Rising petrol prices are putting additional pressure on households, particularly people who depend on motorcycles, rickshaws and other small vehicles for their daily travel and work.
To provide targeted support, the government has introduced the PM Fuel Relief Scheme, under which eligible vehicle users can receive a Rs. 100 per litre reduction on a limited monthly petrol quota.
The programme is aimed primarily at motorcycle and three-wheeler users, along with owners of vehicles having engines of up to 800cc.
What Is the PM Fuel Relief Scheme?
The PM Fuel Relief Scheme is a targeted petrol assistance programme designed to reduce the impact of higher fuel costs on users of smaller vehicles.
Instead of providing a discount on unlimited petrol purchases, the scheme uses a monthly fuel limit. Eligible applicants can receive relief on a specified number of litres each month.
The available relief is:
| Vehicle Category | Monthly Petrol Limit | Relief Per Litre | Maximum Monthly Relief |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motorcycles & eligible 2/3-wheelers | 20 litres | Rs. 100 | Rs. 2,000 |
| Vehicles up to 800cc | 30 litres | Rs. 100 | Rs. 3,000 |
This means an eligible motorcycle or three-wheeler user could receive up to Rs. 2,000 in monthly fuel relief, while an eligible small-car owner could receive up to Rs. 3,000, subject to the programme’s applicable conditions.
Who Can Apply for Fuel Relief?
The scheme is intended for people using eligible smaller vehicles. The main categories include:
- Motorcycles
- Rickshaws
- Qingqi and other eligible three-wheelers
- Other qualifying two-wheelers
- Cars and vehicles with engines of up to 800cc
Small cars such as the Suzuki Mehran, Alto and Bolan have been mentioned in government information associated with the programme.
Eligibility is subject to verification of the applicant and vehicle information.
What Documents and Information Are Required?
Applicants should have the following information available before attempting registration:
- A valid CNIC
- A mobile SIM registered in the applicant’s own name
- Correct vehicle registration information
- Vehicle details that can be verified through the relevant provincial Excise Department record
Providing incorrect information may cause registration or verification problems.

The registration process is based on SMS. Applicants are instructed to send their vehicle and identification information using the prescribed format.

How to Receive the Fuel Relief Token

Token Process
Send:
TOKto 9771.
The token is intended to be used at a participating petrol station. The petrol pump can verify the token before applying the applicable relief to the user’s eligible fuel purchase.
How Does the Petrol Discount Work?
The scheme does not mean that every litre of petrol purchased throughout the month will receive a discount.
Instead, the Rs. 100 per litre relief applies within the assigned monthly quota.
For example:
- A qualifying two- or three-wheeler may receive relief on up to 20 litres.
- A qualifying vehicle up to 800cc may receive relief on up to 30 litres.
Therefore, the maximum possible monthly benefit is determined by both the vehicle category and the permitted fuel limit.
When Is the Scheme Being Rolled Out?
According to the information reported with the announcement, the programme was scheduled to begin in Islamabad from midnight between September 14 and 15, followed by implementation across the rest of Pakistan, including AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan, from midnight between September 16 and 17.
As implementation details can change, applicants should verify the latest government instructions before relying on a particular date or procedure.
Why Was the Fuel Relief Introduced?
The relief programme was announced against a backdrop of increasing international oil prices and pressure on domestic fuel costs.
Motorcycles, rickshaws and small vehicles are widely used for commuting and earning a livelihood. A targeted reduction in petrol costs can therefore provide short-term assistance to people who depend heavily on these vehicles.
The scheme focuses on smaller vehicles rather than offering the same benefit to all petrol consumers.
Important Points for Applicants
Before registering, applicants should carefully check:
- Their CNIC information is correct.
- The mobile SIM is registered in their own name.
- The vehicle number matches the official registration record.
- The correct province or territory code is used.
- The registration date follows the required DDMMYYYY format.
- They use the official SMS procedure rather than relying on unverified social-media posts.
Applicants should also be careful about websites or individuals asking for unnecessary personal information or payment in exchange for registration.
