How to Reduce PMT Score and Get 13500 BISP Payment – August 2025 Eligibility Guide

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) continues to help thousands of low-income families across Pakistan. However, many beneficiaries are concerned about their PMT score (Poverty Measurement Tool score), which determines their eligibility for the BISP 8171 program.

In August 2025, the government announced that families with a low PMT score will be able to receive the Rs. 13,500 quarterly payment. This article explains how you can reduce your PMT score and become eligible for the latest payment.

Understanding the PMT Score

The PMT score is a number used by the government to identify families in need. It is calculated through the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) survey.

• A low PMT score means you are more likely to qualify for assistance.
• A high PMT score means you may be considered ineligible.

In 2025, the eligibility PMT threshold for BISP payments is 32 or below.

Why Your PMT Score Matters in August 2025

In August, BISP 8171 new payments are being issued. However, many households are facing issues because their PMT score has increased due to property ownership, bank account balances, or household income.

If your score is high, you may not be included in the August 2025 Rs. 13,500 payment cycle. That’s why it’s important to know how to reduce your PMT score before the next verification.

Steps to Reduce PMT Score and Qualify for Rs. 13,500

1. Update Your Household Data

If your family income has reduced or your situation has changed, visit the nearest BISP Tehsil Office to update your NSER data.

• Provide accurate details of family size, employment status, and income.
• Remove any outdated or incorrect records that increase your PMT score.

2. Avoid High Bank Transactions

Large deposits or frequent bank transfers can raise your PMT score.

• Keep your bank balance minimal.
• Avoid unnecessary account activity before NSER verification.

3. Declutter Your Asset Record

Owning vehicles, expensive electronics, or large properties increases your score.

• If possible, avoid registering unnecessary assets under your name.
• Only keep essential items in your record.

4. Register All Dependents

Families with more children or dependents generally have a lower PMT score.

• Make sure all children and elderly dependents are registered in your household data.

5. Stay Updated with Dynamic Survey

The BISP Dynamic Survey 2025 is ongoing in many districts.

• Visit your local BISP center for re-verification.
• Inform them about any recent financial hardships.
