Required Documents for Payment
To receive the Benazir Kafalat payment, you will need the following documents:
- Original identity card: Make sure you carry your valid ID card.
- SIM registered in your name: The phone number used for registration must be in your name.
- Thumb verification: Your identity will be verified through thumbprint authentication at the payment site.
New Way to Receive Payments
This time, payments are being distributed through specific campsites rather than the franchise system. The purpose is to ensure transparency and make it easier for people to collect their payments. If you belong to the districts included in the program, you can go to the nearest BISP campsite to collect your money. Payments will only be made at these campsites, so if you move to another district, your payment might get delayed.
- Payments will be distributed at campsites.
- Transparency is maintained in the payment process.
- Moving districts can delay your payments.

If you are registered in the Benazir Kafalat program, you can easily check the status of your payment online. Here’s how:
- Visit the 8171 web portal on your mobile.
- Enter your ID card number and the verification code that appears on the screen.
- Once submitted, your payment details will be displayed.
You can also check your payment status by sending your ID card number to 8171. If your payment has been processed, you will be notified.
