How do I apply for the Punjab petrol subsidy?
Through three official channels: call helpline 1000, visit mkb.punjab.gov.pk, or download the Maryam Ko Batayen (MKB) App from your app store. Registration opened April 4, 2026.
Is the 786 or 9771 SMS method real?
No. These SMS numbers are circulating on unofficial websites and are not confirmed by the Punjab government. Do not send your CNIC to unknown numbers — it could be a scam. Use only the three official channels above.
Who qualifies for this subsidy?
Registered motorcycle owners in Punjab with a household income below Rs. 60,000/month, a valid CNIC in their own name, and their bike registered in their name.
How much will I save?
Rs. 100 per litre on up to 20 litres per month — a maximum saving of Rs. 2,000/month compared to the current market price of Rs. 458.40/litre.
What if my bike is not registered in my name?
You need to transfer it to your name via the Excise Department. The Punjab government has waived all motorcycle registration and transfer fees, so this can be done at no cost right now.
Is registration free?
Yes. Registration is completely free through all official channels. Never pay any agent or third party claiming to register you for a fee.
Is this scheme available outside Punjab?
This specific scheme is for Punjab province only. The Sindh government has separately announced its own Rs. 2,000 monthly cash subsidy for motorcyclists. A federal scheme for all provinces is still being planned.
When will I start receiving the subsidy?
After successful registration and verification, rollout will happen in phases. The system launched April 4, 2026. Check your status at mkb.punjab.gov.pk.
