The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has been a vital source of financial help for thousands of low-income families in Pakistan. Many women rely on this support to meet basic needs. However, in June 2025, a large number of beneficiaries were surprised to find that their Rs. 13,500 payment had been blocked. The main reason? Their CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) had expired.
If your payment was stopped for the same reason, don’t worry. You can still get your money back, but you need to act quickly. This article will explain why your payment was blocked, what steps you need to take, and how to receive your BISP payment again.

Why Was Your BISP Payment Blocked?
Your CNIC is your identity in the BISP system. When it expires, the system automatically marks your record as inactive, and your payment is put on hold. BISP is connected with NADRA, so if your ID is invalid, your biometric verification fails, and no payment can be processed. This step is important to prevent fraud, but it has affected many deserving people especially women in rural areas.
Who Is Affected?
More than 300,000 women across Pakistan have been affected by this issue. Most of them live in villages and remote areas where access to NADRA services is limited.
Sadly, around 70% of these women didn’t even know their CNIC had expired until they visited to collect payment and were turned away.
Why CNIC Renewal Is Important
Your CNIC is not just a piece of plastic it’s your key to financial help from BISP. Without a valid CNIC:
- You can’t be verified through fingerprint scanners
- Your BISP record becomes inactive
- Payments are blocked, even if you meet all other requirements
And worse if your CNIC remains expired for too long, you could be permanently removed from the BISP program.
