With the arrival of Ramazan 2026, the Government of Pakistan has started verification of special financial assistance for deserving families through the 8171 Web Portal. This Ramazan relief payment aims to support low-income households registered under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and Ehsaas Program.
Eligible beneficiaries can now confirm their payment status online using their Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) without visiting offices or standing in long queues.
