BISP 8171 Digital Payments October 2025 – Bank Transfers and Sahulat Accounts Latest Update
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) continues to expand its digital payment system in October 2025. Under the new BISP 8171 Digital Payments 2025 framework, beneficiaries can now receive their stipends directly into bank transfers and Sahulat Accounts, making the process more transparent, fast, and accessible.
یہ اقدام حکومت پاکستان کی جانب سے ایک بڑا قدم ہے جس کے ذریعے بینظیر انکم سپورٹ پروگرام کے مستحق خاندانوں کو رقوم کی تقسیم مزید آسان، محفوظ اور شفاف بنائی گئی ہے۔ اب خواتین اور مستحقین اپنی ادائیگیوں کو بینک اکاؤنٹ یا سہولت اکاؤنٹ کے ذریعے وصول کرسکتے ہیں جو پہلے کے مقابلے میں زیادہ سہل طریقہ ہے۔
BISP 8171 Eligibility and Registration Update
To access digital payments, beneficiaries must first verify their eligibility through the BISP 8171 portal. Families registered under the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) can check their status online by sending their CNIC to 8171. Those not yet included are encouraged to visit their nearest Ehsaas or BISP registration centers.
Bank Transfers for Beneficiaries
In the latest update, BISP has started direct bank transfers with partner banks, including Habib Bank Limited (HBL), Bank Alfalah, and UBL. This shift reduces the dependency on payment agents and ensures that beneficiaries can withdraw funds through ATMs and bank branches without unnecessary deductions.
Key benefits of bank transfers:
- Quick and secure access to payments
- No extra charges or commissions
- Available through ATMs nationwide
Sahulat Accounts for Women Beneficiaries
The Sahulat Account system is designed especially for women beneficiaries of BISP. By linking their CNIC with an account in designated banks, women can receive payments directly. The government has also ensured that these accounts are zero-cost and require minimal documentation.
Advantages of Sahulat Accounts:
- Easy withdrawal at nearby bank branches
- Facility to save and use money like a regular account
- Increased financial independence for women

For October 2025, the BISP 8171 installment of Rs. 13,500 is being transferred digitally. Beneficiaries are advised to check their payment status through the 8171 web portal before visiting banks or ATMs. Those facing issues can register complaints via the BISP helpline or at the nearest tehsil office.
