The government now allows families to verify eligibility for the Rs. 25,000 October 2025 relief through the official 8171 web portal using only a 13-digit CNIC. This online check saves time, cuts travel costs, and gives instant updates about your payment status and collection channel.
Why the 8171 web portal matters
The 8171 web portal brings transparency and speed to relief distribution by showing real-time eligibility and installment details. It reduces reliance on middlemen, helps rural families avoid long queues, and gives official confirmation of whether the Rs. 25,000 payment is approved, pending, or not qualified for your CNIC.
How to check Rs. 25,000 on the portal
Open the official 8171 site, enter your full 13-digit CNIC (no dashes), solve the captcha and click Check Status. The page will show eligibility, payment amount, and the scheduled release phase. Always confirm the website ends with bisp.gov.pk to avoid fake portals and scams.
Quick step-by-step (one short try)
Visit the official 8171 portal on mobile or PC.
Type your 13-digit CNIC without spaces or dashes.
Complete the captcha and press Check Status.
Screenshot the result and note any payment channel shown for collection.
Example and SMS alternative
Example: enter 4210112345678 (replace with your CNIC) and click Check. No internet? Send your 13-digit CNIC by SMS to 8171 and wait for an instant reply that will read Eligible, Pending, or Not Eligible. Keep that SMS as your proof of status.
Who is most likely to qualify
Eligibility is determined from the NSER record and PMT (Proxy Means Test) score; priority is given to widows, female household heads, disabled persons, and ultra-poor families. If your PMT falls inside the current cut-off or you belong to a priority group, the portal will mark your CNIC as eligible.
Payment delivery methods — pick your channel
Approved funds can be issued via bank transfer, biometric ATM withdrawal, PayPak debit card, CNIC-linked mobile wallets, or authorised BISP centres. Use the method you registered with to avoid delays and keep original CNIC and linked account/wallet details handy at collection.
| Collection method | What you need |
| Bank transfer | Linked bank account + CNIC |
| Biometric ATM | CNIC + fingerprint verification |
| PayPak card | Card activation at partner bank |
| Mobile wallet | Registered mobile number + wallet link |
| BISP centre | Original CNIC and receipt |
Common problems and quick fixes
If the portal shows No Record or Pending, first retype your CNIC and try again during off-peak hours. If your CNIC is expired or NSER survey is incomplete, update NADRA or visit the nearest Tehsil Office with originals, photocopies, and B-Forms. Keep screenshots and SMS replies as proof during follow-up.
Security tips — avoid scams
Only use the official 8171 portal and SMS service. Never pay agents or share OTPs, CNIC pictures, or bank details with strangers. If someone promises to speed up your Rs. 25,000 payment for money, report them to BISP immediately and rely on the portal or 8171 SMS for real updates.
Troubleshooting checklist (do this if you see an error)
• Re-enter CNIC carefully and refresh the page.
• Try again late-night or early morning if the site is slow.
