Why PMT Score Matters for BISP

The PMT score is a digital measure of poverty in Pakistan. It is calculated by using NADRA and NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) data. The score is based on several factors like:

  • Household size

  • Monthly income

  • Employment status

  • Assets and land ownership

  • Utility usage (electricity and gas bills)

BISP uses this score to decide who qualifies for cash assistance. Families with a lower PMT score are considered more deserving.
