The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) 8171 is currently one of the largest and most vital social security programs in Pakistan. This program is widely recognized for its role in providing financial assistance to deserving and low-income households across the country, on a quarterly basis. Recently, the Government of Pakistan has disbursed payments to beneficiaries of the Kafalat Program and Taleemi Wazaif Program under the BISP 8171 initiative. These payments are being distributed in two phases, with the first phase initially covering 104 districts. However, the number of districts in the first phase has been reduced to 86, as BISP has decided to extend the payment disbursements to 18 additional districts in the second phase.
In this article, I will share complete details about which districts are included in the second phase of BISP 8171 payments, which areas were excluded from the first phase, and how beneficiaries can check their payments online. If you are part of any BISP program and have not received payments in the first phase, this article will provide valuable information for you. Keep reading for all the details.
