Method 1: BISP Check Balance Online by CNIC (Via 8171 Web Portal)

The fastest and most reliable way to check your exact account balance is through the official BISP 8171 tracking portal. This method requires a smartphone or computer with an active internet connection.

Follow these simple steps carefully:

1. Visit the Official Portal: Go directly to the official tracking website: 8171.bisp.gov.pk. (Note: Always ensure the URL ends with ‘gov.pk’ to avoid fake websites).
2. Enter Your CNIC Number: On the main screen, you will see a box. Type the 13-digit Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) number of the registered female head of the family. Do not use dashes (e.g., type 3520212345671).
3. Solve the Captcha Image: Look at the 4-digit numeric code shown in the image on your screen and type those exact numbers in the given box.
4. Click “Maloom Karein” (Check Status): Press the green search button.

Understanding Your Screen Result:

Once you click the button, the portal will show your current status:

• “Aap ki payment Rs. 10,500 jama ho chuki hai” (Payment Deposited): This means your balance is ready, and you can visit the nearest retailer or ATM to withdraw it.
• “Janchan partal jari hai” (Verification in Process): Your NSER survey data is currently being reviewed. Please wait for a few weeks.
• “Record Not Found”: You are not registered in the BISP database. You need to visit the BISP Tehsil office for the Dynamic Registry Survey.

Method 2: Check BISP Balance via 8171 SMS (Offline Method)

If you do not have a smartphone or internet access, there is absolutely no need to worry. The government has provided a quick SMS service for a BISP check balance by CNIC.

Here is how you can check your payment status via SMS:

1. Open the Messages (SMS) App on your mobile phone.
2. Create a New Message.
3. Type the 13-digit CNIC number of the registered beneficiary (without dashes).
4. Send this CNIC number to the official shortcode 8171.
5. Wait for 2 to 5 minutes. You will receive an official reply from 8171 stating your exact balance status and whether your funds have been released for this quarter.

Important Warning: Only trust messages received from “8171”. If you receive an SMS from a standard 11-digit mobile number claiming your BISP funds are ready, it is a scam. Do not reply or send money to them.

Method 3: How to Check and Withdraw BISP Balance via ATM

Many beneficiaries complain that local POS retailers deduct Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,000 illegally when handing out the cash. To avoid this agent mafia, you can do a BISP check balance online by CNIC and withdraw your full Rs. 10,500 directly from an ATM.

BISP has partnered with HBL (Habib Bank Limited) in Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan, and Bank Alfalah in KPK and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Step-by-Step ATM Withdrawal Guide:

1. Visit any nearest HBL or Bank Alfalah ATM that has a Biometric (Thumbprint) Scanner.
2. Press the “Enter” or “Accept” button on the ATM machine (do not insert any card).
3. The screen will show language options. Select Urdu.
4. Select the “BISP” or “Ehsaas Program” option from the main menu.
5. Enter your 13-digit CNIC Number using the ATM keypad.
6. The machine will ask you to place your thumb on the glowing biometric scanner. Press your right or left thumb firmly.
7. Once your thumbprint is verified, your Current Balance will appear on the screen.
8. Select “Cash Withdrawal”, enter the amount (e.g., 10,500), and collect your full cash along with the printed receipt.

Tip: If the ATM biometric scanner fails to read your thumb, clean your thumb with a tissue or wash your hands and try again.

What to Do If Your Balance is Zero (0) but You Are Eligible?

Sometimes, women check their portal and find that their status is eligible, but their balance shows Rs. 0. This usually happens due to the following reasons:

• Phased Disbursement: The government releases funds in phases (District by District). Your district’s turn might be coming in the next few days. Keep checking the 8171 portal regularly.
• Account Blocked due to Inactivity: If you did not withdraw your money for two consecutive quarters (6 months), BISP might temporarily hold your funds. You will need to visit the BISP Tehsil office to reactivate your account.
• Thumb Verification Issue: Your funds are deposited, but your account is put on hold until you verify your biometrics at the NADRA office.
