Great news for families registered under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP)! The government has officially announced that 8171 April 2025 installments are being released this month. Thousands of beneficiaries across 55 districts in Pakistan will start receiving their payments by the last week of April, InshaAllah.
But before you rush to the nearest payment center, there’s an important step many people overlook:
👉 Check the status of your CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card).
💳 Why Your CNIC Matters for BISP Payments
Thousands of BISP beneficiaries have faced payment delays or outright rejections simply because their CNICs were expired or recently renewed but not yet updated in the system.
Even if you’ve renewed your CNIC, there may still be a waiting period before it is accepted by the BISP database. This can result in:
- ❌ Payment not processed
- ⌛ Delays in disbursement
- 🏦 Rejection at the payment center
🔍 That’s why checking your CNIC before visiting is crucial to avoid inconvenience and disappointment.

✅ Steps to Ensure Your CNIC Is Valid
To prevent issues at the center, take the following actions:
- Check the expiry date on your original CNIC.
- If your CNIC has expired, visit the nearest NADRA office as soon as possible to apply for a renewal.
- Wait for your new CNIC to be activated in the system.
- Only visit the payment center after confirming your CNIC is valid and updated.
⏳ Remember, it can take a few days after renewal for BISP’s systems to reflect the updated data. Don’t leave it to the last minute!
