How to Check Your Eligibility for Prime Minister 13000
The government has made it very easy for everyone to check their status from the comfort of their home. You don’t need to visit any office just to see if you are eligible. There are two main ways to do this: the 8171 Web Portal and the SMS service.

- Type the Verification Code (the numbers shown in the image on the screen).
- Click on the “Check” or “Submit” button.
- Wait for a second, and your status will appear on the screen telling you if you are eligible for the Rs. 13,000 payment.

If you don’t have a smartphone or data, you can still check your status using a basic mobile phone:

Where and How to Collect Your BISP Money?
Once you receive a confirmation message that you are eligible, the next step is getting the cash. The government distributes these funds through biometric verification to ensure the right person gets the money.
You can visit any authorized BISP Payment Center or use the ATMs of partner banks like HBL or Bank Alfalah. Simply place your thumb on the scanner at the ATM or the retailer’s shop, and once your identity is verified, you will be handed the full amount of Rs. 13,000. Remember, there are no deductions; you should receive the full amount!
What if You are Not Registered?
If you check your status and it says “Record Not Found,” it means you might not be registered in the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry). To fix this, head over to your nearest BISP Tehsil Office. Take your original CNIC and your children’s B-Forms with you. Ask them for a “Dynamic Survey.” Once your survey is updated, the government will re-evaluate your poverty score, and you might become eligible for future payments.
FAQs
1. Is there a fee to check the 8171 status?
No, checking your status online is completely free. Be careful of scammers asking for “processing fees.”
2. Can I use my old CNIC?
Your CNIC must be valid and not expired. If it is expired, please visit NADRA to renew it first.
3. What if I am eligible but don’t get the SMS?
If the online portal shows you are “Eligible” but you haven’t received an SMS, you can still go to the payment center with your CNIC and check your balance via the biometric machine.
