The Government of Pakistan has launched a historic relief package called the PM Petrol Subsidy Scheme 2026. This initiative is designed to protect low-income citizens from rising fuel prices. If you own a motorcycle or a rickshaw, you can now get a monthly petrol quota at a much cheaper rate.
Follow this guide to understand how the scheme works and how to register online.
Key Benefits of the Scheme
According to the official government announcement, eligible citizens will receive:
- Monthly Quota: A fixed limit of 20 liters of petrol every month.
- Huge Savings: A subsidy of Rs. 100 per liter on the current market price.
- Direct Relief: This discount is specifically for those who need it most, ensuring the money goes directly to deserving commuters.
Eligibility Criteria
To benefit from this scheme, you must meet the following requirements:
1. Vehicle Type
- Motorcycles: Owners of bikes between 70cc and 150cc are eligible.
- Rickshaws: All three-wheelers (private or commercial) qualify for the monthly quota.
- Small Cars (800cc): Cars like Suzuki Alto or Mehran are currently being reviewed for inclusion (Final decision expected by April 1st).
2. Required Documents
