What Is the BISP 8171 Digital Wallet?

The BISP 8171 Digital Wallet is a mobile‑linked bank or e‑wallet account created for social welfare recipients to receive quarterly payments like Rs. 13,500 securely and transparently. Instead of old physical camps or disbursement points, funds are sent digitally to your mobile wallet using the 8171 system.

This shift ensures:

• Zero deductions – no agents can take cuts.
• Direct access – cash anytime via wallet or ATM.
• Financial inclusion – use balance for utility bills or mobile top‑ups.

Who Needs to Register in 2026?

Every beneficiary must ensure their digital wallet is activated before payments are sent this cycle:

• New Applicants – Complete the NSER Dynamic Survey at a BISP office.
• Existing Beneficiaries – Link your BISP record to a SIM registered on your own CNIC.
• Ineligible Households – If your PMT score is below 32 or records are outdated, request re‑survey or update.
