BISP 8171 Web Portal
8171 Web Portal is a special online platform introduced by the Government of Pakistan. Its aim is to provide information regarding the financial assistance provided to the poor and deserving families under the Benazir Income Support Program and other social welfare programs run under it. So that all such people can get complete information about their eligibility and payments under these programs from the comfort of their homes.
In fact, this portal has been introduced especially for those people who want to get information about their eligibility from the comfort of their homes or want to know whether their financial assistance has been released or not. Along with this, all such people can also know from the comfort of their homes when and from where their payment can be received. This initiative of the government not only saves the valuable time of these people but also prevents them from facing any difficulties. Because if you look at it, before that, anyone who wanted to get information about their eligibility or payments had to go to BISP offices.

When And Why Was The Web Portal Closed?
Before knowing when the 8171 web portal will reopen, it is actually very important for you to know when and why the portal was finally closed. So let me inform you that it has actually been more than six months since the closure of the web portal. And according to the updates issued by BISP, the closure of the web portal is temporary, the main reason for which has been stated to be system upgrade maintenance and data updating. On which work is currently underway.
When Will The 8171 Web Portal Reopen?
Let’s move on and talk about when the web portal will finally reopen. So let me tell you people that according to current government statements or information received from specific sources, the work on the restoration of the web portal is going on in full swing, which will be completed within the next few days. However, no clear date has been announced by the government or BISP yet, according to which it can be said whether the web portal will start working again on that date. But it is hoped that the work of upgrading the web portal will be officially completed by the end of August and the web portal will be publicly opened again as soon as the work is completed. It can also be said that the web portal will start working regularly by the last week of August or the first week of September.
What Will Be Able To Be Done After The Portal Opens?
Many people are repeatedly asking this question: what will be done after the web portal is opened? Most people also ask whether the registration will be completed online after the web portal is opened or not. As soon web portal is opened again, you people will be able to get the complete details of your eligibility and payments just like before, sitting at home. No change will be made in the procedure; rather, the web portal will be further improved so that you people will get to see all the information with more details. According to the updates that have come out so far, it is also being said that this time through the web portal, you people will also be able to know whether your payment has been issued, in what way, and how you people will be able to receive it.
And if we talk about the news circulating about completing online registration, let me tell you that this was neither possible before nor will it be possible after the web portal is reopened. In fact, BISP has not introduced any such service and is not going to introduce any such service in the near future. It should be remembered that even after the web portal is opened, registration can be completed only through BISP offices.
