Who Is Receiving Payments?
Women whose applications were approved and whose cards have been issued are now eligible to withdraw their financial assistance. BISP sends confirmation messages through its official shortcode, 8171, informing beneficiaries about their payment status.
It is important to note that not receiving an SMS does not automatically mean ineligibility. Sometimes, system delays or incomplete data can stop messages from being delivered on time.
How 8171 SMS Confirms Eligibility
The quickest way to check your payment status is through the 8171 SMS service.
Follow these simple steps:
-
Type your CNIC number (without dashes)
-
Send it to 8171
-
Wait for a reply confirming your eligibility
Only women who are correctly registered and eligible will receive a confirmation message.
What To Do If You Don’t Receive an SMS
If no response is received from 8171, beneficiaries should immediately visit their nearest Benazir office. BISP staff will check your records and guide you accordingly.
-
If eligible, the payment is released without delay
-
If ineligible, you may be asked to complete the registration process again
