When looking for the list of beneficiaries for Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), or planning to register, one key thing you should know is your PMT score.

Eligible families will be able to see their PMT score and BISP status online through their CNIC in July 2026. Here’s a basic explanation of the process.
What is PMT score?
Proxy Means Test, or PMT, is a question that is often asked in a tax exam. Poverty score created by the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER). The system looks at your family’s financial situation, rather than your salary to determine eligibility, taking into account factors like property ownership, income sources, household size, education, and living standards.
The lower the PMT score, the better the odds are that a person can get government financial aid.
