In mid-February 2026, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) officially launched its first quarterly disbursement cycle of the year. While many beneficiaries are seeing a base amount of Rs. 13,500, thousands of families with updated NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) records or those in high-poverty tiers are receiving the full Rs. 14,500 installment.
With the June 30, 2026 survey deadline approaching, verifying your status is no longer optional—it is a requirement to prevent your account from being permanently blocked.

How to Check Your BISP Status (2026 Digital Methods)
1. The 8171 Web Portal (Real-Time History)
The portal has been upgraded to show your “Payment History.”
- Visit 8171.bisp.gov.pk.
- Enter your 13-digit CNIC (no dashes).
- Solve the security captcha and click “Check Status.”
- Result: You will see your exact amount and whether the funds are “Released” or “On Hold” for survey reasons.
2. SMS Tracking (Free of Cost)
- Send your CNIC to 8171.
- In 2026, the response includes your PMT (Poverty) Score. If your score is above 32, you may receive a message asking you to re-verify your income.
The “June 30” Deadline: Why Your Survey Matters
If you have been a beneficiary for more than 3 years, you are part of the “Recertification Drive.”
- The Rule: You must visit a BISP Tehsil Office to complete a Dynamic Survey.
- The Consequence: If you do not update your family and income details by June 30, 2026, your name will be removed from the updated list, and you will be disqualified for the next 3 years.
- What to Bring: Original CNIC, Children’s B-Forms, and your latest electricity bill.
Where to Collect Your Money: The 2026 “No-Queue” Shift
BISP has significantly expanded payment points to end the “campsite” culture.
- Digital Wallets: Millions are now receiving funds via JazzCash, Easypaisa, or the BISP Social Protection Wallet. If your wallet is active, you can withdraw from any retail shop.
- ATM Access: Use biometric ATMs of Bank Alfalah, HBL, Bank of Punjab (BOP), or UBL.
- PayPak Cards: Families with consistent fingerprint issues are now being issued PayPak Debit Cards to withdraw funds without needing a biometric scan every time.
