This guide will help you understand why biometric failure happens, how to fix it step by step, and how to ensure you receive your BISP payment without delay.
✅ Why Biometric Verification Fails – Top Reasons
Biometric issues during BISP payments are usually caused by:
| Cause | Details |
|---|---|
| Faded Fingerprints | Common in elderly women or labor workers. Fingerprints may be too light or worn out to scan. |
| Dirty or Wet Hands | Dust, oil, sweat, or mehndi (henna) can affect the scanner’s ability to read prints. |
| Poor Scanner Quality | The biometric device at the agent’s center may be faulty or outdated. |
| Outdated NADRA Records | If your fingerprints were updated at NADRA but not synced with BISP, verification fails. |
| Wrong CNIC Details | Errors in your NADRA or BISP record may prevent successful verification. |
