The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has introduced a major financial relief update in 2026 as thousands of registered beneficiaries are expected to receive a double installment of Rs.27,000 under the 8171 payment system. This payment aims to support families whose previous installments were delayed or pending due to verification or survey issues.
The new payment adjustment is being processed through the official 8171 Web Portal, allowing beneficiaries to confirm eligibility using their CNIC from home.
What Is the 8171 BISP Double Payment 2026?
The double payment means eligible households will receive two quarterly installments together, totaling Rs.27,000 instead of the regular Rs.13,500 amount.
This decision mainly covers:
- Families with delayed payments
- Beneficiaries completing the NSER Dynamic Survey recently
- Previously verified but unpaid applicants
- Women reactivated in the BISP database
The initiative ensures no deserving household loses financial assistance due to technical or verification delays.
Who Can Receive Rs.27,000 Under BISP 8171
Not every beneficiary will receive the double payment. Eligibility depends on system verification through National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) records.
Eligible groups include:
- Approved Ehsaas Kafalat Program beneficiaries
- Families marked as payment pending in earlier cycles
- CNIC holders completing biometric verification
- Newly restored beneficiaries after re-survey
Applicants can confirm their status through the 8171 SMS service or online portal.

Why the Double Payment Matters
With rising living costs, the Rs.27,000 assistance package provides temporary relief for food, education, and household expenses. The payment also strengthens transparency by clearing backlog installments within the BISP system.
