What If You Already Applied Before 2025
If you applied in 2024 or before and didn’t get selected, now is the right time to recheck your status.
Many families who were rejected earlier are now becoming eligible because the government has changed the PMT score formula.
You should update your family information if your number of children, income, or address has changed.
Visit your nearest BISP office for updating details.
What Is PMT Score and How It Affects You
The PMT (Poverty Means Test) score decides if you are poor enough to receive BISP help.
It is calculated using:
-
Your income
-
Number of family members
-
Type of house
-
Any vehicle or land you own
-
Education level of family members
If your PMT score is below 32, you may be accepted
If your score is higher than 32, your request will be rejected
If you feel your score is wrong, you can appeal and request a re-evaluation at the BISP Tehsil Office.
How Much Will You Get After Registration
Once you are approved, you may receive the following payments:
-
Rs. 9,000 every 3 months under BISP Kafaalat
-
Rs. 18,000 or Rs. 27,000 in special double installments (if missed earlier)
-
Additional cash for school-going children under Taleemi Wazaif (Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 4,000)
You will be informed by SMS once the payment is ready. You can collect it from the nearest payment center, bank ATM, or retailer.
