NADRA verification was strengthened to ensure that only genuine and eligible families receive aid.
Biometric verification systems were upgraded to prevent misuse and fraud.

Although these measures caused temporary delays, they were crucial for ensuring fairness, transparency, and accuracy. With these improvements complete, payments are now ready to be released.
