Why Were BISP Payments Paused?
Every few months, BISP pauses its system for internal checks, software upgrades, or to update its database of beneficiaries. This helps prevent errors, ensures smooth payment delivery, and keeps your data secure. The pause on 1st July was just part of this routine. No payments were issued through JazzCash, HBL Konnect, BISP shops, or camp sites during this one-day break. The good news? Everything started again from 2nd July without any issue.
