CNIC Expired Error in BISP Devices 2025

One of the most common problems faced by many BISP women is the message “Customer CNIC is Expired” on biometric devices at payment camps. Even after renewing their CNICs from NADRA, their record in the payment system did not update. Because of this error, they could not receive the cash that was already credited to their BISP accounts. The issue has caused delays and confusion for thousands of women who were depending on this financial support.

Committee Meetings Could Not Solve the Issue

This problem has been going on for the last 7 to 8 months. During this time, several committees were formed to find a solution. However, despite meeting three times, no final decision could be made. The issue remained stuck between different departments, and the affected women continued to suffer. Most of these women had their full BISP payments in their accounts but were unable to withdraw any amount due to the CNIC expiration error shown on the devices.

Rubina Khalid Steps In to Fix the Problem

Recently, Rubina Khalid, Chairperson of BISP, took serious notice of the CNIC expired issue. She raised this matter with the Director of the State Bank of Pakistan. She strongly requested the bank to resolve this issue as soon as possible. In response, the Director assured Rubina Khalid that the State Bank will take urgent action. The bank has promised to fix the technical problem before the release of the next BISP payment cycle in June and July 2025.

Women Facing This Error Will Soon Get Payments

Good news has come for those women who were affected by this CNIC expired error. Many of them have not received any money for the last few months, even though they are still eligible. The State Bank and BISP are working together to update the system. The target is to solve this issue before the July 2025 installment. This means women whose accounts are blocked due to this error will soon start receiving their payments again.

These are the key things expected:

● System update to fix expired CNIC records

● Payments to be released before July 18, 2025

● No need to visit NADRA again if already updated

● Women will be notified once the issue is fixed

BISP 8171 Portal Will Be Updated After July 18

Rubina Khalid also mentioned that the 8171 BISP portal is currently under review. The data of many women is being checked. Some are being marked as eligible, while others are being marked as ineligible based on recent surveys. Because of this ongoing work, the portal will not be updated until all checks are complete. The final update is expected to go live before or around July 18, 2025. After this, women will be able to check their status again using the 8171 SMS service or web portal.
