What’s New in 2025?

The Ehsaas 8171 payment system has been upgraded for faster processing and fewer delays. In April 2025, the BISP team is focused on:

• Speeding up eligibility checks
• Avoiding biometric verification delays
• Expanding support to more low-income households

If you’re a returning beneficiary or a new applicant, it’s time to verify your eligibility and prepare for disbursement.

Eligibility Criteria

Not everyone qualifies, and that’s intentional. Here’s what makes you eligible:

• Your household income must fall below the national poverty threshold
• You must not own major assets like vehicles or large plots
• You’re registered under NSER or re-verified recently
• You don’t receive other government financial aid

Note: Data verification is ongoing, so if your status was previously “ineligible,” you might still qualify this time.

How to Check Your Eligibility – Step-by-Step

1. Open your messaging app
2. Type your CNIC number (without dashes)
3. Send it to 8171
4. Wait for a reply confirming your status

You can also check online through the official 8171 web portal if SMS doesn’t work.

How to Receive Your 15 April BISP Payment

Once you’re marked as eligible, here’s how to get your cash:

📌 Via Bank Account

• Go to your linked HBL, UBL, or Meezan Bank branch
• Bring your CNIC and biometric verification

📌 Via Ehsaas Center

• Visit the nearest center listed on the BISP website
• Bring original CNIC and thumb verification
• Ask for payment slip or token for tracking

Make sure your CNIC is valid and unblocked to avoid rejection.

Common Issues (And How to Fix Them)

📌 Biometric Failure?

• Retry at a different center or visit NADRA to update fingerprints

📌 No Response from 8171 SMS?

• Use the online portal or re-send after 24 hours

📌 Still Marked Ineligible?

• Visit the nearest BISP registration center and request re-verification

📌 Payment Delayed?

• Confirm disbursement from your bank or BISP center – avoid relying on rumors

Why This Program Matters

This isn’t just about monthly cash – it’s about economic survival. For many families:

• It helps cover essential expenses like food and school supplies
• Prevents families from falling deeper into poverty
• Offers dignity and support without complex paperwork

This April’s installment is expected to support over 9 million households, making it one of the largest welfare distributions in South Asia.
