The 8171 Ehsaas Program continues to evolve in August 2025 with new updates aimed at improving delivery, access, and transparency. This month’s changes focus on expanding the network, refining verification steps, and increasing support for rural and remote families. Beneficiaries will now receive their payments more smoothly, thanks to improved systems at both the digital and ground level.
Families who rely on Ehsaas for survival can now expect quicker verification, more responsive service through the portal, and easier ways to check eligibility or resolve issues. These changes come at a time when inflation and unemployment remain a challenge for many.

Rs. 13,500 Disbursement Confirmed
The government has confirmed the Rs. 13,500 payment under the 8171 Ehsaas Program for August 2025. This amount is part of the regular quarterly installment provided to eligible households. It reflects a continued commitment to support lower-income families as essential costs remain high.

New Biometric and Face ID Options
This month, additional biometric options have been introduced. In areas where thumbprint verification often fails due to age or labor-related fingerprint wear, the system now supports face verification. This small shift makes a big difference for elderly citizens and manual workers.
اب صرف انگوٹھے سے تصدیق ہی نہیں بلکہ چہرے کی شناخت سے بھی پیسے حاصل کیے جا سکتے ہیں۔ بزرگ افراد اور مزدور طبقہ، جن کے فنگرپرنٹس واضح نہیں ہوتے، اب چہرے کی شناخت کے ذریعے اپنی رقم حاصل کر سکتے ہیں۔ یہ تبدیلی فائدہ مند اور وقت کی ضرورت ہے۔
Broader Geographic Reach
The August rollout extends to more remote areas including rural Sindh, southern Punjab, Balochistan, and some regions of Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir. This expansion brings assistance to families who were previously left out due to lack of digital infrastructure or long travel distances to centers.
Portal Improvements for Easier Access
The 8171 web portal has seen major updates this month. It now loads faster, works better on mobile phones, and includes bilingual instructions in English and Urdu. This helps first-time users check their information, fix mistakes, or get updates without needing assistance from others.

Mobile Vans for Rural Payments
To address transportation issues, mobile Ehsaas vans are now delivering payments in hard-to-reach villages. These vans are equipped with biometric tools and work alongside local BISP staff to make sure funds are delivered safely, directly, and without extra charges.
مزید یہ کہ بلوچستان، گلگت بلتستان، جنوبی پنجاب اور آزاد کشمیر کے کئی نئے علاقوں کو پروگرام میں شامل کیا گیا ہے۔ موبائل وینز اور قریبی کیمپس کے ذریعے رقم کی ترسیل اب دور دراز علاقوں میں بھی ممکن ہو گئی ہے، جو پہلے محروم رہتے تھے۔
Help for Common Problems
If you’re experiencing delays or errors in the system, here’s what you can do:
- Visit your local BISP center to correct CNIC or family data
- Use the helpline (0800-26477) to register complaints
- Request face verification if fingerprint issues persist
Avoid Middlemen and Frauds
Beneficiaries are reminded not to share CNIC copies or OTPs with anyone claiming to “help” for a fee. The 8171 Ehsaas Program is completely free, and all services are handled through official channels. Always ask for a receipt when collecting payments.
