The Ehsaas Program Registration 8171 has officially started again in Pakistan. This government program gives money help to poor families who are struggling because prices are going very high. People who are registered will get regular payments to help them buy basic things for their homes.
What Is the Ehsaas Program?
The Ehsaas Program is a government scheme to help citizens with low incomes pay for important things like food, doctor visits, and school. It works under the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) to lower poverty and protect the poor.
Because many families are poor, the government has restarted the Ehsaas Kafalat Program, which gives cash directly to millions of homes across the country.
How to Apply for the 8171 Ehsaas Program in 2025
The process to apply for the 8171 Ehsaas Program is now simple.
- Visit Office: If you have not applied yet, you must visit the nearest Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) office to register.
- Online: Online registration is currently NOT available.
The government has added more people who can get help, especially those affected by floods, job loss, or economic problems. Widows, older people, and people with disabilities are now also included.
A large amount of money (Rs. 450 billion) has been set aside to make sure all registered people get their payments on time.
How to Get Your Ehsaas Program Payments
Once you are registered, getting your money is easy:
- Go to your nearest Ehsaas or BISP cash payment center.
- Show your original CNIC card.
- The cashier will check your details and give you the money.
Important: No one should take any money or service fee from your payment. If anyone wrongly deducts money, you can report it to your nearest BISP office or use the official complaint number.
