Rs100 Petrol Subsidy 2026: Official 9771 Registration Guide

The Rs100 Petrol Subsidy 2026 has been launched to provide fuel relief to eligible motorcycle, rickshaw, Qingqi and small-car users across Pakistan.

Under the Prime Minister’s Fuel Relief Scheme, eligible consumers can get petrol at a relief of Rs100 per litre within a fixed monthly limit. Registration is carried out through SMS on 9771, while registered users need to generate a fuel token before buying subsidised petrol.

The scheme has now moved beyond its initial Islamabad rollout, with nationwide token generation and redemption scheduled from midnight between September 16 and 17, 2026.

Here’s how the scheme works, who qualifies and how you can register.

Rs100 Petrol Subsidy 2026 at a Glance

The fuel relief programme offers different monthly limits depending on the type of vehicle.

The relief doesn't mean petrol has a fixed price of Rs100 per litre. Instead, Rs100 is deducted from the applicable petrol price for each eligible litre.

Who Is Eligible for Rs100 Petrol Subsidy?

The scheme primarily covers people using smaller vehicles.

Eligible categories include motorcycles, rickshaws, Qingqi rickshaws, other qualifying two- and three-wheelers, and cars with an engine capacity of up to 800cc.

For motorcycles and three-wheelers, the government has allowed users to apply rather than restricting registration only to the registered owner. This is important for vehicles being used through open transfer letters and similar arrangements.

For cars, however, the applicant must be the registered owner of the vehicle.

According to the Finance Division, the scheme is for non-commercial users and relief is restricted to one vehicle per user/owner.

How to Register for Rs100 Petrol Subsidy Through 9771

Registration can be completed from a mobile phone. You don't need to visit a government office just to submit the initial registration.

Send an SMS to 9771 containing your CNIC, vehicle registration number, province and vehicle registration date.

Use this format:

REG CNIC VehicleNumber ProvinceCode RegistrationDate

For example:

REG 3520212345678 ABC123 P 15032024

The example above is only to explain the SMS format. Use your own correct CNIC and vehicle information when registering.

The registration date should be entered in DDMMYYYY format.

Province Codes for 9771 Registration

Use the code corresponding to the province or territory where your vehicle is registered:

Make sure you enter the province where the vehicle is registered, not simply where you currently live.

What Do You Need for Registration?

Before sending the registration SMS, keep your CNIC, vehicle registration number and vehicle registration date ready.

The SIM being used for registration should be registered against the applicant's CNIC. The submitted details are checked against the relevant official records.

Incorrect information can therefore prevent successful registration.

How to Get a Petrol Subsidy Token

Registration alone isn't enough to receive subsidised fuel.

Once your registration has been approved, send:

TOK

to 9771 before going to the petrol station.

You will receive a token number through SMS. Present this token at the filling station so it can be verified before the subsidy is applied.

How Much Petrol Can You Get With One Token?

Motorcycle and three-wheeler users can receive a token covering 5 litres at a time.

At Rs100 relief per litre, this means a discount of up to Rs500 per token.

Eligible car owners can receive a token covering 10 litres, giving a discount of up to Rs1,000 per token.

According to the Ministry of IT and Telecommunication, a motorcycle or three-wheeler token remains valid for seven days, while a car token is valid for 10 days.

Your overall monthly entitlement still remains 20 litres for eligible two- and three-wheelers and 30 litres for cars up to 800cc.

When Does the Fuel Relief Scheme Start?

Registration has opened nationwide.

The programme initially became operational for token generation and redemption in Islamabad from midnight between September 14 and 15, 2026.

Nationwide token generation and redemption, including Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, is being rolled out from midnight between September 16 and 17, 2026.

Which Cars Qualify for the Petrol Subsidy?

The key requirement for cars is an engine capacity of up to 800cc, along with the other eligibility and registration conditions.

This means small cars that fall within the engine-capacity limit may qualify.

Don't rely only on a car's model name, however. Check the engine capacity and registration information recorded against your particular vehicle.

Can Suzuki Alto Owners Get the Rs100 Petrol Subsidy?

Eligibility depends on the engine capacity and official registration record of the vehicle.

Some Suzuki Alto variants fall within the government's up to 800cc category, while others may not. Owners should therefore check their specific vehicle's registered engine capacity instead of assuming every Alto automatically qualifies.

The same principle applies to other vehicle models.

Is Suzuki Mehran Eligible?

Suzuki Mehran has been cited among the small cars covered by the programme. However, the vehicle still needs to satisfy the scheme's registration and ownership requirements.

Eligible cars can receive relief on up to 30 litres per month, equal to a maximum monthly benefit of Rs3,000 at Rs100 per litre.

How Much Can You Save Each Month?

For a motorcycle or eligible three-wheeler, the calculation is:

20 litres × Rs100 = Rs2,000 maximum monthly relief

For an eligible car:

30 litres × Rs100 = Rs3,000 maximum monthly relief

The actual benefit depends on how much of your eligible quota you use.

Important Warning About Fake Petrol Subsidy Messages

Applicants should be careful about scams related to the new scheme.

The government has warned that beneficiaries will not be contacted to demand payments, OTPs, secret codes or additional information through suspicious calls, WhatsApp messages or unofficial SMS messages.

Never post your CNIC number, mobile number, vehicle details or token publicly on social media or in website comment sections.

Registration is carried out through the official 9771 SMS process.

What If Your Registration Isn't Working?

First, check that the CNIC number and vehicle registration details have been entered correctly.

Also confirm that you're using the correct province for the vehicle registration and that the registration date matches the vehicle record.

The SIM/CNIC requirement can also cause a problem if the mobile number being used isn't registered against the relevant CNIC.

Because information is verified against official records, even a small mismatch may result in registration not being completed successfully.
