Living in Pakistan, I’ve seen how crucial the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) and Ehsaas program have been for low-income families during tough times. Recently, the 13,500 payment announced for May 2025 has brought hope to many beneficiaries. To check your payment status, you can now easily use official methods like the web, portal, SMS, service (send your CNIC to 8171), or even ATMs. This guide aims to help you understand each step-by-step process clearly, without confusion. First, visit the احساس پروگرام ویب پورٹل or the official portal, where applicants can apply for emergency cash, fill out the form using a valid CNIC number, and click the Eligibility button to know if you’re eligible.
If a message appears saying “Please visit your nearest registration center,” that means you must go to the nearest center and perform the National Socio-Economic Registry survey. Once your application is accepted and you qualify, the monthly income support grants — such as Rs. 25000, Rs. 35000, Rs. 12000, Rs. 7000, Rs. 4000, or Rs. 2000 — will be processed through verified channels. In my own experience assisting rural women with their registration, the most common problems I noticed were incomplete forms and delays in verification, but the latest updates suggest that many of these problems now have smoother solutions. This article is here to support those who want to know how to check their balance, understand the March to May transition, and walk confidently through the system.
