The Prime Minister’s Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 has been launched to provide targeted petrol relief to eligible users of motorcycles, rickshaws, Qingqi rickshaws and small cars up to 800cc. Under the scheme, eligible beneficiaries can receive Rs100 per litre relief on petrol, while registration is available through the 9771 SMS service.
The scheme comes after a sharp rise in petroleum prices linked to disruption and tensions in the Middle East. The government says the program is designed to reduce the impact of higher fuel costs on lower-income and other eligible consumers.
Most importantly, the scheme is now being rolled out nationwide, including Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, following its initial implementation in Islamabad. Registration is open through 9771.
PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 Latest Update
The federal government has confirmed Rs100 per litre petrol relief for eligible vehicles.
The scheme covers motorcycles and other two-wheelers, three-wheelers such as rickshaws and Qingqi, and eligible small cars with engines up to 800cc.
The Economic Coordination Committee approved Rs75 billion for the Prime Minister’s Fuel Relief Scheme. According to the ECC decision, two- and three-wheelers receive relief equivalent to Rs500 per week for five litres, while cars up to 800cc receive Rs1,000 for ten days, based on a monthly allowance of 30 litres.
How Much Petrol Relief Will You Get?
For eligible two- and three-wheelers, the government originally announced Rs100-per-litre relief on up to 20 litres per month. The ECC implementation framework describes this as 5 litres per week, equivalent to a maximum relief of Rs500 per week.
For eligible cars up to 800cc, the allowance is based on up to 30 litres per month, meaning the maximum monthly value of the Rs100-per-litre relief can reach Rs3,000 if the full eligible allowance is used.
The relief is therefore a discount/subsidy of Rs100 per eligible litre; it does not mean petrol itself costs Rs100 per litre.
Who Is Eligible for PM Petrol Relief Scheme 2026?
The scheme covers eligible users of:
Motorcycles and other two-wheelers
Rickshaws and Qingqi/three-wheelers
Cars with engines up to 800cc
The nationwide implementation information also refers to eligible loaders and pick-ups within the covered categories.
The ECC has said the scheme is restricted to non-commercial users, with relief limited to one vehicle per user/owner.
Applicants should allow the official verification system to determine their eligibility rather than assuming registration automatically guarantees the subsidy.
PM Fuel Relief Scheme 9771 Registration 2026
Registration has been deliberately designed to be simple.
The government says only four basic pieces of information are needed:
- CNIC number
- Vehicle registration/number plate
- Province where the vehicle is registered
- Vehicle registration date
Applicants can send this information to 9771 from their mobile phone.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also directed that the SMS required for registration be made free of charge.
How to Send SMS to 9771
The official publicity material explains the registration format using four pieces of information.
Start the message with:
REG
Then enter your CNIC number, followed by the vehicle number plate, the designated province letter, and the vehicle registration date.
The advertisement shows an example structured like:
REG 4650191820545 LHR123 P 30082018
The province indicator should correspond to the province/territory where the vehicle is registered, as explained in the official campaign material.
Applicants should enter the information exactly as recorded in the vehicle registration database.
Province Codes for 9771 Registration
The government advertisement displays first-letter identifiers for the registration province/territory, including letters corresponding to Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Islamabad, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Because a wrong registration entry can affect verification, use the province indicator specified in the official instructions rather than guessing.
What Happens After Sending REG to 9771?
After submitting your registration information, the system checks the details against the relevant records.
The government says it has introduced a simplified procedure with minimum checks and balances so that eligible people can register more easily.
Registration itself should not be confused with final fuel redemption. Eligible registered users need a fuel token before obtaining subsidized petrol.
How to Get Petrol Token Through 9771
Once successfully registered, send:
TOK
to 9771 before going to the petrol station.
The system will issue a fuel-relief token to an eligible registered beneficiary. You can then present the token at a participating petrol station to obtain petrol with the applicable subsidy.
This digital mechanism is part of the government’s Fuel Pass System, which the Ministry of IT & Telecom is managing for delivery and verification of the relief.
Rs100 Per Litre Relief for Motorcycle Owners
Motorcycle owners are one of the main beneficiary groups under the scheme.
Official announcements provide for Rs100 relief per litre on up to 20 litres per month for eligible two- and three-wheelers.
That translates into relief worth up to Rs2,000 per month when the full 20-litre allowance is used, subject to eligibility and the implementation limits.
The ECC framework expresses the allowance as 5 litres per week at Rs100 relief per litre.
Rs100 Per Litre Relief for Rickshaw and Qingqi Users
Rickshaw and Qingqi users are also included in the scheme.
Eligible three-wheeler users fall within the Rs100-per-litre relief framework. The government says the objective is to target consumers most affected by rising petroleum prices.
Applicants should register through 9771 and wait for confirmation through the official system.
Petrol Relief for Cars Up to 800cc
Owners/users of eligible cars with engine capacity of up to 800cc are also covered.
For this category, the government has provided relief based on 30 litres per month at Rs100 per litre, with the ECC framework providing Rs1,000 relief for each ten-day period.
This means the total potential relief can reach Rs3,000 per month, subject to the scheme’s eligibility and usage conditions.
Is the PM Fuel Relief Scheme Available in Sindh?
Yes. The government has announced nationwide rollout after the initial Islamabad implementation.
The rollout covers Pakistan as well as Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Nationwide registration is open through 9771.
This means eligible residents of Sindh, including Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Larkana, Shaheed Benazirabad, Mirpurkhas and other districts, can register if they and their vehicles meet the scheme’s conditions.
When Does Petrol Relief Start Across Pakistan?
The government initially launched the scheme in Islamabad and announced nationwide implementation from the night between September 16 and September 17, 2026.
On September 15, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar was informed that nationwide rollout would begin at 11:59 p.m. on September 16, with fuel-token redemption starting at midnight.
As of September 17, 2026, the nationwide rollout date has therefore arrived.
Why Has the Government Launched the Fuel Relief Scheme?
The scheme follows a significant rise in petroleum prices amid international energy-market pressures.
On September 11, the government increased petrol by Rs3.05 per litre to Rs370.80 per litre, while high-speed diesel rose by Rs5.37 to Rs398.04 per litre.
The government subsequently announced targeted fuel relief to cushion eligible lower-income consumers from the increased cost.
Rs75 Billion Approved for PM Fuel Relief Scheme
The ECC approved Rs75 billion for the program on September 14, 2026.
The government says the digital Fuel Pass System will be used to improve transparency and ensure that the subsidy reaches eligible consumers.
The Petroleum Minister also said the government would provide Rs25 billion per month for the scheme.
Official PM Fuel Relief Website
People looking for authentic information should use the official portal rather than unverified registration links circulated on social media.
The Prime Minister’s review meeting also identified this website as the source for complete information about the subsidy scheme.
Important Warning for Applicants
Do not share your CNIC, OTP, banking password, PIN or other sensitive financial information with random WhatsApp numbers, Facebook pages or individuals claiming they can approve your subsidy.
The officially announced registration channel is 9771, while the government has identified pmfuelrelief.pk as the scheme information website.
Registration does not mean every applicant will automatically receive the subsidy; eligibility is subject to the scheme’s verification and conditions.
