Pakistan Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 is a targeted government initiative designed to help eligible citizens deal with higher petrol prices. The program provides fuel relief to eligible motorcycles, rickshaws, Qingqi and small-car users through a digital and SMS-based system.
The scheme is particularly important for people who depend on their vehicles for daily travel or work. According to recent government information, more than 9 million people are benefiting from the fuel relief program.
The Pakistan Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 aims to provide targeted financial relief to eligible citizens facing higher fuel costs. Under the Pakistan Fuel Relief Scheme 2026, the government has announced support for eligible motorcycles, rickshaws, and cars up to 800cc. Citizens should check the latest eligibility requirements, registration instructions, and fuel token process through official government announcements before applying.
What Is the Pakistan Fuel Relief Scheme 2026?
The Prime Minister’s Fuel Relief Scheme provides a fixed discount of Rs100 per litre to eligible users. Instead of giving a general subsidy to everyone, the government has created a targeted system linked to the citizen’s CNIC and vehicle registration.
The Economic Coordination Committee approved Rs75 billion for the scheme to provide targeted relief following the increase in petroleum prices.
Who Is Eligible for Fuel Relief?
The scheme covers specific vehicle categories.
Motorcycles, rickshaws and Qingqi vehicles registered on or after January 1, 2011 can qualify.
Cars with engine capacity up to 800cc registered on or after January 1, 2006 can also qualify.
The scheme is intended for eligible non-commercial users, with relief limited to one vehicle per user or owner.

How Much Fuel Relief Can You Get?
Eligible motorcycle and three-wheeler users can receive up to Rs2,000 in fuel relief per month.
These users receive 5-litre fuel tokens. Each litre carries Rs100 relief, meaning one token provides Rs500 in fuel relief. Eligible users can receive up to four such tokens in a month.
Owners of eligible cars up to 800cc can receive up to Rs3,000 monthly relief.
Car users receive 10-litre fuel tokens, with Rs100 relief per litre. Each token therefore provides Rs1,000 in relief, with up to three tokens available per month.
How to Register for the Fuel Relief Scheme
The government has kept registration simple through SMS so that citizens do not need a smartphone or internet connection.
Applicants can register by sending an SMS to 9771 in the following format:
REG CNIC VehicleNumber ProvinceLetter VehicleRegistrationDate
The registration SMS is now free of charge.
Citizens should make sure that the mobile SIM being used for registration is registered against the same CNIC.
For official details about the scheme, eligibility, and registration process, visit the Ministry of IT and Telecommunication.
How to Get a Fuel Token
After completing registration, eligible citizens can request a fuel token by sending:
TOK
to 9771.
The applicant receives a token number by SMS. The token can then be presented at a participating petrol station.
At the petrol station, the operator verifies the vehicle and token through the official system before applying the Rs100-per-litre relief.
How Long Are Fuel Tokens Valid?
For motorcycles and three-wheelers, a 5-litre token is valid for seven days.
For eligible cars, a 10-litre token is valid for ten days.
A new token cannot be issued while an existing token is still active.
Why Is the Fuel Relief Scheme Important?
Higher petrol prices affect more than just transportation costs. They can also increase the cost of food delivery, commuting, small businesses and other everyday services.
For motorcycle riders, rickshaw drivers and small-car owners who use their vehicles regularly, even a limited monthly fuel discount can reduce some of the pressure on household budgets.
The government has also emphasized technology and CNIC-linked verification to reduce duplicate claims and misuse.
What Should Eligible Citizens Do?
Citizens who believe they qualify should keep their CNIC, vehicle registration information and registered mobile SIM ready.
Registration is completed through 9771, while fuel tokens are also requested through the same SMS service.
Applicants should use official government information and avoid sharing their CNIC or other personal details with unofficial websites, agents or unknown individuals.
