PMT Score Check Online – 6 November 2025 Update

If you want to apply for the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) or Ehsaas Program 8171 in Pakistan, you first need to check your PMT Score (Poverty Means Test Score).
As of October 2025, the Government of Pakistan has made it free, fast, and simple to check your score online or via SMS.

The PMT Score is a number given to your household based on your financial situation. It is calculated from the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) Survey, which considers:

1. Family size
2. Monthly income
3. Education level
4. Property ownership
5. Assets and possessions

Rule: If your PMT score is 32 or below, you are usually eligible for BISP/Ehsaas cash assistance. If it’s above 32, you may not qualify—unless your updated data shows genuine financial need.

Why is PMT Score Important?

1. Decides eligibility for monthly BISP/Ehsaas payments.
2. Prevents application rejection.
3. Keeps government household records accurate.

The Government has introduced a free online service for checking your PMT score:
