For many low-income households across Pakistan, the latest BISP 8171 payment update brings much-needed relief at a time when daily expenses continue to rise. The Benazir Income Support Programme has started releasing the new Rs. 13,500 installment, and at the same time, thousands of additional families have been included after updated verification.
This article explains what the new payment update is, who has been added, how to check your CNIC status, and what beneficiaries should do next to receive their payment smoothly.
What Is the Latest BISP 8171 Payment Update
BISP has begun disbursing the latest Rs. 13,500 installment through its official 8171 system. This phase includes not only existing beneficiaries but also newly verified families who were previously waiting for confirmation.
Payments are being released in phases across provinces, allowing authorities to manage crowds and ensure smooth biometric verification at payment points.
Thousands of New Families Added – What Changed
One of the most important developments in this update is the addition of thousands of new eligible families. These households were included after recent data reviews and poverty score verification.
The inclusion is mainly based on:
-
Updated CNIC and household data

Poverty score (PMT) reassessment
-
Verification through official welfare databases
Families who were earlier marked as “under verification” may now see their status changed to eligible.
