BISP 8171 Payment Stopped
Has your BISP 8171 payment stopped showing up? If yes, you’re not alone, and you’re not helpless either. This has been happening to many families in 2025, and the good news is: you can fix it. If you’ve been getting 13,500 rupees from the Benazir Income Support Program but now it’s missing, chances are your BISP account has been temporarily suspended. It might sound scary, but in most cases, it’s a simple issue that can be solved in just a few steps.
Why Did Your BISP 8171 Payment Stopped?
Think of BISP like a careful system; it checks everything regularly to make sure that the right people are getting support. That’s a good thing overall, but sometimes small issues can cause your payment to pause. Here are the most common reasons:

You Haven’t Updated Your Info
Maybe you missed a survey or haven’t updated your family’s details for a while. If your record looks outdated, the system might mark you as “inactive.”
Your CNIC Has Expired
This happens a lot! If your ID card isn’t valid anymore, BISP can’t verify who you are, and your payment stops until it’s fixed.
Fingerprint Didn’t Match
If your fingerprints didn’t scan properly during payment collection, the system might flag it and suspend your account until you get verified again. So, if something as small as an expired CNIC or a fingerprint error happened, don’t worry. These are all fixable problems.
Signs That Your Account Is Suspended
Here’s how you can tell if your BISP 8171 account is suspended:
- Your 13,500-rupee payment didn’t arrive this month
- You texted 8171 and got a reply like “under verification” or “not eligible.”
- You’re being told to visit a BISP office
- The BISP website shows no recent payment activity for your CNIC
Lost Access to BISP 8171? Here’s How to Reactivate Your Account
You don’t need any agent or bribe to fix this. Just follow these steps depending on what went wrong:
If You Haven’t Updated Your Details
- Go to your nearest BISP Tehsil Office
- Ask for the NSER Dynamic Survey
- Please carry your identity card, proof of residence like a utility bill, and family details.
- After your update, it usually takes 5–7 days for your account to start working again
This is one of the most common issues. Don’t delay this if you haven’t been called for a survey yet.
If Your CNIC Has Expired
- Visit your nearest NADRA office and renew your ID card
Once it’s done, bring your new CNIC (or token) to the BISP office - Your info will be updated in the system, and your payment will resume in 3–7 working days

If There’s a Fingerprint Issue
- Go to your nearest BISP or NADRA office
- Ask them to help you rescan your fingerprints
- Clean and dry your fingers before scanning, and try a different finger if one doesn’t work
- Following successful verification, there’s no need for manual action—your account will be reactivated automatically.
Don’t wait for the issue to fix itself; biometric errors stay stuck unless you take action.
