PMT Score Over 32?
Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has begun removing thousands of individuals from the 8171 database due to their PMT (Proxy Means Test) Score crossing the official threshold. If your PMT Score is above 32, you are now considered ineligible for further BISP financial aid, including the Rs.. 13,500 installment.
In this article, you’ll learn why this score matters, how it affects your eligibility, and what steps you can take if you’ve been removed from the program in 2025.
🧠 What is a PMT Score and Why It Matter?
The PMT Score is calculated based on the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) data, which includes:
-
Family income
-
Household size
-
Education level
-
Assets and utilities
-
Employment or business type
This score helps BISP target only the poorest families for financial support.
🔴 If your PMT Score is higher than 32, the system considers you financially stable enough not to qualify for monthly or quarterly support.
📊 Who Has Been Removed Due to High PMT Scores?
Women and families who recently:
-
Got re-surveyed under the Dynamic NSER 2023–2025
-
Showed income improvements or new assets
-
Have taxpayer status, overseas travel records, or own businesses
They are now automatically marked “Ineligible” in the BISP system due to updated PMT Scores.

❌ Why Was I Removed If I’m Still Struggling?
You might feel this is unfair, especially if your situation hasn’t improved much. But the BISP system relies on digital data, and even small indicators (e.g., electricity bill amount, motorbike ownership, utility meter) may push your PMT score above 32.
🚫 Even overseas travel, bank accounts, or ownership of household items can increase your score and mark you ineligible.
