The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) determines the eligibility of its beneficiaries by conducting a survey. Each applicant is then assigned a specific number, called the PMT score. This score indicates whether a person is eligible for Benazir Kafalat 1200 support. Those with a score below 30 are eligible for the monthly payment, while those who are marked as ineligible have a PMT score above 30.
Recently, the BISP Director General shared breaking news for women who are considered ineligible due to their high PMT scores. In 2025, they will have another chance to update their data.
For those women, beneficiaries are ineligible due to high PMT scores
Many women who had applied for the Benazir Kafaalat 8171 programme were found to be ineligible when they checked their eligibility score using their CNIC number. The high PMT score indicates that they are not classified as living below the poverty line. Since the BISP program is designed to help Pakistan’s poorest, specific criteria have been set to determine who is eligible.
For those who were disqualified from the program due to high scores, there is an encouraging update. They will have the opportunity to take a new survey in June 2025 that could allow them to qualify for future payments from the BISP program.
