Who Is Eligible for the BISP Next Payment from October to December?
Here is a detailed breakdown of the categories that will receive payments during this period:
1. New Registrants (2023-2024)
New participants who registered during 2023 and 2024 and received confirmation through the 8171 SMS service will start receiving their payments from October 2024 onwards.
2. Re-Surveyed Beneficiaries
If you registered before 2021, you must complete a new survey to maintain your eligibility. This process ensures that the program remains up-to-date with your financial status and verifies that you are still qualified to receive assistance.
3. Current Beneficiaries (April-June Payment Receivers)
Beneficiaries who received their payments for the April to June period are automatically included in the next cycle. You must still complete the re-survey if required by the deadline to ensure continuous payments.
Key Updates for BISP Beneficiaries
New Registrants in the 8171 BISP Program
If you registered in the BISP program in 2023 or 2024, your payments will begin in October 2024. Those who completed the registration process through the 8171 portal and received a confirmation message are included in the list of beneficiaries for the upcoming payment cycle.
How to Confirm Your Registration
- You should have received a confirmation text from the 8171 service.
- Ensure you check your status regularly via the official 8171 BISP portal.
Current Beneficiaries
If you have been receiving payments consistently from previous cycles, you will continue to receive the upcoming installment for October to December 2024. However, make sure you comply with the re-survey requirements if you registered before 2021. Completing this survey before the deadline of December 30, 2024, is mandatory for continued eligibility.
Important Note: Failure to complete the re-survey could result in your removal from the program.

Reasons You Might Lose BISP Payments
Not everyone remains eligible for BISP payments indefinitely. There are several reasons why someone might lose their eligibility:
- Increased Poverty Means Test (PMT) Score: If your PMT score has risen, you might no longer qualify for the program.
- Tax Return Submission: If your CNIC has been used to submit a tax return, this will disqualify you from receiving further payments.
- Involvement in Fraudulent Activities: Engaging in any form of fraudulent activity during registration will lead to immediate disqualification.
- Unauthorized Payment Deductions: If you are found participating in unauthorized deductions, you will be removed from the program.
How to Check BISP Status
To know if you are included in the payment cycle for October to December, follow these steps:
- Visit the 8171 BISP Portal: This is the official online portal where you can check your eligibility status and track your payments.
- Complete the Re-Survey: Ensure that you complete your re-survey by the December 30, 2024, deadline to remain eligible for future payments.
Checking Status Online
Go to the 8171 BISP portal and log in with your CNIC number. Follow the steps to check your status.
There is a proposed increase in the BISP payment amount from PKR 10,500 to PKR 12,500. This increase is aimed at providing greater financial assistance to low-income families, especially in light of rising living costs.
