If you’ve been waiting for the BISP 8171 second phase payments, there’s finally some good news. The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially announced the start date for the second phase. Payments will begin on April 28, bringing much-needed financial support to thousands of families across 55 newly added districts. This update comes as a follow-up to the first phase, which successfully reached over 70% of eligible districts.
For those who didn’t receive their payment earlier, this is your chance. And don’t worry about running around for details—this article has all the essential information you need, including the start date, list of districts, and how to collect your payments the right way.
When Will the Second Phase Payments Begin?
The BISP has set April 28 as the launch date for second-phase payments. However, there’s a small condition—it will only begin if all administrative preparations are completed by then.
This isn’t unusual. Sometimes, delays happen due to logistical reasons. But officials are confident that everything is on track, and the funds will be disbursed right on time. If not, the payments will be released shortly after. Either way, there’s no need to worry or panic.
The key takeaway? Keep your phone handy and look out for the official SMS from 8171. That message will confirm your eligibility and guide you to your payment center.

Step-by-Step Guide to Receive Your Payment
Let’s talk about how you’ll actually receive the money once the second phase begins. The process is quite straightforward, but every step matters. Here’s how it goes:
-
Confirmation SMS from 8171: This is the green signal. If you’re eligible, you’ll get a message telling you the date and location (campsite) to collect your payment.
-
Visit the Campsite: Once you get the SMS, head to the mentioned location. Make sure to bring your original CNIC.
-
Initial Screening: At the campsite entrance, officials will screen you to confirm your identity and check your eligibility.
-
Biometric Verification: Next, go to the payment counter or bank retailer inside the camp. You’ll need to place your thumb or fingers on a scanner for biometric confirmation.
-
Payment Release: After successful verification, you’ll receive your full payment in cash. Always double-check the amount before you leave.
-
Exit Screening: Before leaving the campsite, you’ll be checked again to confirm you received the full amount without any deductions.
This method ensures that every beneficiary gets their rightful share without exploitation or middlemen interference.
