The Government of Pakistan has announced the latest Ehsaas Program 8171 August Update, bringing new changes in CNIC verification, double installment payments, and registration processes. Eligible families can now check their CNIC status online or via SMS and receive their Rs. 13,500 or more payments with biometric verification.
The Ehsaas Program 8171 is a poverty alleviation initiative by the Government of Pakistan to provide financial support to deserving families. Through CNIC verification and NADRA registration, eligible individuals can receive monthly cash aid directly.
If you missed your last payment, the August update confirms that you may receive a double installment (Rs. 27,000) this month. Make sure your CNIC is verified and active in the system.
