Expired CNICs can temporarily affect payment release, but BISP now allows beneficiaries to verify status online, renew CNIC with NADRA, and re-link their details digitally. This guide will explain how you can check online eligibility after CNIC expiry, update your records, and continue receiving assistance under the program.

Why CNIC Validity Matters for BISP?
