8171 Tracking Portal Restoration 2025
The 8171 Tracking Portal has officially been restored in October 2025 to help millions of Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) beneficiaries check their Rs.13,500 payment online before visiting collection centers. This update is part of the government’s ongoing effort to ensure transparency, fairness, and quick financial support for poor families in Pakistan.
Beneficiaries can now easily check their eligibility and payment status by entering their 13-digit CNIC number on the official 8171 portal. This saves time, prevents confusion, and reduces unnecessary travel.

Why the 8171 Tracking Portal Restoration is Important
The restoration of the 8171 portal has made a big difference for families depending on BISP funds. Before this update, people had to visit collection centers without knowing whether their payments were ready, which caused long queues and delays.
Now, the online tracking system provides real-time updates linked to each beneficiary’s CNIC, helping families plan their collection visits more easily. It has also helped the government build trust and transparency with the public by removing middlemen and reducing fraud.
