Thousands of women are facing biometric issues in collecting their BISP 8171 payments in August 2025. But the good news is—a new BISP biometric failure solution has been introduced by the government. Whether your thumbprint is not matching or you’ve been blocked due to repeated failure, this guide will help you get your Rs. 13,500 payment without stress.
Why BISP Biometric Verification Fails in 2025
Biometric failures in the BISP 8171 program happen due to several reasons:
-
Worn-out or damaged fingerprints (especially in older women)
-
Faulty biometric machines at payment centers
-
Network or system errors during verification
-
Mismatch between CNIC data and NADRA records
These issues delay the payment process and create frustration among thousands of eligible families.

This biometric failure solution ensures that no eligible person is denied their rightful Rs. 13,500 cash aid.
