BISP 8171 Web Portal: Likely to Be Reactivated in July 2025

If you are receiving help from the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) or planning to join, then you must know about the 8171 web portal. This is the main website where people check their PMT score, eligibility, installment details, and registration status. But for the last few months, this portal has been closed, causing trouble for many families, especially poor women across the country.

In this article, we will give you the full details about why the 8171 portal was closed, what progress has been made, and when it will be available again. You will also find out about the important changes BISP is making and how you can prepare for them.

Why Was the 8171 Web Portal Closed?

Many people are asking why the 8171 portal has not been working for so long. According to official sources, the BISP team closed the portal for an upgrade. The goal of this upgrade is to improve the website and make it faster, safer, and more user-friendly.

Some of the key reasons for closing the portal include:

Updating old data and adding new data of registered women.
Making the system more secure to stop fraud or errors.
Adding information about new beneficiaries who recently completed their survey.
Adjusting eligibility based on new PMT scores after fresh surveys.

The upgrade is meant to help BISP manage the system more efficiently and give better services to poor and deserving families across Pakistan.

Which Women Are Being Removed from the Program?

While the portal is being updated, the government is also reviewing its list of beneficiaries. Reports confirm that around 35 lakh (3.5 million) women are being removed from the Benazir Kafalat Program. This includes:

Women who did not complete their dynamic survey.
Women whose PMT score is now higher than 32 after re-checking.
Women from families who received loans under the Assan Karobar Card.

The PMT (Poverty Measurement Tool) score is used to find out whether a person is financially eligible for BISP or not. If the score goes above 32, then the woman is no longer considered eligible.

Is New Data Being Added?

Yes, while many are being removed, new women are also being added to the program. The data of those who recently completed their dynamic survey is being added to the system. But this process takes time, as the BISP team needs to cross-check and verify all details to make sure only deserving families are included. This is one of the main reasons why the web portal is still not active.

When Will the Portal Be Restored?

As per the latest update, about 60% of the upgrade work is complete, and the portal will be active again in July 2025. Once it is restored, you will be able to check your status, eligibility, and other details just like before. This is good news for all those waiting for their new installment or trying to check their application status.

Problems Faced by People Due to Portal Closure

Because of the web portal being offline, many women are facing problems like:

Not being able to check their new installment.
Not knowing whether they are still eligible or not.
Not receiving any update after registration or survey.

BISP understands these issues and is working to restore the portal as soon as possible.

What Should You Do Right Now?

Until the web portal is fully restored, you should:

Visit your nearest BISP office to complete your dynamic survey if not done yet.
If your PMT score is high, still go to the office and get your case checked.
Stay updated through the official BISP website and social media.
Call the BISP helpline 0800-26477 for any guidance or complaints

Conclusion

The restoration of the 8171 web portal is a big relief for poor and deserving families. Once it is active in July 2025, you will again be able to check all your BISP-related details online. In the meantime, make sure your survey is completed and all your documents are ready. If you are not yet a part of the program, visit the nearest BISP Tehsil office and complete your registration process. This will help you benefit from financial support in the future.
