Why the 8171 Web Portal Is Still Inactive
Many users have been trying to check their payment status online but are unable to access the 8171 web portal. According to official sources, the portal is undergoing updates and is expected to be restored by Monday, April 14, 2025.
Once the portal is live, beneficiaries will be able to:

The link to the official web portal remains the same: 8171.bisp.gov.pk
