The government has expanded digital delivery for BISP/Ehsaas payments so eligible families can receive the Rs. 13,500 instalment directly into electronic wallets and partner bank channels, reducing queues and middlemen while speeding up disbursements. This article explains how to check, verify and withdraw your funds step-by-step.
What changed — simple summary
A new rollout links 8171 eligibility checks with partner wallets and banks so payments can be credited to mobile wallets (HBL Konnect, Bank Alfalah wallets and pilot wallets) or collected at biometric-enabled ATMs and agents, helping beneficiaries get cash faster and more securely.
Why this matters for families
Digital wallet payments mean no cash deductions by agents, instant crediting when a district’s phase starts, and easier record-keeping for beneficiaries who can receive SMS alerts and use mobile apps or Konnect agents to withdraw funds. Keep your registered mobile active to get alerts.
How to check your 8171 payment — two quick ways
You can verify your Rs. 13,500 status online at the official 8171 portal by entering your 13-digit CNIC and captcha, or send the same CNIC by SMS to 8171 for an instant reply. Save screenshots or SMS replies as proof.
Step-by-step: Web portal check (example)
Open 8171.bisp.gov.pk on a phone or computer.
Type your 13-digit CNIC (for example: 4210112345678).
Complete the captcha and click Check Status.
You will see eligibility, payment amount and the assigned collection channel.
How the digital wallet works (short)
When your CNIC is approved, funds can be loaded into an Ehsaas digital wallet at participating banks or wallet providers. You can then withdraw at ATMs, Konnect/agent shops or use mobile payments for everyday purchases — no fees for receiving the stipend.
| Channel | How to get cash | Notes |
| HBL Konnect | Visit Konnect agent / ATM | Biometric or CNIC-based |
| Bank Alfalah Wallet | In-app or branch withdrawal | Card or app activation |
| Mobile Wallets (pilot) | JazzCash / Easypaisa agents | Pilot availability varies |
| BISP / Post centre | Manual collection | For remote areas |
Withdraw cash from a wallet — easy steps
Open the partner wallet app or visit a Konnect agent, choose Ehsaas/BISP withdrawal, provide your CNIC and fingerprint or PIN, then collect cash. If you have a PayPak/BISP card, activate it at a partner branch to use ATMs. Keep your ID ready.
New districts & phased schedule (what to expect)
Payments often release in phases by district to avoid crowding. If your CNIC shows “Eligible,” check the portal for the phase date. If “No record,” reverify NSER details at your local Tehsil Office — updates may add you in a later phase.
Troubleshooting — common issues and fixes
If portal returns “No Record,” first re-enter your CNIC, then: confirm NADRA details, ensure your mobile is registered with BISP, and visit the Tehsil Office with originals if required. For wallet errors, contact the partner bank’s helpline shown in the wallet app.
Security tips — protect your money
BISP/Ehsaas services are free; never pay agents for registration or faster processing. Do not share OTPs, CNIC photos, or PINs. Use only official portals (look for .gov.pk) and partner bank apps to check and withdraw funds. Report fraud attempts to BISP.
Examples — two realistic scenarios
If your CNIC shows Eligible + Wallet, open the designated wallet app and follow withdrawal steps. If your CNIC shows Eligible + Bank Transfer, log in to your bank app or visit the branch to confirm the credited amount and withdraw with your CNIC and ID.
