BISP Poverty Score September 2025
BISP Poverty Score September 2025. For millions of families throughout Pakistan, the Benazir Income Support Programme is much more. Rather than a government scheme. In BISP 8171 Phase 2 September 2025, the government shared an important update that positions the BISP Poverty Score at the heart of eligibility and payments approvals. The poverty score is not just a number. It is the key to accessing financial help for a household that only the score can determine.
The government’s vision is to connect the poverty score to digital verification and transparent systems via the National Socio-Economic Registry. It is to ensure that every rupee of support flows to the right person, for every person who desperately needs it, as quickly as possible. While everyone is excitedly awaiting their time. And to understand their own poverty score. The approvals needed to support the delivery of timely payments without delays.
What is the BISP Poverty Score?
The BISP Poverty Score is assigned to every household that participated in the NSER survey. It reflects the family’s financial condition and living standards. The score is based on several factors:
- Household income – Monthly earnings of the family
- Assets owned – Property, vehicles, or land in the family’s name
- Employment type – Stable jobs, daily wages, or unemployment status
- Household size – Number of dependents in the family
- Education level – Literacy and school enrollment
The rule is simple: the lower your poverty score, the higher your chances of qualifying. Families with low or unstable income are prioritized over those with assets and stable earnings.
September 2025 Eligibility Rules – Who Qualifies?
With the latest update, eligibility rules have become stricter to make sure that only deserving families get financial support. Here are the updated requirements:
