➤ Not Registered on BISP Web Portal

Many people have not updated their information on the 8171 BISP web portal. This causes delays in receiving the money. Even if you received past payments, you still need to complete your online registration. Go to 8171.bisp.gov.pk and submit your correct details.

Make sure to:

Use your original CNIC number
Enter a working mobile number
Provide current family details

This process will help avoid payment stops in the future.

➤ Expired CNIC Problem

Your CNIC must be valid to receive BISP money. If your CNIC is expired, the system blocks your payment. BISP checks NADRA records to confirm your identity. If your ID card is outdated, your name is removed until it is renewed. Visit your nearest NADRA center and renew your CNIC as soon as possible. Once updated, BISP will send your payment again. Keeping your documents updated is the key to avoiding delays.

➤ Unpaid Loans or SIM Registration Problems

People who have unpaid loans or too many SIMs on one CNIC may face payment issues. The government systems check your mobile and financial records. If you have:

Loans that are unpaid
More than four SIMs linked to your CNIC

Then your BISP money may be blocked. To fix this, clear your loan from any microfinance bank or service, and remove extra SIM cards by visiting your mobile network office. This helps keep your CNIC record clean and ensures payment is sent.

➤ Low Attendance in Taleemi Wazaif

For those who receive Taleemi Wazaif payments for their children, BISP checks school attendance. If your child’s attendance is below 75%, the payment may be stopped. This is to make sure that the education support money is being used properly.

To continue getting this benefit:

Ensure your child attends school regularly
Keep a record of attendance
Check with the school if BISP officers visit

Improving your child’s attendance will also improve your chances of receiving full payments.

➤ Bank Account Not Linked

Some people do not have a bank account linked to their BISP registration. This creates issues in getting money quickly. BISP is now improving the payment process through digital wallets and bank transfers. To make sure your payment is not delayed:

Open a bank account in your name
Visit the BISP center to update bank details
Use a bank approved by BISP for this purpose

With a linked account, your future payments will be faster and safer.

Conclusion

In April 2025, many families are struggling with BISP 8171 payment delays due to technical or personal issues. The most common problems include Rs. 32 score errors, expired CNICs, missing registration, unpaid loans, and low school attendance. However, all of these problems have easy solutions. Stay alert, update your information, and contact the helpline if needed. Following the right steps will help you receive your payments without any delay.
