BISP Payment Issues Due to Verification in November 2025

In November 2025, a lot of beneficiaries were facing delays in their payments due to verification issues. Problems from unverified CNICs and outdated records in the Provincial Socio-Economic Registry (PSER) to incomplete bank verification. Timely verification would ensure a smooth and uninterrupted disbursement process. This guide will also discuss why such problems occur and how beneficiaries can re-verify their information to avoid further delays in receiving their payments.

Why Verification Causes Payment Delays

Unverified or outdated CNIC information:

If a person’s CNIC is expired, invalid, or not updated in the BISP/NADRA records, then payment cannot be processed.

Incomplete or inaccurate PSER Data:

The Provincial Socio-Economic Registry (PSER) carries household data and details used for eligibility. Missing or inaccurate details may block the payment.

Bank Verification Issues:

Biometric/account verification of partner banks is compulsory. Any mismatches/failures in verifications will also delay disbursements.

Technical or System Error:

Sometimes delays happen because of connectivity problems between BISP, NADRA, and banking systems.
