The 8171 portal is part of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), developed to help low-income families in Pakistan access financial aid. It’s an easy-to-use website where people can check if they qualify for support just by using their CNIC number. The portal works across the country and is accessible by anyone, whether they live in urban areas or remote villages.
This initiative is part of the government’s broader Ehsaas program and aims to bring more transparency and accessibility to public welfare systems. It’s especially useful for those who can’t visit government offices regularly.
