The Petrol Relief Scheme has been introduced by the Government of Pakistan to reduce the burden of rising petrol prices on low-income and middle-class citizens. Under this scheme, eligible motorcycle, rickshaw, Qingqi and other two- and three-wheeler users can receive Rs.100 per litre petrol relief, while cars with engines up to 800cc can also get the same relief within a specified monthly limit.
The important point is that petrol has not become Rs.100 cheaper for everyone. Instead, the government is providing a targeted subsidy to eligible vehicle owners and users.
As of September 15, 2026, the regular petrol price has been revised to Rs.380.24 per litre.
Petrol Relief Scheme 2026 Latest Update
The government announced the special fuel relief scheme after the sharp increase in international oil prices and its impact on consumers in Pakistan.
Under the scheme:
- Motorcycles are eligible for Rs.100 per litre relief.
- Rickshaws can receive Rs.100 per litre relief.
- Qingqi and other eligible two- and three-wheelers are covered.
- Cars with engines up to 800cc are eligible.
- The subsidy is for non-commercial users.
- Only one eligible vehicle can receive relief per user or owner.
- The relief is subject to a monthly fuel quota.
This means ordinary consumers should not expect the petrol station’s displayed price to simply fall by Rs.100. The discount is provided through the government’s targeted fuel relief mechanism.
How Much Petrol Relief Will You Get?
The amount of relief depends on the type of vehicle.
Motorcycle and Rickshaw Relief
Users of motorcycles, rickshaws and other eligible two- and three-wheelers can receive relief of Rs.100 per litre on up to 20 litres of petrol per month.
That means the maximum monthly benefit can be:
20 litres × Rs.100 = Rs.2,000
So an eligible motorcycle user could receive up to Rs.2,000 in monthly petrol relief if the full quota is used.
800cc Car Petrol Relief
Owners of eligible cars with engines up to 800cc can receive Rs.100 per litre relief on up to 30 litres per month.
The maximum monthly calculation is:
30 litres × Rs.100 = Rs.3,000
Therefore, an eligible 800cc car owner could receive up to Rs.3,000 in petrol relief per month under the announced quota.
Petrol Relief Scheme Registration Method
The government has introduced a digital registration process for the scheme. According to the information released by the Ministry of IT and Telecom, eligible applicants can register from home through SMS.
Applicants need to send their required vehicle information to 9771.
The announced information includes:
- CNIC number
- Vehicle plate number
- First letter of the province
- Vehicle registration date
These details are sent through SMS to 9771 to complete the registration process.
Applicants should enter their information carefully because incorrect vehicle or CNIC details may create problems during verification.
How to Get Cheap Petrol After Registration?
Registration alone does not mean that you can immediately receive subsidized petrol every time you visit a fuel station.
The government has also announced a token-based mechanism.
After becoming registered, the beneficiary should send TOK to 9771 before visiting the petrol station. A fuel relief token will then be issued, and the eligible user can present the token at the participating fuel station to receive the subsidized fuel.
Simple Steps
- Check that your vehicle meets the eligibility criteria.
- Send the required CNIC and vehicle information to 9771.
- Complete the registration process.
- Wait for confirmation according to the government’s SMS system.
- Before purchasing subsidized petrol, send TOK to 9771.
- Receive the fuel relief token.
- Show the token at the relevant petrol station.
- Purchase petrol under the applicable relief quota.
When Will the Petrol Relief Start?
The implementation is being carried out in phases.
The government said the scheme would begin in Islamabad during the night between September 14 and 15, while the relief would be extended to the rest of Pakistan, including Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, during the night between September 16 and 17.
This phased rollout means users outside Islamabad may need to wait until the nationwide implementation begins before they can use the facility.
Is Petrol Really Rs.100 Cheaper?
This is the most important question raised by the viral images and social media posts.
No, petrol is not generally Rs.100 cheaper at the pump.
The government has announced a Rs.100-per-litre targeted subsidy for eligible users. The normal petrol price remains applicable, while the government provides relief through the fuel subsidy system.
For example, with the current petrol price at Rs.380.24 per litre, an eligible beneficiary receiving the full Rs.100 relief would effectively get Rs.100 of government support on each eligible litre within the applicable quota.
So the image’s statement about Rs.100 petrol relief refers to the subsidy, not a universal Rs.100 reduction in the official petrol price.
Who Can Benefit From the Scheme?
The main target of the Petrol Relief Scheme is lower-income and middle-class consumers who depend heavily on petrol for daily travel.
The announced eligible categories include:
- Motorcycle users
- Rickshaw users
- Qingqi users
- Other eligible two- and three-wheelers
- Owners/users of cars up to 800cc
The scheme is restricted to non-commercial users, and the relief is limited to one vehicle per user or owner.
What Is the Fuel Pass System?
The government is also introducing a digital Fuel Pass System (FPS) to manage the relief scheme.
The system is intended to help verify beneficiaries, control the allocated fuel quota and improve transparency in the distribution of the subsidy. The Ministry of IT and Telecom is responsible for deploying and managing the digital system.
The government has also approved Rs.75 billion as a technical supplementary grant for implementation of the Prime Minister’s Fuel Relief Scheme.
