BISP 8171 Adds New Districts in August 2025 – Full List Here

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is constantly working to expand its reach to deserving families across Pakistan. In a recent development, BISP has added new districts in August 2025 to ensure that more low-income households can benefit from the 8171 Ehsaas Kafalat program.

A large number of families, especially in newly merged or less-developed areas, were still outside the system. Keeping that in view, the government has extended the BISP coverage to several additional districts and tehsils, making the program more accessible and inclusive.

This guide will help you understand which new areas have been included, how to check your eligibility, and how to verify your CNIC for payments using the updated 8171 web portal.

What’s New in August 2025?

In August 2025, BISP has officially announced the inclusion of new districts and tehsils under the 8171 program. This expansion mainly targets regions where poverty is widespread and previous access to welfare programs was limited.

These updates include:

• Inclusion of more rural and underprivileged districts.
• New registration centers opened in recently added tehsils.
• Mobile registration vans launched in remote areas for easier access.
• Updated data integration with NADRA for accurate CNIC verification.

Why BISP Is Adding More Districts?

The core goal of BISP is to provide financial support to those who truly need it. However, many families in distant or newly formed districts were still unregistered or uninformed about their eligibility.

Reasons for expansion:

• Rising inflation and unemployment in rural and disaster-hit areas.
• More funds allocated in the 2025 federal budget for poverty alleviation.
• Need for better inclusion of women and elderly applicants from remote areas.
• To ensure no family is left behind in the digital CNIC verification system.

Common Issues Faced in New Areas

Even after expansion, some residents face difficulties. Here are realistic challenges with possible solutions:

1. Mobile Network Issues

In areas like Tharparkar or Zhob, weak signal makes it hard to receive 8171 SMS.

Solution: Visit the tehsil office manually to check status.

2. Unregistered CNICs

Some citizens, especially women, may not have updated CNICs.

Solution: First visit NADRA to get an updated CNIC with your correct district, then apply again.

3. No Awareness

Many locals still don’t know how to use the 8171 web portal.

Solution: Ask any relative with internet access to help you OR go to registration support camps launched by BISP.
