How to Check BISP Payment Without Portal – Quick & Easy Ways

Here are the most reliable alternative methods to verify your BISP cash assistance or stipend without needing the 8171 portal:

1. 8171 SMS Service (Best for All Phones)

How to Use:

• Open your phone’s SMS app.
• Type your 13-digit CNIC number (no spaces or dashes).
• Send it to 8171.
• Wait for a reply with your eligibility and payment status.

✅ Works on Jazz, Zong, Ufone, and Telenor
✅ Free of cost (August 2025 update)

2. Visit Your Nearest BISP Tehsil Office

If you’re not receiving a message, or your number is not working:

Steps:

• Take your original CNIC.
• Go to your nearest BISP registration center or Tehsil office.
• Ask the representative to check your 8171 payment status.
• They will tell you if your amount is approved, in process, or delayed.

Need help finding your center? Call 0800-26477 (BISP helpline).

3. Call BISP Helpline (Toll-Free)

Don’t want to travel? Simply call the BISP helpline:

• Dial 0800-26477 from any network.
• Share your CNIC and details.
• Ask about your payment status, amount release date, or NSER registration.

Perfect for senior citizens, disabled persons, or widows who can’t visit offices.

4. Use Bank ATM – HBL / Alfalah / UBL

If your BISP stipend is sent through a bank (like HBL), you can check your balance at the ATM:

Steps:

• Visit your bank’s ATM (linked with BISP).
• Insert your CNIC or enter CNIC manually.
• Use your thumb for biometric verification.
• Tap on Balance Inquiry to view your current payment.

💡 This works only if you’ve been previously registered and assigned a bank channel.
