BISP 8171 Digital Mobile Wallet Account
BISP 8171 Digital Mobile Wallet Account: Pakistan’s largest welfare scheme, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), has now entered a new digital era. The government has announced that from September 2025, the installment of Rs 13,500 will be paid to eligible families through a digital mobile wallet. This step is a significant step towards transparency, speed, and empowerment of eligible women in the system.
What is 8171 BISP
Launched in 2008, BISP is a scheme to provide financial assistance to low-income families, especially women. Earlier, beneficiaries had to collect the money through designated centers or agents, which often saw long queues, wastage of time, and illegal deductions.
The new digital wallet system has been developed to eliminate these problems, which is also part of the promotion of the digital financial system in Pakistan.

What is a digital wallet?
A digital wallet is a mobile account into which the BISP installment is directly transferred. This account is linked to the beneficiary’s National Identity Card Number (CNIC) and can be accessed on platforms like JazzCash, Easypaisa, or HBL Konnect.
Through this wallet, she can withdraw money, pay bills, top up her mobile or even make purchases — all in a secure, transparent and easy-to-use system.
8171 BISP Key Features
- Direct Money Transfer
The entire Rs. 13,500 is transferred directly to the beneficiary without any middlemen or agents.
- Biometric Verification
The wallet is activated only after each woman’s fingerprints and CNIC are verified, reducing the chances of fraud.
- Mobile SIM in her name
To use the digital wallet, the mobile SIM must be registered in the woman’s name, so that the money is received securely.
- 24/7 Convenience
Now women don’t have to wait for a specific day or time; they can access their money whenever and wherever they want.

Why is this initiative important?

Initial success and expansion
The system was launched on a trial basis in some districts in early 2025, and after successful results, it is now being implemented across the country from September 2025.
The government and relevant agencies are providing free SIMs, awareness campaigns, and technical assistance in areas where mobile or network access is limited for women.
Challenges and precautions
In many areas, women are unfamiliar with the digital system. Training sessions, helplines, and user-friendly applications are being introduced for them.
Similarly, users are also being taught to keep their information safe, not pay any additional fees to agents, and contact the BISP helpline immediately in case of any complaint.

The way forward
The digital wallet system is not only modernizing BISP but also paving the way for a digital economy, financial inclusion, and women’s empowerment in Pakistan.
More facilities may be introduced under this system in the coming months, such as savings accounts for women, microloans, and other financial services.
This initiative is not just a one-time payment, but the beginning of a new life for women — towards self-reliance, respect, and progress.
