8171 Ehsaas Kafalat Token 2025 – Complete Guide

The 8171 Ehsaas Kafalat Token is now directly linked to the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) through the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) Survey. Whether you are a new applicant or an existing beneficiary, this token confirms that your household data has been recorded at a BISP office.

This guide explains everything about registration, receiving the token, checking eligibility, and responding to 8171 SMS alerts.

What Is the 8171 Ehsaas Kafalat Token?

The token is a registration slip (also called ‘parchi’) given after completing the NSER survey at a BISP Tehsil Office. It shows that your household information is recorded and is being reviewed for eligibility in the Benazir Kafalat Program (formerly Ehsaas Kafalat Program).

After completing the survey, you will get an official SMS from 8171 with your eligibility or payment status.

NSER Survey Registration Process

1. New Applicants

If your family is registering for the first time:

• Visit a BISP Office or Ehsaas Center

• Go to the NSER/Dynamic Survey Desk

• Bring Required Documents:

  • CNIC of the head of household (usually a woman)

  • CNICs of all family members

  • Registered mobile number

• Survey Interview:

  • BISP staff will ask about income, education, housing, and assets

• Receive Token Slip:

  • This confirms your data submission

• Wait for SMS from 8171:

  • You will receive confirmation about eligibility or verification

2. Re-Verification (Dynamic Survey)

For existing beneficiaries:

• Update your data every 2 years via the Dynamic Survey

• If your payment is stopped or you receive an SMS, visit the BISP office immediately

• Skipping this step can disqualify you from the program

Eligibility Criteria for Benazir Kafalat Program

Eligibility is decided using a PMT Score (Proxy Means Test) based on your NSER data.

How to Check Eligibility or Payment Status

Method 1: SMS

• Open SMS app

• Type your 13-digit CNIC number

• Send to 8171

• You’ll get a reply:

  • Eligible for payment

  • Under verification

  • Not eligible

Method 2: Online Portal

• Visit https://8171.bisp.gov.pk

• Enter your CNIC and captcha

Why Re-Verification Is Mandatory (BISP Dynamic Survey 2025)

The Dynamic Survey is required for all women receiving payments under Benazir Kafalat. Every beneficiary must update household data every two years to stay eligible.

If you receive an 8171 SMS or your payments are paused:

• Visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office

• Provide your CNIC

• Update family details

• Collect your token/slip

Skipping the survey can disqualify you from future payments. It also helps maintain your PMT score.

Tips to Avoid Disqualification

• Always respond to 8171 SMS notifications

• Keep your CNIC updated via NADRA

• Update your data every two years via Dynamic Survey

• Do not delay if your payment is stopped or status changes

• Keep your token/slip as proof of survey participation
