What Is a PMT Score?
When your household completes the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) survey, BISP calculates a PMT score from the information collected — family size, income sources, housing, assets and education. The lower your score, the more financially vulnerable your household is considered. This single number decides your Benazir Kafaalat eligibility.
PMT Score Ranges Explained
| PMT Score | Status |
|---|---|
| 0 – 16 | Extremely poor — automatically eligible |
| 17 – 32 | Eligible for standard Benazir Kafaalat payments |
| 33 – 37 | Eligible only if the household includes a disabled member |
| Above 37 | Not eligible under current rules |
How to Check Your PMT Score by CNIC
Be careful here, because many websites mislead people: your exact PMT score is NOT shown on the 8171 web portal or by SMS. The portal and SMS only tell you “Eligible” or “Not Eligible”. To learn your actual score:
- Visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office with your original CNIC.
- Ask the desk to check your NSER record and PMT score.
- If your survey is old (more than 3 years) or your family situation has changed — a birth, death, marriage, or loss of income — request a dynamic re-survey. It is free.
Common Myths About PMT Score
- Owning a basic mobile phone does not disqualify you.
- A son working as a daily-wage labourer does not automatically disqualify the household.
- Owning one motorcycle raises the score slightly but does not by itself make you ineligible.
- Going for Hajj or Umrah with community support does not automatically disqualify you.
My Score Is Above 32 — What Can I Do?
If your household’s real condition has become worse since your last survey, visit the Tehsil Office and request a re-survey with your current documents. If a disabled family member lives in your household, tell the office — the cut-off for your household is 37, not 32. Never pay an agent who promises to “fix” your score; no agent can change it.
