Benazir Kafalat Program: 8171 Web Portal Status Explanation

Benazir Kafalat Program

Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is an important welfare scheme for poor and deserving women across Pakistan. Under this program, women are provided with financial assistance every three months so that they can meet their daily needs and manage their household expenses in a better way. In the last few months, thousands of women have completed their survey registration to join the Kafalat Program, however, now many of them are worried about what their eligibility status is and whether they have joined the program or not.

This article will provide a complete explanation in this regard so that you can know what the different statuses on the 8171 web portal mean and how you can check your eligibility.

Two Types Of Statuses On The 8171 web portal

After completing the registration in the Benazir Kafalat program, when women check their status on the web portal, they usually see two types of messages.

Message For Eligible Women

Some women receive this message on the web portal:

“You are eligible for the Kafalat program, if you have not received the amount for the current quarter, please contact the nearest payment center.” This message is proof that your name has been included in the Kafalat program and your payments have been released. Such women will continue to receive financial assistance on a quarterly basis for the next three years.

Dynamic Survey Enrollment Message

On the other hand, some women’s status only shows:

“You have been enrolled in the Dynamic Survey.” This means that your first step has been completed and your information is in the verification process. You will have to wait temporarily as the BISP team is checking your data. After the verification is complete, it will be decided whether you are eligible or not. If your information is correct, you will be included in the next stage and made a part of the kafalat program for three years.

How To Check Your Status On the 8171 web portal?

If you do not know how to check your eligibility, follow the steps below:

• Go to Google and search for 8171 web portal.
• Open the first website.
• There you will see two boxes.
• Enter your CNIC number in the first box.
• Enter the captcha code on the screen in the second box.
• Finally, click on the Find out button.
• After a few moments, your complete status will be displayed in front of you, whether you are eligible, ineligible or in the verification stage.

Other Ways To Check Eligibility

Apart from the 8171 web portal, you can also get your information through two more methods:

Through SMS

• SMS your CNIC number to 8171.
• Within a few moments, you will receive a complete message regarding your eligibility.

Through BISP office

• If you do not have internet or are not receiving a reply to the SMS, you can visit your nearest BISP office and get information from a representative.

What Is The Purpose of Dynamic Survey?

Dynamic Survey is a new mechanism of BISP through which the government collects information on income, education, health, and housing of each household. This is used to decide who is truly eligible and whose financial condition has improved. This process has been started to increase transparency and provide assistance to the actual beneficiaries. And it would not be wrong to call it the gateway of BISP. Because on the basis of this survey, different PMT scores are allotted to the beneficiaries. And later on the basis of this score, different households are made part of various assistance programs run under BISP.

Important Instructions For Women

• Check your status on a daily basis on the 8171 portal.
• Do not give money to any agent or non-official person.
• If the status is showing “Verification in progress”, then wait patiently.
• Only approach the official offices of BISP.

Conclusion

Benazir Kafalat Program is a new ray of hope for poor and deserving women. If your status is showing “Enrolled in Dynamic Survey”, then there is no need to panic, it means your information is in the verification stage. As soon as the verification is complete, you will be included in the program and regular payments will be started. So check the 8171 web portal regularly and do not trust any non-official person. The government’s aim is that every deserving woman can get her due assistance on time.
