The 8171 Ehsaas Program is a big support for poor families in Pakistan. It is part of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). In 2025 this program gives one-time help of PKR 25000 to families who are very poor or facing hard times like floods or high inflation. This money helps them buy food and other important things.
The Ehsaas 25000 Program started in 2018 when Imran Khan was the Prime Minister. It gives special help besides the regular BISP Kafalat payment. The normal Kafalat amount is PKR 13500 every three months. But the PKR 25000 is only given once during a big crisis. This special payment is now active again in 2025. It helps 3 million families. In Punjab the new phase has started under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
The government is making the system better now. Banks like HBL and Bank Alfalah help people withdraw money easily. Over 9.3 million families are using this system now. Also the 8171 web portal helps people check their payment status online. There are no charges or agents needed. This is called digital transparency.
