A Big Shift for Poor Families in Pakistan

August 2025 has brought major news for families under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). The government has revised the PMT score rule again, and this change directly affects who will receive Rs. 13,500 this month. For thousands of people, this could mean the start of payments—or the end of them.

If you or someone in your family is a beneficiary, this article will explain everything in simple, easy-to-understand English. We’ll talk about what PMT is, what has changed, who is eligible now, and how you can check your payment status.

What Is the BISP PMT Score?

PMT stands for Proxy Means Test. It’s a scoring system used by BISP to decide if a family is poor enough to get help. It looks at:

• Family size

• Monthly income

• Type of house

• Education level

• Asset ownership (car, land, etc.)

Once this data is collected through the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) or Dynamic Survey, a score is generated.

✅ The lower your PMT score, the more likely you are to qualify.
