In a significant move to support Pakistan’s most vulnerable communities, the federal government has announced a new Rs. 27,000 installment under the Ehsaas Program, with registration open through the 8171 web portal. Alongside this update, the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) survey has also been relaunched to ensure that financial aid reaches deserving households more efficiently and transparently.
This article provides a comprehensive look at the July 2025 Ehsaas update, detailing who is eligible, how to register through the 8171 portal, and how the new NSER survey plays a critical role in expanding program access. With inflation and economic stress still affecting many low-income families, this initiative arrives as a timely intervention.
Overview of the New Ehsaas Rs. 27,000 Payment
The Ehsaas Emergency Cash Program, previously known for releasing quarterly payments of Rs. 12,000 and Rs. 14,000, has now increased the installment amount to Rs. 27,000 for certain beneficiaries in 2025. This increase is part of an updated poverty alleviation strategy to help offset rising food prices, fuel costs, and daily living expenses.
The new installment is currently being rolled out to eligible families who have either previously registered with the Ehsaas Program or are now being included through the NSER door-to-door survey.
