PM Fuel Relief Scheme: Get Rs100 Off Per Litre

PM fuel relief scheme is a government plan that gives petrol at Rs100 per litre less to owners of small vehicles. It covers motorcycles, rickshaws and other two or three wheeled vehicles, and cars up to 800cc. The idea is simple: register once by SMS, then get a token before every visit to a petrol pump, and pay less at the pump. This guide explains who can apply, how to register, how the token works, and what to do if something goes wrong.

The relief under the PM fuel relief scheme is worth real money. A motorcycle or rickshaw gets up to Rs500 relief per token, and up to four tokens a month. A car gets 10 litres per token, which is worth Rs1,000. The discount is Rs100 per litre on the rate of the day, so what you pay changes when the petrol price changes. The price itself is not fixed. What is fixed is the Rs100 per litre discount on the day you use the token.

PM Fuel Relief Scheme: Who Can Apply

To check if you qualify for the PM fuel relief scheme, keep these rules in mind. A two or three wheeled vehicle must be registered on or after 1 January 2006, and it does not need to be in your name. A car up to 800cc must also be registered on or after 1 January 2006, and it must be in your own name. Vehicles above 800cc are not eligible, and neither are vehicles registered before the cut-off date. You also cannot apply from a SIM that is registered on someone else's CNIC. Note that the website's old FAQ still says 2011, but the federal IT minister confirmed 2006 on 20 September 2026.

Before you register for the PM fuel relief scheme, keep four things ready. You need your 13-digit CNIC number, a mobile SIM registered on that same CNIC, the vehicle registration number with no dashes or spaces, and the registration date from the registration book. If any of these is wrong, the registration will fail. The SIM is the most common problem, because many people use a SIM that is registered on a family member's CNIC. Check this first, because the system will only accept a SIM that matches your own CNIC.

PM Fuel Relief Scheme: How to Register

To register, write a message with one space between each part. Type REG, then your CNIC number, then the vehicle number without dashes or spaces, then the province code, then the registration date. The province code is the first letter of where the vehicle is registered: I for Islamabad, A for Azad Kashmir, G for Gilgit-Baltistan, S for Sindh, P for Punjab, K for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and B for Balochistan. Write the date in DDMMYYYY, which is 8 digits with no spaces, for example 02092026 for 2 September 2026, not 02SEP2026. Send the message to 9771 and wait for the confirmation SMS. Registration happens only once.

The registration SMS is free. The Prime Minister's Office removed the charge on 17 September 2026, although the website still says Rs1.25 plus tax. Once you are registered in the PM fuel relief scheme, send TOK to 9771 before you go to the pump. The reply gives your token number. Show the token to the pump representative, who enters the vehicle number and token number in the app to verify it. Then you pay Rs100 per litre less than the day's rate. Use the full quota in a single transaction, and a confirmation SMS comes afterwards.

A token under the PM fuel relief scheme has limits, so plan around them. While one token is active you cannot get a new one. A motorcycle or rickshaw gets one token a week, and a car gets one token in 10 days. A token lasts 7 days for a motorcycle or rickshaw and 10 days for a car, and if it is not used it expires. The token is tied to the vehicle number and cannot be used for another vehicle. For a car, the owner must be present at the pump. For a motorcycle or rickshaw, the owner does not need to be present.

The government removed the 5-litre token cap under the PM fuel relief scheme on 20 September 2026, although the website still says a 5-litre token. The scheme stays in force for the announced period, and no end date is listed on the page. Per the website, registration will continue, and a token will come after the facility becomes active in your area. So if you live in an area where the facility is not active yet, register anyway and wait for the token to come.

If your PM fuel relief scheme registration fails, check four things. Make sure the SMS went from the SIM registered on the same CNIC, the vehicle number has no dashes or spaces, the province code and the 8-digit date are correct, and the vehicle was registered after the cut-off date. If a token does not come, or you have a complaint about a pump, call 9771 from any network. The helpline works seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Petrol pump owners should call 9772.
