000 (For eligible low-income families via 8171 or 9999).

How to Check Your 8171 Status (Today Update)
There are two official ways to verify if your April installment is ready for withdrawal:
1. The 8171 Web Portal
- Go to 8171.bisp.gov.pk.
- Enter your 13-digit CNIC number.
- Input the 4-digit Captcha code shown in the image.
- Click “Check Eligibility” to see your current balance.
2. The 8171 SMS Service
- Type your 13-digit CNIC number in a new text message.
- Send it to 8171.
- You will receive a confirmation message stating your eligibility and if the payment is available in your account.
Important Reminder: NSER Survey Update
If your 8171 status shows “Survey Expired” or “Ineligible,” you must visit the nearest BISP Tehsil Office. The government requires all beneficiaries to update their NSER Dynamic Survey every three years. Bring your original CNIC and children’s B-Forms to ensure your PMT score remains below 32 for continued support.
Safety Tip: BISP registration and the 8171 service are completely Free. Never pay an agent for “verification” or “withdrawal fees.” Only trust messages from the official five-digit code 8171.
