BISP 8171 New Social Protection Wallet System 2025 is a game-changer for over 10 million families. Your quarterly Rs 13,500 now lands straight in your phone with full security – complete guide inside!
The government has officially launched the BISP 8171 Digital Wallet – a secure, mobile-based social protection wallet that sends your quarterly Kafalat stipend (currently Rs 13,500) straight to your phone. No more standing in long queues, no more agent deductions, and no more waiting at campsites.
What is the BISP Social Protection Wallet? (2025 Update)
The BISP Social Protection Wallet (also called BISP Digital Wallet or 8171 Wallet) is a free mobile wallet given to registered BISP families.
Your quarterly cash transfer – whether it’s the regular Benazir Kafalat stipend, Taleemi Wazaif (education bonus), or Nashonuma (child nutrition) – now lands directly in this wallet instead of an ATM or payment camp.
Key features that make it different:
- 100 % transparent – you receive every rupee
- Biometric security – only you can access the money
- Free SIM card provided by the government
- Works with JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or basic USSD phones
- Instant SMS alerts from 8171 when money arrives
