Are you wondering if you qualify for the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) in July 2025? The Government of Pakistan has updated the PMT score limit, making thousands of low-income families eligible for Rs.13,500 quarterly payments and other benefits. If you’re unsure about your PMT score or how to check it, this guide is your complete solution.
What Is PMT Score in BISP and Why It Matters?
PMT stands for Proxy Means Test – a system used to assess a household’s financial condition without asking for salary slips. It uses your data from the NSER survey to calculate a score between 1 and 100, based on:
-
Education level
-
Job type
-
Property and assets
-
Household size
-
Monthly utility bills
The lower your PMT score, the higher your chance of qualifying for BISP support.
New PMT Score Limit for July 2025
| Criteria | Value |
|---|---|

| Previous PMT Score | 32 |
| Eligible Programs | BISP Kafalat, Taleemi Wazaif, Ehsaas support |

With the new limit raised to 34, many families previously excluded now qualify for aid—especially widows, unemployed women, and families with school-aged children.
