The Government of Pakistan has introduced a new petrol relief scheme to help people facing higher fuel costs. Under the scheme, eligible users can receive Rs100 relief per litre of petrol.
The scheme is mainly designed for people who use motorcycles, rickshaws, other eligible two- and three-wheelers, and small cars. However, not every vehicle automatically qualifies for the relief.
Petrol Subsidy Eligibility Who Can Get Rs100 Relief 2026?
The petrol subsidy is available to eligible users of selected vehicles. The main categories include:
- Motorcycles
- Rickshaws
- Qingqi or Chingchi rickshaws
- Eligible two-wheelers
- Eligible three-wheelers
- Cars with engine capacity up to 800cc
The scheme is targeted at non-commercial users. The government has introduced the system to provide direct fuel relief to people who are most affected by increased petrol costs.
Rs100 Petrol Relief Per Litre
Eligible beneficiaries can receive Rs100 per litre relief on petrol.
This means the subsidy is linked to the amount of petrol covered under the scheme rather than being a fixed cash payment given to every applicant.
For example, if a beneficiary receives relief on 5 litres of petrol, the total relief is Rs500. If the eligible fuel quantity is 10 litres, the relief becomes Rs1,000.
The actual benefit depends on the vehicle category and the applicable fuel limit.
Motorcycle and Three-Wheeler Eligibility
Motorcycle owners are one of the main groups covered by the petrol relief scheme.
Eligible motorcycles, rickshaws and other qualifying two- and three-wheelers can receive relief on up to 20 litres of petrol per month.
At Rs100 per litre, the maximum monthly relief for this category can reach Rs2,000.
The fuel relief is provided through the token system. A standard token for motorcycles and three-wheelers covers 5 litres of petrol, which means the relief on one token can be worth Rs500.
Eligible motorcycle and three-wheeler users can generally claim the subsidy once a week, subject to the scheme’s conditions and available monthly limit.
Eligibility for Cars Up to 800cc
- Small car owners can also qualify for the petrol subsidy.
- The main engine-capacity condition is up to 800cc. Cars above 800cc are not included in this category of the relief scheme.
- Eligible small cars can receive relief on up to 30 litres of petrol per month.
- At Rs100 per litre, this means the maximum monthly relief can reach Rs3,000.
- For eligible cars, a fuel token can cover 10 litres of petrol, providing up to Rs1,000 relief through that token.
- Car users can generally claim the fuel relief once every 10 days, subject to the scheme rules.
Vehicle Must Be Eligible and Registered
Having a motorcycle or small car does not automatically guarantee approval.
The vehicle details must match the information provided during registration. Applicants need to provide their CNIC number, vehicle number plate, province of registration and vehicle registration date.
The mobile SIM used for registration should also be registered in the applicant’s own name.
Incorrect information can create problems during verification. Applicants should therefore check their vehicle registration details before sending the registration SMS.
Commercial Vehicles Are Not Included
An important condition of the scheme is that the relief is intended for non-commercial users.
This means the scheme is not designed as a general fuel subsidy for commercial transport or business vehicles.
The government has also limited the relief to one vehicle per user or owner. A person should therefore not expect to receive the same petrol relief separately for multiple vehicles under the same eligibility arrangement.
How to Register for Petrol Subsidy
Eligible applicants can register through the SMS system.
The registration process uses 9771. Applicants need to send the required information in the prescribed format.
The main information required includes:
- CNIC number
- Vehicle number plate
- Province of registration
- Vehicle registration date
After successful registration, the beneficiary can use the TOK option to obtain a fuel relief token before visiting a participating petrol station.
The token is then used to receive the applicable subsidised petrol.
How Much Relief Can You Get?
The maximum benefit depends on the vehicle type.
| Vehicle Category | Monthly Petrol Limit | Relief Per Litre | Maximum Monthly Relief |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motorcycle | 20 litres | Rs100 | Rs2,000 |
| Rickshaw/Three-Wheeler | 20 litres | Rs100 | Rs2,000 |
| Car up to 800cc | 30 litres | Rs100 | Rs3,000 |
These limits are important because the Rs100 relief does not mean that a person can claim the subsidy on unlimited petrol.
What Should Applicants Check Before Registration?
Before registering, applicants should make sure that their vehicle falls within the eligible category and that their registration information is correct.
The CNIC, vehicle number plate and registration details should match official records. The SIM being used for registration should also belong to the applicant.
Applicants should avoid giving their OTP, PIN, banking information or other sensitive details to unknown people. No private agent is required to provide the official petrol relief.
