The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has rolled out a new payment of Rs. 14,500, but this time, only selected individuals will receive it. If you’ve recently received a 9267 message, you’re probably wondering what it means and whether you qualify for the new amount.
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the BISP new payment update, eligibility details, the 9267 SMS system, and how to confirm your status — all explained in simple language.
What Is the BISP 14500 Payment Update?
This new installment of Rs. 14,500 under the Benazir Kafalat Program is part of an updated relief initiative. It’s meant to help the most deserving families who are currently battling inflation and poverty.
But here’s the twist: not everyone will receive this increased amount. The payment has specific conditions attached, which are based on a recent eligibility re-verification process done by the BISP team.
Why Did Some People Get a 9267 SMS?
If you received an SMS from 9267, it’s not spam. This number is officially used by BISP to:
-
Notify selected beneficiaries of payment approval.
-
Confirm successful biometric verification.
-
Inform about document or verification updates.
The message usually reads something like, “You have been selected for BISP 14500 payment. Please visit your nearest payment center for verification.”
This SMS means you’ve been shortlisted for the new installment — but you’ll still need to follow a few steps to claim it.
Who Will Get the 14500 BISP Payment?
Here are the main categories of people who will receive the new Rs. 14,500 installment:
1️⃣ Families Previously Receiving Rs. 8500 or Rs. 9000
If your payment was increased due to economic review, you are eligible for Rs. 14,500.
2️⃣ Widows and Orphan-Headed Families
Special preference is given to families where the primary breadwinner is deceased, and the mother or child is the head of the household.
3️⃣ Low PMT Score (Below 32)
BISP uses a Proxy Means Test (PMT) system to score financial stability. If your score is below 32, you’re more likely to be eligible.
4️⃣ Recently Re-Verified CNICs and NSER Data
Those who updated their data via the NSER dynamic survey and passed biometric verification are included.
5️⃣ Disabled Persons with Valid CNIC Proof
If you’re registered as disabled and have a verified CNIC, you may also receive the new payment.
How to Confirm Your Eligibility?
If you got a 9267 message, here’s how to verify your payment:
Step-by-Step Process:
1️⃣ Go to the official BISP web portal:
Visit https://8171.bisp.gov.pk
2️⃣ Enter your CNIC number in the box.
3️⃣ Type the 4-digit code shown on the screen.
4️⃣ Click on “Submit” and wait for the system to display your eligibility.
You’ll see whether your 14500 payment is approved, pending, or declined.
Where and How to Collect the Payment?
Once approved, you can collect the money through:
-
BISP Payment Centers in your tehsil or district.
-
Bank ATMs (HBL/Bank Alfalah) using biometric verification.
-
Retailer outlets that are BISP-authorized (with Point of Sale systems).
Make sure to bring:
-
Your original CNIC.
-
Any BISP message or verification slip if available.
Note: If your fingerprints do not match, visit NADRA first to update your biometric record.
What If You Didn’t Get a 9267 Message?
Getting left out? Here’s what to do:
-
Visit the nearest BISP center and ask for status.
-
Update your CNIC and family data through the NSER dynamic survey.
-
Keep checking 8171 portal regularly for payment updates.
Not receiving a message doesn’t always mean you’re ineligible — it might mean your verification is still pending.
Common Reasons for Not Receiving the Payment
Here are some reasons why your 14500 payment may not be released:
-
Your CNIC is expired or not verified.
-
Your NSER survey data is outdated or incomplete.
-
Your income or financial condition no longer meets the criteria.
-
You may have missed biometric verification deadlines.
-
Multiple family members applied under the same household (disqualification).
What’s the Difference Between 8171 and 9267 Messages?
Both numbers are used by BISP but for different reasons:
| Number | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 8171 | Used for registration confirmation and eligibility checks |
| 9267 | Used to alert users of payment approval or biometric updates |
So, while 8171 is more about data collection and verification, 9267 is used to push direct alerts and instructions.
Can You Appeal if You’re Not Selected?
Yes. If you believe you were wrongly excluded, here’s what you can do:
-
Visit the BISP Tehsil Office with your CNIC and family documents.
-
Ask to re-initiate your NSER verification.
-
Submit a written appeal request if your financial status has changed recently.
You may also call the BISP helpline: 0800-26477 for help.
Important Tips for All Beneficiaries
-
Never trust third-party SMS other than 8171 or 9267.
-
Always update your contact number with BISP to avoid missing alerts.
-
Do not pay anyone to get registered. The process is free.
-
Keep a printed slip of any BISP transactions or verification records.
Final Words
The BISP Rs. 14,500 update is a major relief for many, but not everyone qualifies. Receiving the 9267 message is a strong sign that your application has moved forward, but you must act quickly and follow the verification steps to claim the amount.
If you haven’t received any message, don’t lose hope. Many applications are still under review. Just make sure your data is accurate, and keep checking the 8171 portal for updates.
