BISP 8171 Phase 2 – What’s New This April?
The Benazir Kafalat Program is now distributing Phase 2 payments to women across selected campuses. This phase brings significant financial relief, especially for mothers and caregivers.
🔹 Total Payment: Rs. 13,500
Women enrolled in the BISP program will now receive Rs. 13,500, covering both the quarterly support and updated child stipends.
🔹 Child Allowance Increased by Rs. 500
Each eligible child now qualifies for an additional Rs. 500. This increase applies automatically for registered children under the Taleemi Wazaif program.
🔹 Pending Child Payments Included
If you haven’t received child stipends for previous months, pending dues will be adjusted in this payout. Be sure to check your total balance to verify.
Tip: Always verify your amount before heading to the center. Some beneficiaries have up to Rs. 100,000 due because of accumulated payments.
📍 How to Check BISP Balance Before Visiting
Before visiting the center, you should confirm the available balance on your BISP card. This ensures you’re not wasting your time in case there are no funds loaded yet.
Ways to check your balance:
-
Visit your nearest BISP center
-
Use BISP official SMS code (8171) to verify your status
-
Inquire through bank ATM (if card-linked)
🧾 Fingerprint Verification – A Must for Payment
One of the most critical steps in the BISP payment process is fingerprint verification. Here’s how it works:
-
Only verify if your funds are available: The system will not proceed if your account has no funds.
-
If the agent says ‘no funds’ after fingerprinting: Don’t stay silent. Raise a complaint immediately at the help desk.
-
Ensure full payment: Always double-check your receipt to confirm you’re receiving the full Rs. 13,500 (including any child dues).
