The BISP 13500 installment has been a much-needed financial support for many low-income families in Pakistan. But in recent months, several beneficiaries have faced issues due to their accounts being blocked. If you or someone you know hasn’t received the latest installment, there’s no need to panic. The reactivation process has officially started in 2025, and it’s much easier than you think.
Why Your BISP Account or Payment May Be Blocked
Let’s break it down. There are a few common reasons why your BISP account might be frozen:
-
Expired CNIC: If your identity card isn’t valid, your payments will stop.
-
Tax Filer Issue: If someone in your household is listed as a tax filer, you may get disqualified.
-
High PMT Score: A Proxy Means Test score above 32 disqualifies families seen as financially stable.
-
Biometric Mismatch: If your fingerprint doesn’t match at the payment center, your payment won’t process.
-
Unupdated Family Info: Not reporting events like a death, divorce, or marriage can block your payments.
-
Travel History: Some women who traveled abroad for Hajj or Umrah might be temporarily disqualified.
Steps to Reactivate Your BISP 13500 Payment
Reactivating your account is simple if you follow the right steps:
1. Renew Your CNIC
Make sure your CNIC is updated. Go to NADRA, renew your card, and then inform your nearest BISP office.
2. Update Your Household Details
Visit the BISP Tehsil Office and provide correct details about your household, especially if there’s been a recent death, marriage, or separation.
3. Recheck Your PMT Score
If you feel your score no longer reflects your financial situation, request a re-survey to lower it.
4. Fix Biometric Issues
Fingerprint not matching? Head to NADRA, update your biometrics, and try again after a few days.
5. Submit Proper Certificates
If you’re a widow, separated, or divorced, submit the correct legal documents so your status can be updated.
6. Handle Tax Problems
If you’re wrongly listed as a tax filer, visit the BISP office with an affidavit to clarify your actual income status.
