Why Your BISP Payment Was Blocked Due to CNIC Expiry
BISP system marked your record as inactive, If your National ID card is expired. This is because BISP is fully linked with NADRA. When NADRA shows your ID as expired, biometric verification cannot happen. Your thumbprint will not work, and your payment will not be processed. BISP uses this system to stop fraud. However, many women, especially those in rural areas were affected without knowing their CNIC had expired. So, their BISP payment of Rs. 13,500 was stopped until they renewed their CNIC and updated their records.
