The PM Rs100 Petrol Relief scheme is now live in Pakistan, offering eligible motorcycle, rickshaw, Qingqi, and small-car owners a Rs100 discount on every litre of petrol, up to a fixed monthly limit. Announced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on September 13, 2026, the programme is being implemented through a digital registration and verification system built around the short code 9771.
Unlike a blanket reduction in petrol prices, the PM Rs100 Petrol Relief scheme is a targeted subsidy. It applies only to specific vehicle categories, within a fixed monthly quota, and after the vehicle owner completes SMS-based registration and obtains a fuel token.
This guide explains who qualifies, how to register, how the fuel token works, what happens at participating petrol stations, the rollout schedule, and the most common misunderstandings about the scheme.
Why the Government Introduced PM Rs100 Petrol Relief
Petrol prices in Pakistan have come under renewed pressure following changes in global crude oil prices and concerns about supply disruptions. Rising fuel costs can have a direct effect on households that depend heavily on motorcycles, rickshaws and small vehicles for commuting and daily work.
The government has therefore introduced PM Rs100 Petrol Relief as a targeted measure rather than applying a broad subsidy to every vehicle owner. The structure is intended to focus fuel assistance on smaller vehicles and households that are more sensitive to changes in petrol prices.
The programme uses digital verification involving government records and telecom information to establish the eligibility of applicants and monitor their monthly fuel allowance.
What Is the PM Rs100 Petrol Relief Scheme?
At its core, PM Rs100 Petrol Relief allows an eligible vehicle owner to register their CNIC and vehicle information through SMS. After successful verification, the registered user can request a digital fuel token before purchasing petrol.
The token is then presented at a participating petrol station, where the system checks the user’s eligibility and remaining monthly quota. The applicable Rs100-per-litre relief is then deducted from the petrol price within the permitted limit.
The scheme is not an unlimited petrol subsidy. Once an applicant reaches their monthly quota, additional fuel purchases are charged at the prevailing market price.
Who Is Eligible for PM Rs100 Petrol Relief?
The currently announced vehicle categories include:
- Motorcycles
- Rickshaws
- Qingqi or Chingchi rickshaws
- Cars and other vehicles with engine capacity up to 800cc
Vehicles above the stated engine-capacity limit, including larger cars and SUVs, are not included under the announced eligibility criteria.
Monthly Fuel Quota and Maximum Savings
| Vehicle Category | Monthly Quota | Discount Per Litre | Maximum Monthly Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motorcycle | 20 litres | Rs100 | Rs2,000 |
| Rickshaw / Qingqi | 20 litres | Rs100 | Rs2,000 |
| Car up to 800cc | 30 litres | Rs100 | Rs3,000 |
The discount applies only to petrol purchased within the relevant monthly quota.
For example, if a motorcycle owner purchases 50 litres during a month, the Rs100 relief applies only to the first 20 litres. The remaining 30 litres are purchased at the regular applicable petrol price.
How Much Can You Save Under PM Rs100 Petrol Relief?
The value of the subsidy depends on the prevailing petrol price because the government relief is fixed at Rs100 per litre.
Using a petrol price of Rs370.80 per litre as the example:
Regular petrol price: Rs370.80 per litre
Government relief: Rs100 per litre
Effective price: Rs270.80 per litre
A motorcycle or rickshaw owner using the complete 20-litre monthly allowance could receive up to Rs2,000 in monthly relief.
For an eligible vehicle up to 800cc using the full 30-litre quota, the maximum monthly relief would be Rs3,000.
If the market price of petrol changes, the final amount paid per litre will also change. The Rs100 relief itself remains the fixed component of the scheme.
How to Register for PM Rs100 Petrol Relief
The registration process is based on SMS and requires accurate information about the applicant and vehicle.
Step 1: Send the Registration SMS to 9771
Eligible applicants need to send an SMS to 9771 using the required format:
REG CNIC VehicleNumber ProvinceCode RegistrationDate
The information should match the applicant’s official records.
Keep the following points in mind:
- Use a SIM registered in the applicant’s own name.
- Enter the CNIC number without unnecessary spaces or dashes if required by the registration format.
- Enter the vehicle number according to the required SMS format.
- Use the vehicle’s official registration date.
- Enter the registration date in DDMMYYYY format.
For example, a vehicle registered on September 5, 2020 would use:
05092020
Using incorrect or outdated vehicle information can result in verification failure.
Step 2: Wait for Registration Confirmation
After the SMS is submitted, the system verifies the information against relevant government and vehicle-registration records.
If the information matches, the applicant receives a confirmation message.
If there is a mismatch, the system may return an error or request that the information be corrected before registration can be completed.
Registration is intended as a one-time process. Once successfully registered, applicants do not need to repeat the registration every time they purchase petrol.
Step 3: Request a Fuel Token
After registration, the applicant can request a fuel token by sending:
TOK
to 9771.
The system then sends the fuel token by SMS. This token is required when claiming the subsidised petrol at a participating petrol station.
Step 4: Present the Token at the Petrol Station
At a participating petrol pump, the applicant presents the received token to the attendant.
The system checks:
- Token validity
- Applicant eligibility
- Remaining monthly quota
- Petrol quantity being purchased
If everything is valid, the applicable Rs100-per-litre relief is applied within the remaining monthly allowance.
How the Verification System Works
The digital verification process is designed to reduce duplicate registrations and prevent misuse of the subsidy.
The system can verify information such as:
- CNIC details: To establish the identity of the applicant.
- Vehicle registration: To confirm the vehicle and its registration information.
- SIM ownership: To verify that the registration SMS is being sent from the applicant’s registered mobile connection.
- Fuel usage: To monitor how much of the monthly quota has already been used.
For applicants, the most important point is consistency. Your CNIC, SIM information and vehicle registration details should match the official records.
Province Codes for SMS Registration
Applicants may need to provide the relevant province or administrative-area code in their registration SMS.
| Area | Code |
|---|---|
| Islamabad | I |
| Azad Jammu & Kashmir | A |
| Gilgit-Baltistan | G |
| Sindh | S |
| Punjab | P |
| Khyber Pakhtunkhwa | K |
| Balochistan | B |
Before sending the SMS, applicants should use the code applicable to their vehicle registration information and follow the latest official instructions.
PM Rs100 Petrol Relief Rollout Timeline
The programme is being activated in phases rather than becoming available at every petrol station simultaneously.
Islamabad
The scheme is scheduled to become active from the night between September 14 and September 15, 2026.
Rest of Pakistan
The wider rollout, including Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, is scheduled from the night between September 16 and September 17, 2026.
This phased approach means applicants outside Islamabad may be able to complete registration before fuel-pump level implementation becomes active in their area.
How This Scheme Differs From Earlier Fuel Relief
Pakistan previously introduced a separate fuel subsidy programme for motorcycle users earlier in 2026. That programme was later discontinued.
The September initiative uses a more targeted approach, with eligibility linked to vehicle categories and a defined monthly fuel quota. The use of SMS registration, digital tokens and record verification is intended to make the distribution more controlled.
Rather than providing unlimited assistance, PM Rs100 Petrol Relief limits the subsidy according to the vehicle category.
Common Misunderstandings About the Scheme
“Petrol Will Cost Only Rs100 Per Litre”
Incorrect.
The Rs100 figure represents the discount per litre, not the total price of petrol.
For example, if petrol is priced at Rs370.80 per litre, a qualifying purchase within the subsidy quota would effectively receive a Rs100 reduction.
“Everyone Gets Unlimited Discounted Petrol”
Incorrect.
Each eligible vehicle category has a monthly quota.
Motorcycles, rickshaws and Qingqi vehicles have a 20-litre monthly allowance, while eligible vehicles up to 800cc have a 30-litre allowance.
“The Government Is Giving Cash”
Incorrect.
The relief is provided through a reduction in the applicable petrol price. It is not a direct cash payment to the applicant.
“Every Vehicle Is Eligible”
Incorrect.
The announced scheme is focused on motorcycles, rickshaws, Qingqis and vehicles up to 800cc.
Important Things to Check Before Registration
Before sending your SMS to 9771, make sure:
- Your CNIC information is correct.
- Your SIM is registered in your own name.
- Your vehicle registration details are accurate.
- Your vehicle registration date is entered correctly.
- Your province or administrative-area code is correct.
- You follow the required SMS format.
- You keep the registration confirmation message.
- You request a fuel token before using the subsidy at a participating petrol station.
Small differences between the information submitted through SMS and official records can create verification problems.
