If your Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) payment was rejected in 2025 due to incorrect marriage status, you’re not alone. Thousands of women face payment blocks because of mismatched marital data in NADRA records. Good news: Fixing this issue takes less than 30 minutes!** This government-approved guide explains why your status matters, how to update it, and reclaim your Rs. 10,500 payment.
Why Marriage Status Affects BISP Eligibility
The BISP program prioritizes women from low-income households, especially widows, divorcees, or those with disabled spouses. If your NADRA record shows:
- 🚫 Incorrect marital status (e.g., marked “married” but you’re divorced).
- 🚫 Husband’s income exceeding the threshold (even if you’re separated).
- 🚫 Missing spouse data (e.g., widow status not updated).
…your payment can be blocked.
