Thousands of deserving women across Pakistan are facing difficulties receiving their Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) payments due to fingerprint verification problems. These issues are especially common among elderly women, manual laborers, and individuals with worn-out fingerprints, making it nearly impossible for them to access their entitled funds. This isn’t just a technical issue, it affects real lives. Imagine relying on that Rs. 13,500 payment to buy groceries or pay school fees, only to be told the machine can’t verify your thumbprint. Thankfully, BISP has come up with a much-needed solution: the NON-Biometric Verification System (NON-BVS).

Why Do Fingerprints Fail in BISP?
BISP uses a biometric system that matches your thumbprint with your NADRA record to release payments. But in many cases, particularly among women who work with their hands or have aged skin, the machine can’t pick up a clear match. Even after updating their fingerprints at NADRA, some women still face the same rejection at ATMs or BISP counters. The result? Blocked payments, missed installments, and increased financial pressure. That’s where NON-BVS comes in.

What is the NON-Biometric Verification System?
The NON-Biometric Verification System (NON-BVS) is an alternative method launched by BISP to help women receive payments without fingerprint scanning. Instead of relying on biometrics, it uses a manual process that includes identity verification and a guarantor system.
Right now, the system is active in selected areas like Multan, Bahawalpur, Muzaffargarh, and Dera Ghazi Khan, and more districts are expected to be included soon.
Eligibility Criteria for the NON-Biometric Verification System
If you’re wondering whether you qualify for this manual process, here’s a simple checklist:
- You’re already a registered BISP beneficiary
- You’ve updated your fingerprints at NADRA, but still face issues
- You can personally visit a BISP Tehsil office
- You have a close relative (husband, son, or daughter) who can accompany you with their CNIC
If all the above apply to you, you’re eligible.

Guide to Fix BISP Fingerprints Issue
Here’s how you can apply under NON-BVS and finally receive your payment:
- Visit Your Nearest BISP Tehsil Office
Go yourself with your original CNIC. No one else can do it on your behalf. - Ask for the NON-BVS Form
Clearly mention that your fingerprint is not being verified despite NADRA updates. Request the specific form for NON-BVS applicants. - Fill the Form Carefully
Enter all the correct details and attach photocopies of your CNIC and your guarantor’s CNIC. - Bring Your Guarantor
Your husband, son, or daughter must accompany you and show their ID to confirm your identity. - Submit the Form
BISP staff will review your documents, confirm your eligibility, and start the verification process. - Wait for Approval
If everything checks out, your pending payment will be processed without needing fingerprints.
How Much Will You BISP Payment Receive?
Once approved, you’ll receive your current Rs. 13,500 installment, plus any pending previous dues. Some women could receive over Rs. 20,000 in total if earlier payments were blocked. If you’re part of the BISP education support program, you may also get the child stipend along with your payment.
