The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially announced the full resumption of Rs. 13,500 payments for thousands of eligible families beginning July 2025. This major update brings much-needed relief to families whose payments were previously stopped due to verification issues.
🔍 Why Were BISP Payments Stopped?
Over the past few months, several families experienced delays or suspensions in their BISP payments due to technical and verification errors, including:
-
Invalid or expired CNIC details
-
Fingerprint verification failures at NADRA
-
Mismatched family registration information
-
Suspicious account activity or incomplete records
Most of these issues were caused by outdated information or system glitches — not the fault of the beneficiaries.
