Understanding the Resumption of Blocked Payments
BISP periodically reviews cases of blocked payments, especially after re-verification drives or data reconciliation efforts. The July 2025 payment cycle includes a dedicated effort to disburse funds to those whose eligibility issues have been resolved.
Why Payments Get Blocked (and Now Unblocked)
Payments can get blocked for various reasons, including:
- Data Discrepancies: Mismatches in NADRA data (e.g., marital status, family details) or issues during the NSER survey process.
- Eligibility Criteria Updates: Changes in eligibility criteria or if a family’s PMT score increased beyond the threshold.
- Pending Verification: Sometimes payments are blocked awaiting further verification or completion of dynamic surveys. The BISP Dynamic Survey is crucial for this. For details: BISP Dynamic Survey 2025: Complete Registration Guide & Eligibility Check via 8171.
- Administrative Holds: Temporary holds due to system upgrades or administrative reviews.
The current resumption indicates that many of these underlying issues have been addressed or resolved by BISP.
