BISP CNIC Problem Fixed
BISP CNIC Problem Fixed: In a major relief to thousands of families across Pakistan, the Benazir Income Support Program has officially resolved the issue of expired CNICs that had previously caused payment delays. Many deserving women who depend on the quarterly Rs. 13,500 support faced interruptions due to inactive ID cards. But now, BISP has announced that payments will resume from June 1, 2025 provided beneficiaries have renewed their CNICs through NADRA.
Why BISP Payments Were Stopped
Under BISP rules, having a valid CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) is mandatory to continue receiving quarterly financial aid. If a CNIC expires and isn’t renewed in time, the system automatically pauses payments. This has affected a large number of women in recent months many of whom were unaware of this requirement, leading to frustration and uncertainty.If your CNIC has expired, your payment will be blocked automatically even if you are otherwise eligible.Thankfully, BISP has listened to these concerns and taken action.

The payments were not canceled; they were just temporarily held back until your updated CNIC data synced with BISP’s system.
