What is PMT Score in BISP and Government Schemes?

PMT stands for Proxy Means Test, which is a poverty measuring score calculated during the NSER survey by the government.

✅ Score Range: 0 to 100
✅ Purpose: Identify deserving families based on assets, income, dependents, education, and household conditions.
✅ Lower Score Means Higher Eligibility: The lower your PMT score, the more likely you qualify for BISP, Ehsaas, Taleemi Wazaif, and ration subsidy programs.

Aspect	Details
Full Form	Proxy Means Test
Score Range	0 – 100
Ideal Score for BISP	Below 32 or 37 (scheme-specific)
Where Calculated	During NSER dynamic survey
Can It Change?	Yes, if household conditions change

Why PMT Score Matters for BISP Payments

Your PMT score decides whether you will:

• Get quarterly BISP payments (e.g. 13,500 installment)
• Receive Taleemi Wazaif for your children
• Benefit from Ehsaas Rashan Riayat
• Qualify for other subsidies or utility relief programs

If your PMT score is above the defined threshold, you will be marked ineligible, and your payments will be stopped until re-surveyed or conditions change.

How to Check Your PMT Score Online

Currently, the government does not provide an open public PMT score check website. However, you can check it indirectly through these methods:

1. 8171 Web Portal

• Visit 8171.bisp.gov.pk
• Enter your CNIC and captcha code
• If it shows “آپ اہل ہیں”, your PMT is within the eligible range. If it says “آپ اہل نہیں ہیں”, your PMT is above the limit.

2. SMS to 8171

• Send your CNIC number to 8171
• Wait for the eligibility SMS. If eligible, your PMT is fine. If not, it is above the threshold.

3. Visit BISP Tehsil Office

• Request the officer to check your PMT score in the NSER system.
• Carry your CNIC and updated household data to avoid issues.

What is the PMT Score Cutoff for BISP Programs?

Program	PMT Score Limit
BISP Kafaalat Payment	Below 32 or 37 (region-specific)
Ehsaas Rashan Riayat	Below 40
Taleemi Wazaif	Same as BISP eligibility

These cutoffs may slightly change based on government policies, but generally, scores below 32-37 remain eligible.

How is PMT Score Calculated During NSER Survey?

The NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) surveyor asks questions about:

• House construction material (pukka/kacha)
• Number of rooms and dependents
• Education levels of family members
• Employment status
• Monthly income and expenditures
• Ownership of assets (bike, car, fridge, etc.)
• Utility bill data

Using this data, the system calculates your Proxy Means Test (PMT) score automatically.

Can You Improve Your PMT Score?

Technically, PMT score is not improvable by choice, but if your economic conditions worsen (e.g. job loss, health issues, loss of assets), your PMT score may reduce upon re-survey.

Here’s what you can do:

• Update NSER survey if family conditions have changed
• Ensure correct data entry by survey staff
• Visit BISP office and request dynamic survey registration
