BISP 8171 Payment Blocked
Following the PMT (Poverty Measurement Tool) score review, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) began blocking many women’s payment cards. Recent changes indicate that a woman’s payment has been halted, and her status on the 8171 portal is displayed as “Blocked” if her dynamic survey score exceeds 32.cc
This article explains what this update means, who is impacted, and what can be done.
The BISP Card Is Blocked; Why?
Women have been marked as ineligible for additional installments if their PMT score rose above 32 during the most recent verification or dynamic survey. Consequently,
- Their balance is Rs. 0, and their status on the BISP 8171 portal is currently “Blocked.”
- They will no longer be paid after June 2025.
This step was done to make sure that only worthy and in need families would continue to receive financial assistance.
What Does BISP’s PMT Score Mean?
Your family’s PMT (Poverty Measurement Tool) score is a rating determined by:
- Income per month
- Size of the household
- Assets (such as a house, car, etc.)
- Children who attend school
- Bills for utilities
You qualify if your score is 32 or lower. Your card might be blocked if it exceeds 32.
What Are the Roles of Affected Women?
Should your BISP card be blocked, you ought to:
- Go to the BISP Tehsil office that is closest to you.
- Request that your PMT score be re-verified.
- If your financial situation has changed, submit updated information.
- Bring your original CNIC along with any previous messages or payment slips.
Important: You cannot unblock your status using an online form. For a manual recheck, you have to come into the office.
Important Indications That Your BISP Status Is Blocked
- The status displayed on your 8171 portal is: The remaining balance is Rs. 0.
- The last withdrawal date is earlier (November 2024, for instance).
- You are no longer paid on a monthly or quarterly basis.
According to updated PMT calculations, this typically indicates that your eligibility has been revoked.
