If you’re still waiting for your payment from the Benazir Kafalat Program, there’s good news. The BISP 8171 Second Phase Payment is officially set to start soon, and many more beneficiaries will be able to collect their funds. In this article, we’ll break down all the important updates about the second phase, including the starting date, included districts, and how to check your payment status easily.
BISP 8171 Second Phase Payment Date Announced
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has confirmed that the second phase of 8171 payments will begin on May 1, 2025. This phase is specially organized for women who did not receive their installment during the first phase. Officials report that around 70% of women were paid in the first phase, and the rest will be covered now.
In addition to the regular Kafalat Program payments, the funds for the Benazir Educational Scholarships (Taleemi Wazaif) will also be disbursed alongside. This means if your children are enrolled in the educational support program, you’ll get both payments at once—an excellent relief for many families.
If you haven’t received your first payment yet, there’s no need to panic. Your turn is coming up very soon with the second phase rollout.
Districts Covered Under the Second Phase
The second phase will cover a wide range of districts across Pakistan, including areas in Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
Here’s a quick look at some of the major areas:
-
Punjab: Lahore, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Gujrat, Bahawalpur, Sargodha, Sheikhupura, Okara, and more.
-
Sindh: Karachi (Central, East, South, West, Malir), Hyderabad, Sukkur, Khairpur, Thatta, and others.

How to Check Your BISP 8171 Payment Status
It’s easy to check whether your payment is ready. Here’s a simple method:
-
Take your valid CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card).
-
Send your CNIC number (without any spaces or dashes) to 8171 via SMS.
-
Wait for a confirmation reply from BISP.
The reply will tell you whether your payment is ready for collection. If you don’t get a reply, or if there’s an issue, it’s a good idea to visit the nearest BISP office to get more information.
Pro Tip: Make sure your CNIC is updated. Expired or old CNICs can delay your payment process.
Important Notice for New Registrations
If you are not yet registered with the Benazir Kafalat Program, now is the best time to act. Women can register by updating their CNIC information at the nearest BISP Tehsil Office. After completing the registration, you will become eligible to receive a quarterly financial assistance of Rs. 13,500.
The BISP team is working hard to enroll all eligible women to ensure that financial aid reaches every deserving household.

Another great update: If your children are part of the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif (educational scholarships), you will also receive the educational fund along with your kafalat payment. This additional support can help with school fees, books, and other education-related expenses.
Make sure your children’s school details are properly updated in the BISP database to avoid any delays or missing payments.
