Many families rely on the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP 8171) for financial assistance.

This creates confusion and delays in receiving financial aid. Understanding the reasons and solutions is essential for smooth processing.
پاکستان میں بے نظیر انکم سپورٹ پروگرام سے مستفید ہونے والے لاکھوں گھرانے اپنی قسط کے انتظار میں رہتے ہیں۔ بعض اوقات جب ادائیگی کا عمل شروع ہوتا ہے تو کچھ افراد کا شناختی کارڈ بلاک ہو جاتا ہے جس کی وجہ سے انہیں رقم نہیں ملتی۔ یہ صورتحال کافی مشکل پیدا کر دیتی ہے، لیکن اس کے حل بھی موجود ہیں جن سے مستفید ہونے والے اپنی ادائیگی دوبارہ حاصل کر سکتے ہیں۔
Why CNIC Gets Blocked During BISP 8171 Payment Processing
Several reasons can lead to a CNIC being blocked during payment:
- Incomplete Verification: If biometric or NADRA records are not properly verified.
- Multiple Registrations: If the CNIC is found registered in multiple family applications.
- Ineligibility Update: Beneficiaries who no longer meet BISP criteria after a re-survey.
- Suspicious Activity: Any misuse or suspicious entries in the system.
When this happens, the system automatically stops payment release until the issue is resolved.
Immediate Effects on Beneficiaries
Blocked CNICs directly impact families depending on the installment. Key effects include:
- Delay in Receiving Rs. 13,500 Installment (September 2025 schedule).
- Verification Calls or Visits required from beneficiaries.
- Temporary Removal from the Active Beneficiary List until clearance.
Steps to Resolve CNIC Blockage in BISP 8171
If your CNIC gets blocked, follow these steps to fix the issue:
1. Visit BISP Tehsil Office
Carry your original CNIC and a copy. Officials will guide you on why your card is blocked.
2. Biometric Re-Verification
In many cases, re-verification through NADRA or BISP biometric machines unblocks the CNIC.
3. Submit Re-Survey Information
If disqualified due to updated criteria, fill in the new NSER survey form to regain eligibility.
4. Contact BISP Helpline 8171

How to Prevent CNIC Blockage in Future
To avoid payment issues in upcoming installments:
- Keep your CNIC updated in NADRA records.
- Ensure only one family head registers for BISP.
- Participate in periodic household surveys.
- Report immediately if your CNIC is lost or misused.
