PMT Score Check

PMT stands for Proxy Means Test. It is a poverty score calculated by the Government of Pakistan, primarily through the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) survey. This score helps programs like BISP, Ehsaas, and Rashan Riayat determine whether a family is eligible for financial assistance.

🧾 Why is PMT Score Important?

Your PMT Score decides if you:

• ✅ Qualify for BISP Kafaalat Rs. 13,500 quarterly payment

• ✅ Get included in Ehsaas 8171 or Rashan Program

• ✅ Receive education stipends for children (Taleemi Wazaif)

• ❌ Or get rejected due to high income/property score

📊 PMT Score Range & Meaning

💡 BISP typically selects beneficiaries with a PMT score below 32.

🛠️ How is PMT Score Calculated?

The score is calculated through:

• Household income

• Family size

• Housing condition

• Utility bills

• Vehicle or land ownership

• Education/employment status

You can’t calculate it manually — it is computed by NADRA and the BISP database after you complete the NSER dynamic survey.

🧭 How to Check PMT Score (Without Searching Online)

You can check your PMT Score in the following ways:

✅ 1. Via 8171 SMS Service

• Send your 13-digit CNIC number to 8171

• If you’re already surveyed and eligible, you’ll get a reply

• Some replies may include phrases like:

  • “Aap ka PMT score 30 hai. Aap ahl hain.”

  • “Aap ka score ziada hai. Aap program k liye ahl nahi.”

✅ 2. Via BISP Office Visit

If the SMS doesn’t give enough info:

• Visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office

• Ask for your NSER or PMT Score slip

• Bring:

  • Your CNIC

  • Child B-Form (if applicable)

They will check your profile in the internal portal and tell you your score.

✅ 3. Through Survey Confirmation

If your PMT score isn’t visible, it may mean:

• You haven’t completed the Dynamic Survey

• Or your data is under review/re-verification

In that case:

• Visit the NSER Registration Center

• Complete the Dynamic Survey

• Wait for 2–3 weeks for scoring and SMS response
