What is the Punjab Bike Petrol Subsidy Scheme 2026?
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has formally declared a huge relief package for motorcyclists in the province. This is called the Motorcycle Petrol Subsidy Relief Package. It is made for people who use bikes every day to go to work, school, or run their small business.
The rising fuel prices in Pakistan have made daily commuting extremely expensive. As petrol prices cross Rs. 450 per litre in April 2026, the Punjab government, under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, has introduced a major relief initiative, the Bike Petrol Relief Scheme 2026.
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has unveiled a massive relief package specifically targeting the middle and lower-income segments. As of April 3, 2026, registered motorbike owners in Punjab are now eligible to receive 20 liters of petrol per month at the highly subsidized rate of Rs. 100 per liter, providing significant financial breathing room amidst a global energy crisis.
Key Benefits at a Glance
| Benefit | Details |
|---|---|
| Petrol Discount | Rs. 100 per liter every month |
| Monthly Fuel Quota | 20 liters per month |
| Monthly Saving | Over Rs. 2,000 per month |
| Cash Support | Rs. 2,000 per month (direct support) |
| Bike Registration Fees | Completely FREE now |

The discount means you pay Rs. 100 less per litre. For example, if petrol costs Rs. 450, you pay only Rs. 350.
Motorbike registration fees across Punjab have been abolished, while transfer fees have also been waived. Additionally, every registered motorbike owner will receive a monthly subsidy of Rs. 2,000.
Who Can Apply? - Eligibility Conditions
Before you apply, you must check if you meet all the rules set by the Punjab government. Here are the simple conditions:
- You must live in Punjab. Your motorcycle must be registered within the Province of Punjab. If you live in Lahore but your bike has a Sindh or Islamabad plate, you will not qualify for this specific provincial scheme.
- Bike must be in YOUR name. The motorcycle or bike must be registered in your own name.
- Engine size matters. This scheme is exclusively for motorbikes only, 70cc to 150cc.
- Your SIM must also be in YOUR name. Your SIM should be registered on your own CNIC to receive the OTP and subsidy notifications.
- You must have a valid CNIC. You must possess a valid CNIC issued by NADRA.
- One bike per person. The "One-Bike Policy" is a core part of this initiative. You must be the registered owner of exactly one motorbike.
What if My Bike is Not in My Name?
Many people in Punjab ride bikes that are still in the previous owner's name. But do not worry! The Punjab government has also announced FREE Motorbike Registration and Transfer across the province. If your bike is still in the previous owner's name, now is the time to transfer it for free to become eligible for the petrol subsidy.
The CM has announced that motorbike transfers are now free. You can visit any E-Khidmat center or Excise office to get the bike transferred to your name without paying the usual heavy fees. Once the transfer is updated in the system, you can re-apply for the subsidy.

How to Get the Petrol Discount at the Pump
After your application is approved, you will get a digital voucher or QR code on your phone. Once you are registered, the next step is actually getting the fuel. The system uses digital vouchers or QR codes.
The subsidy is valid at all major petrol pumps (PSO, Shell, Total, etc.) across Punjab that are integrated with the government's digital system. Look for the "Punjab Fuel Relief" banner at the station.
Pro tip: Before you leave home, generate your voucher and take a screenshot of the QR code. This prevents problems if your phone has low battery or poor internet at the pump.
Important Rules About Your Monthly Fuel Quota
If you do not use your 20 liters this month, in most cases, the quota does not carry over to the next month. It is a "use it or lose it" monthly benefit.
This means you should use your 20-liter quota every month so you do not waste this benefit.
More Relief from CM Maryam Nawaz - Not Just for Bikers
The Punjab government is giving more help beyond just the bike subsidy. In a sweeping administrative order, all major public transport services in Punjab including the Orange Line Metro Train, Metro Bus Service, Speedo Bus, and Green Electric Bus have been made free of charge for the public until further notice. This move is intended to reduce the reliance on private fuel consumption and ease the burden on daily wage earners.
For the agricultural sector, the government announced a diesel subsidy of Rs. 150 per litre per acre for farmers. This initiative aims to keep food production costs stable despite the rising price of high-speed diesel, which has crossed Rs. 520 per litre in the open market.

Apply at mkb.punjab.gov.pkCommon Mistakes to Avoid During Registration
- Wrong CNIC number: A single wrong digit in your CNIC or Plate number will cause a delay.
- SIM not in your name: If your SIM is not in your name, you should visit your mobile network's franchise to transfer the ownership or get a new SIM linked to your CNIC. Once the record updates, your registration on the portal should go through smoothly.
- Bike not transferred to your name: If you recently bought a used motorcycle but did not officially transfer the paperwork at the Excise office, the system still thinks the previous owner has the bike. When you try to register, the system might say you do not own a vehicle.
- Using fake websites: Only use the official portal mkb.punjab.gov.pk or call 1000.
- App crashing: If the app is giving you a hard time, the Maryam Ko Batayn Web Portal (mkb.punjab.gov.pk) is generally the better choice. Websites are built to handle more traffic than mobile apps.
