What is the BISP Poverty Score?

The BISP poverty score is a numerical value given to each household after NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) survey.

• It is based on your income, expenses, property details, family size, and living conditions.
• The score ranges from 0 to 100.
• Lower score = higher poverty = higher chance of receiving support.

In simple terms, the government uses this score to decide if your family is among the poorest households deserving of aid.

BISP Poverty Score Criteria (September 2025 Update)

In September 2025, the government of Pakistan has once again clarified the poverty score threshold:

Poverty Score Range	Eligibility Status
0 – 32	Fully Eligible for BISP payments
33 – 40	May qualify under special schemes (Ehsaas Education, Health)
41+	Not eligible for BISP monthly stipend

👉 If your poverty score is below 32, you are safe and will continue receiving Rs. 13,500 installments.

If you don’t have a smartphone or internet:

Common Problems Families Face with Poverty Score

Many readers complain:

• “Mera score 35 hai, main payment kyun nahi le sakta?”
• “Score 29 hai lekin installment nahi aayi.”
• “Survey ke baad score update nahi hua.”

Let’s solve these real-life issues.

1. Score is above 32 but income is low

👉 Sometimes, survey data shows extra property or higher income mistakenly. In this case, you should re-verify through the latest NSER survey at your nearest office.

2. Score below 32 but still no payment

👉 This usually happens due to CNIC biometric mismatch or account verification issues. Visit NADRA office to update your CNIC and then inform your BISP office.

3. Score not updated after re-survey

👉 Data synchronization sometimes takes 2–3 weeks. Keep your token slip safe as proof, and follow up after 15 days.

Eligibility Requirements Linked to Poverty Score

Apart from score, families must also fulfill basic requirements:

• Must be a Pakistani citizen with valid CNIC.
• Must not be a government employee or receiving pension.
• Should not own large agricultural land or property.
• Household electricity and gas bills must not exceed a certain limit.
