Provincial Distribution & Coverage

While the Federal Government sets the baseline of Rs. 13,000, some provinces offer additional perks like free ration bags (Aata, Sugar, Ghee).

• Check Utility Bills: High electricity bills (above Rs. 8,000) can sometimes lead to a high PMT score. If you share a meter, use the “Shared Connection” option on the PSER portal.
