The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has shared positive news for 2026, especially for newly registered families and women beneficiaries. Under the latest update, eligible households may receive a BISP 8171 Double Qist, allowing them to collect two installments together instead of waiting for separate payment cycles.
This step has been introduced to support families who missed earlier payments due to verification delays, CNIC updates, or revalidation issues. If you recently completed registration or your status was under review, this update could mean financial relief worth Rs. 27,000.
What Is BISP 8171 Double Qist 2026?
The Double Qist means eligible beneficiaries receive two Benazir Kafalat installments at once.
-
Single installment amount: Rs. 13,500
-
Double Qist total: Rs. 27,000
This combined payment helps families cover urgent expenses and compensates for missed or delayed quarters.
Who Is Eligible for BISP Double Qist in 2026?
Not all beneficiaries will receive double payments. The following groups are most likely to qualify:
-
Newly registered families approved in late 2025 or early 2026
-
Women whose CNIC was updated or revalidated through NADRA
-
Beneficiaries whose payments were blocked temporarily and later restored
-
Families who completed BISP revalidation or dynamic survey in 2026
-
Households marked eligible after verification delays
If your status recently changed from “under verification” to “eligible”, you may qualify for the double qist.
