BISP 8171 CNIC Expiry Issue Resolved – Women Can Now Collect June Payments

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has issued a major update, bringing long-awaited relief to women beneficiaries whose payments were withheld due to expired Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs).

Many women faced difficulties accessing their financial support because the BISP system flagged them as ineligible or pending due to CNIC expiry. Now, the technical issue has been resolved, and such beneficiaries can visit their nearest payment campsite to collect their dues.

What Was the CNIC Expiry Issue?

Previously, the BISP system blocked payments for women whose:

• CNICs had expired at the time of payment

• Status in the system was marked as “CNIC Expiry”

• Eligibility was intact but payments were held due to ID verification failure

This created major challenges for low-income families relying on BISP for monthly support. The update means these women are now eligible for payment without the need for immediate CNIC renewal.

Who Is Affected by This Update?

This BISP update applies to:

• Women whose CNICs were expired during the payment cycle

• Beneficiaries marked with “CNIC Expiry” status

• Eligible women who could not collect payment due to system error

These individuals can now proceed to biometric verification and collect their funds.

Steps to Collect Your BISP Payment

If your CNIC was expired, here’s what you need to do:

1. Visit the nearest BISP payment campsite

2. Bring your renewed CNIC or even your expired CNIC (the system now allows it)

3. Undergo biometric verification

4. Receive your pending BISP payment on the spot
