How to Know If You’ve Been Selected for This Phase
BISP uses a verification system linked with NADRA and mobile network providers to ensure smooth delivery. Once the payment process is initiated in your district, eligible beneficiaries will receive an official SMS from 8171.
This message will not only confirm your eligibility. But also provide you with the name and address of your assigned payment campsite. You are advised to avoid any unverified messages from other numbers, as fraud attempts have been reported in past cycles.
If you do not receive any message even after April 28, you can check your status online via the 8171 web portal or visit your nearest BISP Tehsil office for assistance.
Step-by-Step Process to Collect Your Payment
To help beneficiaries understand the on-ground process. Here is a detailed guide on how you can receive your payment safely and quickly:
- SMS Confirmation: Wait for the official 8171 message confirming your eligibility and campsite location.
- Visit Campsite: Go to the designated site with your original CNIC.
- Biometric Verification: Your identity will be confirmed using NADRA’s fingerprint system.
- Payment Disbursement: Once verified, your amount will be disbursed via BISP partner banks or mobile wallets.
- Exit Screening: Before you leave, officials will confirm that you’ve received your full amount without deductions.

Missed the First Phase? Here’s Why and What You Can Do
If you were expecting your payment during the first phase and didn’t receive it, don’t worry. BISP has stated that several cases were withheld due to technical issues such as fingerprint mismatches or CNIC data discrepancies.
