8171 Web Portal Re-Update; Check Payment Status By CNIC
8171 Web Portal Re-Update
In the era of rising inflation and unemployment in Pakistan, the Benazir Income Support Program is a ray of hope for poor families. This program provides support to millions of deserving families so that they can meet basic expenses like education, food, and health of their children.
The government has updated the 8171 web portal in October 2025. After this update, deserving individuals no longer need to visit the bank repeatedly or stand in queues. They can get their eligibility and payment information from home by just entering their CNIC number.
What is the October update of the 8171 web portal?
This new update has made the portal more convenient and user-friendly. Now deserving individuals just enter their thirteen-digit CNIC number and get the result in a few seconds. It tells whether your installment has been released or is still pending.
This system saves people time and money and protects them from unnecessary hassles.
Why Was The Cluster System Introduced?
The government introduced the cluster system to solve two major problems:
- Long queues at banks and campsites.
- Confusion about where to collect the payment.
Now each district is linked to a specific bank. For example, some districts are linked to Habib Bank (HBL), some to Bank Alfalah (BAFL) and some to Bank of Punjab (BOP). This gives people a clear idea of their collection point and also reduces congestion.
Cluster division by districts
In October 2025, the government divided the districts into different clusters. For example:
- Cluster 1 (HBL): Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Jhelum, Sialkot, Gujrat, Sargodha, Khushab etc.
- Cluster 2 (BAFL): Muzaffarabad, Gilgit, Hunza, Mansehra, Swat, Chitral, Dir, Haripur etc.
- Cluster 9 (HBL): Khairpur, Okara, Sheikhupura etc.
- Cluster 10 (BOP): Jacobabad, Dera Ghazi Khan, Mardan etc.
- Cluster 12 (BAFL): Larkana, Dera Ismail Khan, Kasur, Bahawalnagar, Zhob, Loralai etc.
This division gives everyone advance knowledge about their bank or campsite.
How To Check Online Payment

- Open the official website of 8171.

- Banks: Money can be received through HBL, BAFL and BOP.

- Campsites: Special points have been set up in rural areas where there are no banks.
