What Is the PMT Score and Why Does It Matter in BISP 8171?
PMT (Poverty Score) is a number between 0 and 100. It shows if you can get help from programs like BISP, Ehsaas Kafalat, or NSER.
This score is calculated using:
- Your monthly income
- How many people live in your house
- What properties or vehicles do you own
- Your monthly expenses (like electricity bills, rent, etc.)
If your PMT score is between 0 and 32, you have a good chance to qualify.
If your score is above 40, you may not be eligible for these programs
