In 2026, the 8171 Web Portal has undergone a major technical upgrade to support the new Rs. 13,500 quarterly Kafaalat stipend (which some districts are seeing increased to Rs. 14,500 due to recent inflation adjustments).
The portal is now the primary hub for managing the transition from “Cash Camps” to the new BISP Digital Wallet system. If you haven’t checked your status since January 2026, your record likely requires a Dynamic Survey update to keep your payments active.
New Features of the 8171 Portal in 2026
The updated portal at 8171.bisp.gov.pk now provides more than just eligibility checks:
- Wallet Verification: Check if your CNIC is already linked to a digital wallet (JazzCash, Easypaisa, or a Partner Bank).
- PMT Score Tracking: View your latest Poverty Means Test (PMT) score from the 2026 NSER Survey.
- Installment History: A clear breakdown of your last four payments, including Taleemi Wazaif (Education Stipends) for children.
- Registration Center Locator: Real-time map links to the nearest BISP Tehsil Office or Maryam Nawaz Health Clinic for registration.
Step-by-Step: Checking Your 2026 Status
The process remains simple, but the security check (Captcha) has been updated to prevent bot traffic.
- Visit: Go to 8171.bisp.gov.pk. (Check for the “https” and the gov.pk extension to avoid fake sites).
- CNIC: Enter your 13-digit CNIC without any spaces or dashes.
- Captcha: Enter the 4-digit code shown in the image.
- Submit: Click the green “Check Eligibility” (Maloom Karen) button.
What Your 2026 Status Message Means
The portal now uses clearer language to tell you exactly what to do:
| Status Message | Meaning & Action Required |
| Eligible (Released) | Your Rs. 13,500 is ready. You can withdraw it via biometric ATM or your linked mobile wallet. |
| Validation Required | Your 3-year survey has expired. You must visit a BISP Tehsil Office for a Dynamic Survey to unblock funds. |
| Account Not Linked | You are eligible, but you haven’t activated your digital wallet yet. Visit a partner bank or JazzCash agent. |
| Ineligible (PMT > 32) | Your household income/assets exceed the current threshold. You may appeal if your financial situation has changed. |
