8171 Tracking Portal Restored – October 2025 Update
The Government of Pakistan reopened the 8171 Tracking Portal in October 2025. This is very good news for thousands of low-income families who get help through the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) and Ehsaas Kafalat Scheme.
After being down for a few months, the portal is now working again. People can use their 13-digit CNIC number to check their payments, eligibility, and registration details online from home. The updated system is now faster, safer, and easier to use.
8171 Portal Helps You Check BISP Payments Online
Now people don’t need to visit offices or wait in long lines. With the 8171 portal, you can easily check your payment details online. This system also makes the process transparent and ensures equal access for everyone.
What is the 8171 Tracking Portal?
The 8171 Tracking Portal is an online service made by the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) with help from the Ehsaas initiative. It helps people check their information and payments easily.
You can:
- Check if you are eligible for BISP or Ehsaas Kafalat
- See your recent and upcoming payments
- Confirm if your CNIC is verified by NADRA
- View your household registration details
This online system saves time, reduces corruption, and helps make government aid more fair and open.
Why Was the 8171 Portal Down?
In mid-2025, the portal stopped working for some time. Many users couldn’t check their payments. The technical team found several issues and made system upgrades.
The main reasons were:
- Heavy traffic from too many users
- Adding new 2025 beneficiaries
- Updating security and verification systems
- Linking the database with NADRA
After fixing these problems, the portal was restored in October 2025 with better speed, security, and convenience.
New Features in the October 2025 Update
The new version of the 8171 portal includes:
- Instant CNIC verification for quick identity checks
- SMS alerts for payment updates

These updates make it easier for families to stay informed about their payments and eligibility.
