The PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 has been introduced to provide targeted petrol relief to eligible motorcycle, rickshaw, Qingqi and small-car users in Pakistan. Under the scheme, eligible users can receive Rs. 100 relief per litre on a fixed monthly petrol quota.
The government has also introduced a digital registration and token system through 9771, allowing registered users to obtain subsidized petrol at participating fuel stations. The nationwide rollout began from the night of September 16–17, 2026.
PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 Details
The scheme is designed for selected two-wheelers, three-wheelers and cars with engines up to 800cc. The relief is calculated at Rs. 100 per litre rather than being given as a direct cash payment.
| Vehicle Type | Monthly Petrol Limit | Relief Per Litre | Maximum Monthly Relief |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motorcycle | 20 litres | Rs. 100 | Rs. 2,000 |
| Rickshaw | 20 litres | Rs. 100 | Rs. 2,000 |
| Qingqi / Three-Wheeler | 20 litres | Rs. 100 | Rs. 2,000 |
| Car up to 800cc | 30 litres | Rs. 100 | Rs. 3,000 |
The maximum figures are based on the official monthly quotas. For example, 20 litres multiplied by Rs. 100 gives Rs. 2,000 relief, while 30 litres multiplied by Rs. 100 gives Rs. 3,000.
Who Can Get Rs 100 Per Litre Petrol Relief?
The announced scheme covers eligible users of:
- Motorcycles
- Rickshaws
- Qingqi rickshaws
- Other eligible two-wheelers and three-wheelers
- Cars with engines up to 800cc
The scheme is restricted to non-commercial users, and the relief is limited to one vehicle per user or owner under the approved mechanism.
This means applicants should make sure that their vehicle and registration information matches the records used for verification.
20-Litre Petrol Relief for Bikes and Rickshaws
Motorcycle and three-wheeler users can receive the Rs. 100 per litre relief on up to 20 litres of petrol per month.
The maximum relief in this category is therefore:
20 litres × Rs. 100 = Rs. 2,000 per month
According to the Ministry of IT and Telecommunication, this quota is delivered through 5-litre fuel tokens, with each token carrying Rs. 500 in relief.
30-Litre Relief for Cars Up to 800cc
Owners or eligible users of cars with engine capacity up to 800cc can receive the Rs. 100 per litre relief on up to 30 litres per month.
The maximum monthly relief is:
30 litres × Rs. 100 = Rs. 3,000
The 30-litre quota is provided through 10-litre tokens, with each token carrying Rs. 1,000 in relief.
How to Register for PM Fuel Relief Scheme
The government has introduced an SMS-based registration process. Eligible citizens can register from home without visiting an office.
According to the Ministry of IT and Telecommunication, the registration SMS should contain:
REG CNIC Vehicle Number Province Letter Vehicle Registration Date
The message is to be sent to:
9771
For example, the registration format is:
REG CNIC VehicleNumber ProvinceLetter RegistrationDate
Applicants should enter their own correct information and follow the official SMS instructions rather than relying on unofficial registration websites.
How to Get the Petrol Relief Token
Registration alone is not the final step for obtaining discounted petrol. After registration, eligible users need to generate a fuel token before visiting the petrol station.
The official process is:
- Complete registration through 9771.
- Wait for the registration/eligibility process to be completed.
- Before going to the petrol station, send TOK to 9771.
- Receive the fuel token number by SMS.
- Visit a participating fuel station.
- Show the token message to the pump operator.
- The operator verifies the token through the designated system.
- Receive petrol with the applicable Rs. 100 per litre relief.
The Ministry of IT says motorcycle and three-wheeler tokens cover 5 litres and are valid for seven days, while 800cc car tokens cover 10 litres and are valid for 10 days.
When Did the Fuel Relief Scheme Start?
The government announced the scheme on September 13, 2026. It was initially scheduled to begin in Islamabad before being extended nationwide.
The Ministry of IT and Telecommunication stated that registration was opened nationwide, while token generation and redemption started in Islamabad from the night of September 14–15 and expanded nationwide from the night of September 16–17, 2026.
The scheme therefore covers users across Pakistan, subject to the eligibility and verification requirements.
Rs 75 Billion Approved for Fuel Relief
The Economic Coordination Committee approved Rs. 75 billion for the Prime Minister’s Fuel Relief Scheme on September 14, 2026.
The approved mechanism provides Rs. 500 relief per week for eligible two- and three-wheelers, equivalent to 5 litres at Rs. 100 per litre, while eligible cars up to 800cc receive Rs. 1,000 relief for 10 litres at a time within the monthly 30-litre quota.
The scheme is being managed digitally through the Fuel Pass System to help verify users and control the distribution of the subsidy.
