8171 Payment Ehsaas Kafaalat for November
8171 Payment Ehsaas Kafaalat for November:The Ehsaas Kafaalat / BISP program is a major social safety net of the Government of Pakistan, aimed at supporting low-income women and families with cash assistance. The short-code 8171 is used to check eligibility, status and payment details.
- Check Eligibility & Status
Firstly, ensure that you are eligible for the payment and that your profile is up-to-date. The methods are:
- Send your 13-digit CNIC number (without dashes) via SMS to 8171. You will receive a free message indicating if you are eligible, payment ready, or not eligible.
- Or visit the official 8171 web portal: enter your CNIC, captcha, and click “Check Status”. The portal shows if you are registered, payment stage, etc.
- Make sure your CNIC is valid, your household survey (NSER) is done, and your Poverty Means Test (PMT) score qualifies you for the programme.
If your status shows “Payment Ready” or similar, you’re set to collect once funds are disbursed.
- Ensure Registration and Approval
If you were shown “Not Eligible” but believe you should be, check the following:
- Your household must be registered in the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER).
- The female applicant should be the head of household (or the eligible person) and must not be a government employee or a high-income tax filer.
- Your data must be correct (address, children count, income, assets). If it is outdated you may need to update through a local BISP office.
Once your status is “Ready”, you wait for an SMS notification about your payment date & method.

4.Step-by-Step: How to Collect Your Money
- After you receive SMS or portal status that funds are ready, locate your nearest payment outlet (bank branch, ATM, or mobile agent).
- Take your original CNIC, and optionally bring the SMS or print-out of status as proof.
- Upon arrival: verify your identity via CNIC and biometric (fingerprint/thumb).
- The bank/agent will process the payment and hand you the cash amount you are eligible for.
- Understand that some districts phase payments by date; if you arrive too early, you may be told to return on the announced date.
- After collection, keep the receipt if any, and ensure your name appears as paid in any future check.
- Important Tips & Precautions
- Always check your CNIC status via SMS or portal before visiting so you do not waste time.
- Do not pay any fee or give any money to an agent promising early payment—official payments are free.
- Use only official outlets promoted by the programme or bank; avoid unknown shops or unauthorized individuals.
- If your biometric verification fails (e.g., fingerprint mismatch) you may ask a local BISP office for assistance.
- If you move to a new district or your household details changed (marriage, death, children, assets) update your NSER registration; un-updated profiles sometimes cause delays or rejection.
Collect your payment within the window announced; after a cut-off you may lose the installment.
