BISP 8171 April 2025 Payment Eligibility
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) provides Rs. 13,500 every three months to Pakistan’s poorest families. For April 2025 payments, check your status via the official 8171 web portal (8171.bisp.gov.pk). Currently temporarily closed for system updates and Eid-ul-Fitr holidays, the portal will reopen soon. Use this straightforward guide to confirm if you qualify and what to expect.
Who Qualifies for BISP Payments in April 2025?
BISP isn’t for everyone—it’s designed for those who need it the most. If you qualify, you could receive Rs. 13,500 in April 2025.
- Income Limit: Your entire household must earn under Rs. 25,000/month – they’re checking bank statements now.
- Valid CNIC Required: No active National ID Card? Automatic rejection from BISP 8171 payments.
- Poverty Score: Must hit 32-33 on the NSER survey – one point less and you’re disqualified.
- One Program Only: If you’re getting any other govt aid (like Zakat), you’re immediately flagged.
- Priority Cases: Widows, single moms, and disabled applicants get processed first – look for “(P)” in the system.
April Delays: Approved? Rural areas face 2-3 week delays – the 8171 portal still struggles with remote payments.
