Why Were BISP Payments Stopped?
Many women were unfairly marked ineligible or had their payments paused. This wasn’t due to fraud or ineligibility but rather problems within the verification process.
Common Reasons for Payment Stoppage:
- Biometric Mismatch: Fingerprints didn’t match NADRA records, especially for older or labor-intensive women.
- Expired CNIC: Payments held due to CNIC expiration or missing verification.
- NADRA Errors: Incorrect family details, marital status, or name issues.
- Incomplete NSER Survey: Outdated or missing socioeconomic data.
- Foreign Travel Detection: Temporary trips abroad led to temporary disqualification.
- Unregistered SIM: Mobile number not linked to beneficiary’s CNIC, causing SMS failures.
These problems have now been resolved. Beneficiaries who faced these issues can expect their payments starting this July.
