The Ehsaas Program, one of Pakistan’s most impactful social safety net initiatives, continues to support low-income families across the country. In July 2025, several new updates have been announced, including the distribution of a fresh installment of Rs. 13,500 and the reopening of registration for those who were previously ineligible. If you or your family depend on this program, here’s everything you need to know about the latest updates and how to register online.
What Is the Ehsaas Program?
Launched by the Government of Pakistan in 2019, the Ehsaas Program aims to reduce poverty and provide financial relief to underprivileged citizens. It includes various sub-programs such as the Kafalat Program, Emergency Cash, and Nashonuma. In July 2025, the government further expanded its efforts to ensure that all eligible families receive the financial help they deserve.
July 2025 Update: Rs. 13,500 New Payment Announced
One of the most important updates this month is the release of a new payment of Rs. 13,500 for eligible families. This amount is being distributed under the Ehsaas Kafalat Program and is intended to help families cope with inflation and rising costs of living.
Payments are being made through BISP payment centers, HBL Konnect shops, and designated banks. Beneficiaries are being notified via SMS from 8171. If you receive such a message, visit the nearest payment center with your original CNIC to collect your amount.
Who Is Eligible for the Rs. 13,500 Payment?
The following groups are considered eligible for the current installment:
- Low-income families earning below the poverty threshold
- Households headed by women
- Widows and disabled individuals
- Families registered through the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER)
- Citizens holding a valid and active CNIC
If you have not received a message from 8171 but believe you are eligible, you are encouraged to complete the Dynamic Survey before the deadline.
Registration Reopened for Ineligible Families
Great news for families who were previously declared ineligible! The government has now reopened registration. If you were disqualified earlier or never applied, you can now submit your information again and possibly qualify for future installments.
To register:
- Visit the nearest BISP Tehsil Office
- Fill out the NSER Dynamic Survey and give them your original CNIC.
- You will receive a confirmation message from 8171 if your registration is successful.
This opportunity is crucial for those who were unfairly marked ineligible or whose family income status has changed since their last registration.

Currently, the 8171 web portal is under maintenance and is expected to resume full operations by the end of July 2025. Until then, you can check your eligibility and registration status via SMS or in person.
✅ How to Check Status via SMS:
- Open your SMS app

📅 Deadline to complete the survey: July 30, 2025
