First things first, PMT stands for Proxy Means Test. It’s basically a score calculated using the data you provided during your NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) survey. This score helps the government figure out how financially strong or weak a family is.
The lower your PMT score, the higher your chances of getting support through the Benazir Income Support Programme. The BISP team uses this score to see if someone deserves financial aid or not.
