The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is a lifeline for many low-income families across Pakistan. One of the key tools it uses to decide who gets financial help is something called the Proxy Means Test (PMT) score. If you’re unsure about how this score works or whether you qualify for support, this guide is here to help you out.

What Is a PMT Score and Why Does It Matter?
The PMT score is a number calculated by the government to understand how financially stable your household is. The score is based on many things like how much you earn, how many people live with you, your home condition, and whether you own any valuable items.
Here are the main things that affect your PMT score:
-
Your monthly income
-
The number of family members living in your home
-
Whether you own any vehicles, land, or property
-
The education level and job status of family members
-
The type of house you live in (kacha or pakka)
The lower your PMT score, the higher your chances of receiving financial aid from BISP. If your score is too high, you might not qualify.
PMT Score Ranges: Are You Eligible?
Understanding your PMT score range is important. Here’s what each range means in June 2025:
-
0 to 32: You are eligible for BISP payments
-
33 to 40: You might be eligible, depending on your situation
-
Above 40: You are not eligible for regular financial support
However, there are special cases. Widows, disabled persons, and transgender individuals may still qualify with a PMT score up to 37. So don’t give up hope if your score is a bit high.

Final Thoughts
Your PMT score decides if you can get help from BISP. That’s why it’s important to keep your family and income information updated. If your situation changes, don’t hesitate to request a reassessment. Many families miss out on much-needed support just because their data wasn’t current.
Remember, the goal of the BISP and 8171 Ehsaas Program is to support the most vulnerable. Make sure your voice is heard by keeping your information accurate and using official channels to check your eligibility.
