PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026: Eligibility, Documents and Registration Guide

The PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 is the government’s answer to rising petrol prices for people who depend on a bike, rickshaw or small car every day. If you have been searching for “petrol subsidy Pakistan 2026”, this guide covers eligibility, documents and the full registration process in plain language.

What Is the PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026?

The scheme is part of the Prime Minister’s Special Package. It gives eligible vehicle owners a discount of Rs100 per litre on petrol at participating pumps.

Everything runs through SMS on a simple mobile phone, so you don’t need a smartphone or an app. According to the official Khanewal district page, the relief is available at registered fuel stations across the district, and participating pumps are listed tehsil by tehsil.

How Much Relief Do You Get Under the PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026?

Under the latest rules, the relief is given as tokens:

The earlier rule of buying 5 litres in one go for a bike token has been removed. You can now use the token on a smaller purchase, which suits riders who fill up one or two litres at a time.

Who Is Eligible?

The following vehicles qualify:

• Motorcycles
• Auto-rickshaws and Qingqi rickshaws
• Cars with engines up to 800cc

A few conditions matter:

• Two- and three-wheelers registered from 1 January 2006 onwards are now covered.
• One CNIC can register one vehicle only.
• The scheme covers petrol only, not diesel.
• The vehicle must be in the provincial Excise Department’s records. This is why some unregistered rickshaw and loader owners are still facing problems.
• Ownership in your own name is not strictly required. If you hold the vehicle’s documents and have custody of it, you can apply, but verification still applies.

Documents You Need

Keep these ready before you send your SMS:

• Your CNIC number
• A SIM registered in your own name
• The vehicle’s registration number
• The vehicle’s registration date, which is printed on the registration book or smart card
• Your province code

The registration date must match Excise records exactly. A wrong date is one of the most common reasons for rejection.

PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 Registration: Step by Step

Step 1: Open the messaging app on your registered SIM.

Step 2: Type your message in this format:

REG CNIC VehicleNumber ProvinceCode DDMMYYYY

Write the CNIC and vehicle number without dashes, and enter the date as DDMMYYYY (for example, 03122010).

Step 3: Send it to 9771. The registration SMS is now free of charge.

Step 4: Wait for the confirmation SMS after verification. If nothing arrives within 24 hours, send the message again.

Step 5: Before going to the pump, send TOK to 9771 to receive your fuel token.

You only register once. After that, you just send TOK whenever a new token is due.

How to Use Your Token (Khanewal Petrol Pumps)

Show the token SMS to the pump attendant and get your discount. The Khanewal district website advises carrying your CNIC when you refuel.

It also publishes separate PDF lists of participating pumps for Tehsil Khanewal, Kabirwala, Mian Channu and Jahanian. Check the list for your tehsil so you don’t waste a trip.

What to Do If Your Registration Is Rejected

Don’t panic, and don’t keep resubmitting different details. Compare what you entered with your original documents:

• CNIC number
• Vehicle registration number
• Province code
• Vehicle registration date

Repeated wrong attempts can complicate verification. The government has also set up a 24-hour control room, and a dedicated complaint portal for registration and token issues has been directed.

Beware of Fake Agents

Any scheme that involves CNIC details attracts scammers. Remember:

• Never pay anyone for registration, tokens or information
• Never share OTPs or banking passwords
• Ignore anyone who “guarantees” approval

Use only 9771 and official government channels.
