Every month, thousands of low‑income families across Pakistan look forward to the BISP 8171 payment list. For September 2025, a new batch has been announced — and people are eager to check whether their names are included, how much support they’ll get, and how to collect it. This post walks you through all that, step by step.
What’s the 8171 Payment List Anyway?
In simple terms, this is the list showing who’s eligible for the BISP (Benazir Income Support Programme) stipend in a given month. It’s based on:
- The latest NSER survey, so your household data is up-to-date
- CNIC verification via NADRA, to prevent impersonation
- BISP’s existing registration records
Only families that pass the poverty and income thresholds make it to the list. Once your CNIC is confirmed, you can get your payment via banks, ATMs, or BISP centers.
What’s New in September 2025
Some key points to remember this time:
- Payment amount under the Kafalat program: Rs 13,500
- Payments will be disbursed in three phases to ease crowding
- Many new families have been added, especially in Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
- You’ll be able to withdraw from HBL and Bank Alfalah ATMs
- As always, verification (especially biometric) is needed
How to Check If Your Name Is on the List
You’ve got three easy options:
- SMS
Send your CNIC number to 8171 — you’ll get a reply with your status and payment details. - Online Portal
Go to 8171.bisp.gov.pk, enter your CNIC and the captcha, and your result will show instantly. - Visit a BISP Office
Drop into your local BISP or Tehsil office, show your CNIC, and staff can check it for you.
Schedule & Payment Phases (September 2025)
Because of how spread out the country is, BISP is doing this in three phases:
Phase | Areas Covered | Approximate Start |
---|---|---|
Phase 1 | Urban parts of Punjab, Sindh (Karachi, Hyderabad, etc.) | Early September |
Phase 2 | KP, Balochistan | Mid September |
Phase 3 | Rural Punjab, interior Sindh, GB | Late September |
Who Qualifies This Month?
If you’re wondering whether your family might make the cut, here are the usual conditions:

- Households with school-going children may also qualify for Taleemi Wazaif
- Pregnant women or mothers with newborns might get support under Nashonuma
How to Collect Your September Payment
You have two main options:

Visit your nearest BISP or tehsil office, show your CNIC, verify biometrics, and get your cash.
