BISP CNIC Block Issue Solved – Guide to Reactivate Your Account
Good News for BISP Beneficiaries
The BISP has officially fixed the CNIC block issue that caused payment delays for thousands of beneficiaries across Pakistan.
If your account was blocked or marked “under verification,” you can now reactivate it easily and start receiving your Benazir Kafalat 2025 payments again.
The new Digital Reverification System 2025 has simplified the process, allowing users to restore their accounts through NADRA and BISP offices within a few working days.
Why CNICs Were Blocked
Many beneficiaries had their CNICs blocked due to system updates and verification errors.
Here are the most common reasons:
-
Expired or unverified CNICs
-
Data mismatch between NADRA and BISP records
-
Household income changes
-
Duplicate entries in the NSER database
-
Missing biometric verification
Now, under the updated verification system, genuine participants can reactivate their accounts without any penalty or long delays.

Beneficiaries in all provinces, including Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Gilgit-Baltistan, can now verify and restore their CNICs.
Once the process is complete, your BISP payments will be released automatically.
Most cases are being resolved within three to five working days after verification.
