The Government of Pakistan has officially launched the BISP 8171 Wallet Account Pilot Project, introducing a modern digital payment system for beneficiaries of the Benazir Income Support Programme. The new system aims to make financial assistance more transparent secure and convenient for eligible families across selected districts.
Under this pilot phase, payments that were previously distributed through campsites or payment centers will now be transferred directly into digital wallet accounts linked to beneficiaries’ CNIC and registered mobile numbers. This initiative is part of broader reforms under the Benazir Income Support Programme to improve payment efficiency and reduce fraud.
What Is the BISP 8171 Wallet Account Pilot Project?
The BISP 8171 Wallet Account system is designed to provide quarterly financial assistance directly into mobile wallets. Instead of waiting in long queues, beneficiaries can now receive their payments digitally and withdraw cash from ATMs, authorized retailers, or mobile banking agents.
The 8171 service remains the official verification platform where applicants can check eligibility status through CNIC. Once approved, payments will be credited directly to the registered wallet account.

How Beneficiaries Can Benefit
Eligible individuals under BISP will receive notification once their wallet account is activated. Payments can then be withdrawn through partner banks or mobile financial service providers. Beneficiaries are advised to keep their mobile numbers registered and active to avoid delays.
The initiative is expected to strengthen financial inclusion, particularly for low-income women who are primary recipients of BISP support. By shifting toward digital transactions, the government aims to ensure that financial aid reaches deserving families without deductions or middlemen interference.
