BISP 8171 is one of Pakistan’s major social safety nets, providing financial help to the poorest families. In June 2025, BISP introduced an important update to the 8171 payment system to make sure that only the most deserving families get this support. This update focuses on the PMT score, which helps identify families truly living in poverty. If you want to know how the new system works, who qualifies, and how you can check or improve your eligibility, this article explains everything in simple, easy-to-understand language.
What Is the BISP 8171 New Update?
In June 2025, BISP updated its eligibility criteria for payments through the 8171 system. The key change is that only families with a PMT score below 34 will now receive payments. Women whose poverty score is above 34 will no longer be eligible.This update aims to remove families with better income or assets from the program, ensuring that funds go only to the most deserving households.
Understanding the PMT Score
The PMT score is a number calculated based on your household’s socio-economic data collected during the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) dynamic survey. This score helps determine how poor or financially vulnerable your family is.
- PMT Score 0-20: Highly deserving families with very low or no income.
- PMT Score 21-33: Families considered below the poverty line and eligible.
- PMT Score 34 & Above: Families with better income or assets, not eligible for BISP.
The PMT score is crucial because it directly decides whether you qualify for BISP payments or not.
