What Is BISP 8171 Phase 2 Program

BISP 8171 Phase 2 is an extension of the Benazir Income Support Programme designed to reach families that were not covered in earlier phases. The government used the National Socio-Economic Registry survey to identify households living in high poverty areas.

The program ensures that financial assistance reaches families through transparent digital verification systems. Information about the program is available on the official BISP portal and through data gathered from major government announcements and trusted sources.
