What Is the BISP 13500 Phase 3 Payment?

What to Do If You Didn’t Receive the 8171 SMS
Many people wait for the 8171 message before taking action. That’s not necessary anymore. Here’s what you should do instead:
Visit the 8171 portal and check using your CNIC
If your record is updated, your name will appear as eligible
If you are eligible but still haven’t received an SMS, you can still visit your nearest center to confirm your payment manually
Messages can be delayed due to network issues or incorrect contact numbers
Please don’t rely solely on SMS notifications. The online portal is the most accurate and updated source.
How and Where to Collect Your Payment
After confirming your eligibility, here’s how you can collect your Rs. 13,500:
1. Visit a BISP Payment Center
Carry your original CNIC
Visit the camp site or BISP center in your tehsil
Complete biometric verification
Receive your payment and printed receipt
2. HBL ATM (Only in Selected Districts)
Some users can withdraw their amount from HBL Konnect ATMs:
Insert CNIC and follow on-screen instructions
Authenticate using thumb verification
Withdraw your payment after successful match
Note: Not all users are eligible for ATM withdrawal. It depends on your district and record.
What If Your Biometric Doesn’t Work?
Biometric verification is mandatory for BISP payments. But sometimes, issues occur due to poor thumb impressions or mismatched data.
Here’s what to do if your fingerprint fails:
Try again after cleaning your thumb with warm water or soap
If it still fails, visit the nearest BISP Tehsil office
Submit a complaint and request manual verification
Carry your original CNIC and supporting documents
In special cases (elderly, disabled), BISP provides alternate verification solutions. Don’t panic — help is available.

Always carry these documents when visiting a BISP center:
Original CNIC
Copy of CNIC (optional but helpful)
Any BISP SMS or notification
NSER slip or proof of registration (if applicable)
Guardian’s CNIC (for widows or orphans)
Being prepared ensures faster processing and avoids unnecessary delays.
