BISP 8171 Double Payment August 2025 Update – Complete Guide for Rs 27,000 Relief

If you’re a registered beneficiary of the Benazir Income Support Programme and wondering why some people are talking about a Rs 27,000 double payment, you’ve landed on the right page.

In August 2025, BISP is rolling out a combined payment of Rs 13,500 x 2 = Rs 27,000 for thousands of families who missed their last payment or had their application stuck under verification. This is a real update, officially announced under the 8171 scheme, not a rumour or fake news.

What Is the BISP 8171 Double Payment in August 2025?

The BISP 8171 Double Payment refers to a combined installment being issued in August 2025. Instead of receiving Rs 13,500 (the usual quarterly support), eligible families will get Rs 27,000, two installments together.

Why? Because many people:

• Were eligible in May 2025 but didn’t get paid
• Faced biometric failures or CNIC expiry issues
• Were marked “under verification” due to survey delays
• Got blocked due to technical errors, but now cleared

Who Will Receive Rs 27,000 Double Payment?

Not everyone will get this double installment. Here’s a breakdown of who qualifies:

You will receive Rs 27,000 if:

• You were already registered in BISP and eligible for both May and August 2025 payments
• You didn’t collect your May payment due to biometric issues, CNIC expiry, or survey delays
• You completed the NSER survey update before June 30, 2025
• Your CNIC is valid, active, and shows in the BISP database
• Your PMT score is under the required threshold (usually under 32 or 37)

You won’t receive Rs 27,000 if:

• You registered after July 2025
• You were not eligible in the May cycle
• Your CNIC is still blocked, expired, or under review
• You missed both registration and NSER update deadlines

Why Did This Double Payment Happen?

This payment isn’t a bonus or gift, it’s a catch-up for thousands of families who faced system issues earlier this year. Here’s what led to it:

• In May 2025, many beneficiaries were marked eligible but never received their Rs 13,500.
• The issues encountered included fingerprint mismatch, CNIC expiry, unlinked SIM numbers, and NSER surveys marked as “pending”.
• BISP collected complaints from across the country and created a “pending list”.
• In August, the board approved releasing the backlog plus the current payment together.

How to Check if You’re Getting Rs 27,000

You can confirm your double payment status through three official methods:

Via SMS (8171)

• Open your messaging app
• Type your 13-digit CNIC number
• Send it to 8171
• Wait for the reply

If you’re eligible for the double payment, the SMS will confirm your payment amount, collection location, and status (e.g., “Payment Ready – Rs 27,000”).

Tip: Send the message from a SIM registered in your name (linked to CNIC) for best results.

Via Web Portal

• Go to: 8171.bisp.gov.pk
• Enter your CNIC number and captcha code
• Click “Submit”
• The screen will show your eligibility and payment status

Look for phrases like:

• “Eligible – Rs 27,000 Payment”
• “Payment Ready – Double Installment”
• “Visit the nearest center to collect cash.”

If it says No Record Found or Under Verification, your CNIC may still be pending re-approval.

Via BISP Office or Campsite

If you’re not receiving SMS or your portal status is unclear, visit the nearest BISP Tehsil Office, official campsite, or HBL Konnect retailer.

Bring your:

• Original CNIC
• Any old payment receipts or SMS
• If collecting for someone else, bring Power of Attorney and their CNIC

Ask the staff to check if your CNIC is listed for the Rs 27,000 payment. They’ll verify using their internal system.

When Will Payments Be Released?

The payment distribution is happening in phases, depending on your district and region.

Payments will be disbursed via

• HBL Konnect Agents (thumbprint required)
• Designated BISP Campsites
• Mobile Camps in far-flung villages
• ATMs (selected districts only)

What to Bring When Collecting Your Rs 27,000

To avoid rejection or delays at the center, bring:

• Your valid CNIC (original, not photocopy)
• Your registered SIM (in case of verification call)
• Clean thumb for biometric scan
• Optional: BISP registration slip or old payment receipt

If you’ve had fingerprint issues before, request facial verification at NADRA or ask for a manual token override at the BISP center.

Warning: Don’t Fall for Scams

Never give your CNIC, B-Form, or thumbprint to a third party unless it’s an official BISP staff member.

What If You Still Don’t See the Payment?

A written complaint or online form submission may also speed things up. Use WhatsApp complaint numbers if office access is difficult. If your CNIC still shows:

• Under Review
• No Record Found
• Not Eligible

Then:

• Visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office
• Ask for your case to be reviewed
• Re-submit or update your NSER survey
• Provide proof that you missed the May 2025 cycle due to technical reasons

Final Checklist

• CNIC is valid and renewed
• SMS sent to 8171
• Checked 8171 portal status
• Ready with a biometric scan at payment center
• No agents or middlemen involved
• Documents copied and saved

If you’re eligible, this Rs 27,000 double installment could make a real difference for your family. But don’t just assume you’re on the list, check your status, follow up, and stay alert for scams.

This is your right, not a favor. And the system is finally catching up to give people what they missed.
