What is NSER?
NSER stands for National Socio-Economic Registry. It is a national-level database made by the Government of Pakistan to keep track of people’s:
- Family income
- House type (pukka/kachha)
- Number of children
- Job status
- School/education information
- Disability or widow status
This data is collected door-to-door by government teams and later used to calculate a family’s PMT Score (Proxy Means Test Score).
What is PMT Score?
PMT Score is a number between 0 to 100.
- A lower PMT score means the family is very poor
- A higher score means the family is better off
Example:
| PMT Score | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 10-25 | Very poor – Eligible for all programs |
| 26-32 | Poor – Eligible for most programs |
| 33+ | Not eligible |
✅ If your PMT score is below 32, you may get money or help from BISP or Ehsaas.

NSER & BISP – What’s the Connection?
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) uses NSER data to select eligible families for support.
Here’s how it works:
- NSER team collects your family data
- Government calculates your PMT score
- If your PMT score is below 32, you get cash support
- BISP sends money through banks or retail shops
- You can also get child scholarships (Wazifa)
So, without NSER registration, you cannot be part of BISP.

NSER & Ehsaas Program – Are They Different?
No, they are connected.
The Ehsaas Program was launched in 2019 to help poor families. Now, many Ehsaas schemes are merged into BISP, such as:
- Ehsaas Kafalat
- Ehsaas Wazifa
- Ehsaas Emergency Cash
- Ehsaas Rashan Riayat
All these programs use the same NSER survey data to select eligible people. So:
1 survey = eligibility for all programs
If you are registered in NSER and your PMT score is low, you can qualify for:
- Cash support
- Educational scholarships
- Free rashan (food support)
- Medical support (in some cases)
How to Register in NSER Survey?
