The Ehsaas 8171 Preparation Point system was introduced to make registration easier, faster, and more transparent in 2026. Under the updated framework of the Ehsaas Program and the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), new facilitation points are now active across Pakistan to help unregistered and previously ineligible families complete their enrollment without confusion.
These preparation points are designed to reduce errors during registration and ensure that deserving households can access the Rs. 13,500 financial assistance smoothly.
What Is the Ehsaas 8171 Preparation Point?
The 8171 Preparation Point is a government-supported facilitation setup that assists citizens before and during the NSER dynamic survey process.
It helps with:
- CNIC verification before registration
- Guidance for first-time applicants
- Re-survey support for previously ineligible families

This system works alongside BISP Tehsil Offices, NADRA verification, and the 8171 SMS service.
