As of February 8, 2026, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has fully digitized the tracking system for Benazir Taleemi Wazaif. This program, which provides quarterly stipends to children of active Kafaalat beneficiaries, now allows parents to monitor their child’s attendance and payment status directly through the updated 8171 Web Portal.
The 2026 update ensures that families can receive their payments through biometric ATMs and digital wallets, eliminating the need for long queues at campsites.

How to Check Your Status Online (New 2026 Method)
The 8171 portal is the central hub for all BISP-related inquiries. Follow these steps to check your child’s educational stipend status:
1. Using the 8171 Web Portal
- Visit the official 8171 Web Portal (8171.pass.gov.pk).
- Enter the 13-digit CNIC of the mother (the primary beneficiary).
- Enter the captcha code displayed on the screen.
- The system will show the status of the Kafaalat payment and any associated Taleemi Wazaif installments for registered children.
2. Checking via SMS (No Internet Required)
For those in areas with poor internet connectivity, the SMS service remains the most reliable tool:
- Open your mobile messaging app.
- Type your 13-digit CNIC (without spaces).
- Send it to 8171.
- You will receive a detailed reply indicating if your child’s stipend is ready for withdrawal.
Eligibility and Requirements for 2026
To ensure your child continues to receive the stipend, the following conditions must be met in the 2026 academic year:
- Active Kafaalat Status: The mother must be a regular recipient of the BISP Kafaalat installment (currently Rs 13,500 per quarter in 2026).
- Attendance Policy: The child must maintain at least 70% attendance in their school or college. If attendance falls below this, the stipend for that quarter is automatically blocked.
- Age Limits: * Primary: 4 to 12 years.
- Secondary: 8 to 18 years.
- Higher Secondary: 13 to 22 years.
New “Graduation Bonus” for Girls
In a push to improve female literacy, the 2026 program includes a Rs 3,000 one-time bonus for girls who successfully complete their primary education (Grade 5). This amount is credited to the mother’s account upon verification of the primary completion certificate via the NSER dynamic survey.
Conclusion
The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif program is a vital lifeline for millions of students. With the 2026 shift toward bank-based transfers (via Bank Alfalah, Habib Bank, or Bank of Punjab), receiving your child’s scholarship is easier than ever. If your status shows “Pending,” ensure your child’s B-Form is correctly linked at the nearest BISP Tehsil Office.
