Thousands of women across Pakistan have applied for financial assistance through the 8171 portal under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). While many have successfully received aid, a large number were unfortunately marked as ineligible — often without fully understanding why. This has led to frustration, confusion, and uncertainty about whether they can apply again.
Why Were Some Applicants Declared Ineligible?
Many women were marked ineligible due to reasons that were not entirely their fault. Common issues included incomplete dynamic surveys or outdated records, incorrect or mismatched CNIC information, and low PMT scores that had not been updated. In some instances, household incomes appeared higher than the eligibility threshold due to errors in data entry or system calculations. Additionally, unverified or missing documents in the system further contributed to disqualification. Even minor technical errors—such as incorrect thumb impressions during verification or missing survey data—led to automatic disqualification in some cases.
Can Ineligible Women Apply Again Through the 8171 Portal?
Yes, but there’s a process. The government has allowed those marked ineligible to re-apply or update their information through the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) survey. Women can visit their nearest BISP Tehsil office to:
- Re-do the dynamic survey
- Correct any previous mistakes in their application
- Submit updated documentation or address changes
After the re-survey, the applicant’s data will be reviewed again, and eligibility status may change based on updated information.

- Visit the nearest BISP Tehsil Office for re-verification and dynamic survey
- Bring your original CNIC and any documents that might be required
- Wait for the new result after re-survey — it may take a few weeks
Re-Apply for BISP Support Through SMS (No Internet Needed)
For women who don’t have internet access or live in far-off areas, checking your eligibility or beginning the re-application process is still very easy. You can do it using a simple SMS from your mobile phone.
Here’s how:
- Open the messaging app on your phone
- Type your 13-digit CNIC number (without any dashes)
- Send it to 8171

You’ll receive a message confirming your current eligibility status. If the reply says you’re ineligible, don’t worry — just head to your nearest BISP Tehsil office as soon as possible to complete your dynamic survey and provide any missing documents.

Avoid common mistakes that lead to rejection
Even with genuine intentions, many women are rejected from the BISP program due to small but critical mistakes. If you’re planning to re-apply, be sure to avoid the following errors:
- Using an expired or invalid CNIC
- Giving false information during the dynamic survey
- Using someone else’s documents or mobile number
- Missing the re-survey deadline
- Not visiting the official BISP Tehsil office
These simple missteps can cost you the chance to receive financial help. So, take the process seriously, double-check your details, and follow the official steps to make sure your application is accepted. It’s your right — just make sure you don’t lose it due to avoidable errors.
Final Thoughts
The BISP program is meant to support the most vulnerable families in Pakistan, especially women-led households. If you’ve been marked ineligible, don’t lose hope. Many ineligibilities are temporary and can be resolved through the proper re-application process. Make sure your records are up-to-date and that you’ve completed your dynamic survey. This step can help restore your eligibility and ensure your household receives the assistance it needs.
