If you’re struggling with a thumbprint not matching while receiving your BISP Rs. 13,500 payment in July 2025, you’re not alone. Thousands of beneficiaries across Pakistan are facing biometric verification errors due to fingerprint mismatches—especially during this hot summer month when skin issues are common.
But don’t worry—whether your fingerprint isn’t scanning at the payment center, or you’re seeing the dreaded “CNIC thumb verification failed” message, we’ve got clear, step-by-step solutions that actually work. From simple home remedies to NADRA biometric updates, here’s how to fix your BISP fingerprint issue and get your cash without delay.
🔍 Why Is My Thumbprint Not Matching at BISP?
The biometric verification system used by BISP cross-checks your thumbprint with NADRA’s database. If the system fails to match your fingerprint, your Rs. 13,500 payment may be blocked—even if you’re fully eligible.
Common Reasons for Fingerprint Rejection:
-
Worn-out prints from labor, aging, or manual work
-
Dry or damaged skin, often due to heat or hard work
-
Outdated CNIC data with NADRA
-
Henna or mehndi interfering with fingerprint scanners
-
Faulty scanners or errors by BISP agents
💡 Quick Home Remedies Before You Visit NADRA
Before running to a BISP office or NADRA center, try these safe and effective home tricks to improve your fingerprint scan:
✅ Step 1: Apply Sunblock or Moisturizing Cream
Dry thumbs? Gently apply a good-quality moisturizer or sunblock to hydrate the skin and enhance fingerprint visibility.
✅ Step 2: Rub Lemon on Your Thumb
A natural cleaner! Rub a lemon slice on your thumb to remove dirt and oil. This helps the fingerprint scanner detect better ridges.
✅ Step 3: Use Warm Water
Soak your hands in lukewarm water for a few minutes. This boosts blood circulation and makes your fingerprint more readable.
⚠️ Avoid using mehndi or dyes before scanning—they block fingerprint detection!
🩺 What Is the Neerubian Injection? Is It Safe?
You may have heard about the Neerubian injection used by some BISP recipients. It’s a vitamin-based injection said to improve skin texture and blood flow, which helps with fingerprint clarity.
