Prime Minister Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 — Complete Guide

The Prime Minister's Special Fuel Relief Scheme is a Government of Pakistan initiative designed to reduce the burden of petrol prices on eligible vehicle users. The programme provides targeted fuel discounts for motorcycles, Qingqi rickshaws, other eligible three-wheelers and cars with an engine capacity of up to 800cc.

The scheme uses an SMS-based registration and token system. Eligible applicants can register using their CNIC and vehicle details without completing a conventional online application form.

What Is the Purpose of the Fuel Relief Scheme?

The main objective is to provide targeted financial relief to people who depend on motorcycles, rickshaws and small cars for daily travel and work. The subsidy reduces the effective amount beneficiaries pay for eligible petrol purchases.

Fuel Subsidy Amount

Motorcycles, Qingqi and Rickshaws

Under the revised arrangements announced in September 2026, eligible two- and three-wheeler users can receive a fuel-relief token worth Rs. 500 per week, with up to four tokens per month. The earlier five-litre minimum purchase restriction was removed.

Cars up to 800cc

Eligible cars receive a discount of Rs. 100 per litre on up to 10 litres of petrol per token, with the existing arrangement allowing three tokens over a month.

The actual amount payable depends on the prevailing petrol price and the eligible subsidy. Applicants should confirm their vehicle's eligibility and current token entitlement through the official scheme process.

Who Can Benefit?

The scheme covers eligible motorcycles, Qingqi and rickshaw users, as well as cars with an engine capacity of up to 800cc. Vehicle registration date and other vehicle records are checked as part of eligibility verification.

Government announcements in September 2026 expanded eligibility for older motorcycles, Qingqi and rickshaws. Because eligibility rules may be updated, applicants should confirm the applicable registration-date requirement before relying on older guides.

How to Register Through SMS

Applicants can register by sending an SMS to 9771 in the prescribed format:

REG CNIC VEHICLENUMBER P DDMMYYYY

Replace the example fields with your own details:

• REG: Registration command.
• CNIC: Your 13-digit CNIC number without dashes.
• VEHICLENUMBER: Your vehicle registration number.
• P: The first letter of the province where the vehicle is registered. For Punjab, use P.
• DDMMYYYY: The vehicle's registration date in day-month-year format.

Separate each item with a space. Use the official instructions if the SMS format or province code shown for your case differs.

The government announced that SMS registration charges were waived. Keep your phone available for the reply and follow any additional instructions provided by the official system.

How to Get a Fuel Token

After registration, send TOK to 9771 before visiting a petrol station. Follow the response instructions and keep the token message available on your phone.

At a participating petrol station, present the token so the attendant can verify it and apply the eligible relief. Do not assume that registration alone means a token has been issued.

Important Things to Remember

• Enter your CNIC and vehicle details accurately.
• Check the vehicle registration date and engine capacity requirements.
• Request your token before visiting the petrol station.
• Confirm that the petrol station can process the scheme token.
• Never share your CNIC or other personal details with unofficial websites or agents claiming guaranteed approval.
• Check official announcements for any changes to eligibility, token limits or the registration process.
