FAQs
If I have already got the last payment, can I still receive Rs. 27,000?
No. Rs. 27,000 will only be given to individuals who have recently been validated or who missed previous payments. As usual, others will get Rs. 13,500.
What would happen if 8171 didn’t send me an SMS?
After a few days, verify your status using the 8171 online site or bring your CNIC to the closest BISP office.
