What Is BISP Poverty Score?

The BISP Poverty Score is a number given to each household after checking its financial condition. This score is made using data from the NSER survey. BISP checks things like income, family size, house condition, education, and assets.

A lower score means more poverty, while a higher score shows better financial status. Only families under the allowed score limit are approved for BISP payments.
