The Government of Pakistan has introduced a PMT (Poverty Means Test) results checking portal through the Utility Stores Corporation (USC) and Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). This system helps families find out their poverty score before registering for social welfare programs like Ehsaas Rashan and BISP Kafalat.
If your PMT score is 40 or below, you may qualify for subsidized food items such as flour, rice, sugar, pulses, ghee, and other essentials through USC outlets across Pakistan. This guide explains the process in detail.
What is PMT?
The Poverty Means Test (PMT) is a scoring system used by BISP to measure household poverty levels. It considers:
- Total household income
- Number of family members
- Expenses and living conditions
- Source of income
Families with a score of 40 or less are considered eligible for different subsidy schemes under Ehsaas and BISP. The lower the score, the higher the chance of receiving benefits.
How to Check USC Org PK PMT Results Online
To check your score through the official USC portal, follow these steps:
- Visit the official USC portal: https://usc.org.pk/pmt-score.
- Enter your CNIC number in the search box (without dashes).
- Click on the “Check” button.
- Your PMT score and eligibility status will be displayed on the screen.
If your PMT score is 40 or less, you qualify for subsidized items at Utility Stores.
Subsidized Items Available
Through USC outlets, eligible families can purchase the following items at reduced prices:
- Flour (Atta): 10 kg bag at subsidized rates.
- Sugar: 1 kg available at discounted price.
- Rice & Pulses: Rs. 25 per kg subsidy.
