Can I register online?

No online registration form has been announced for the PM Fuel Relief Scheme. Register by SMS to 9771. The government also published scheme information at pmfuelrelief.pk, but its announced registration method is SMS. Do not enter your CNIC or pay a fee on a site claiming to register you.

Before you send the SMS

Have your 13-digit CNIC, vehicle registration number, the first letter of the province where the vehicle is registered, and the vehicle registration date ready. Send the message from a SIM registered against your own CNIC. Check the vehicle number and date against its registration record before sending.

The scheme covers motorcycles, rickshaws and Qingqis registered from 1 January 2006, and cars up to 800cc. The government removed the vehicle ownership condition for motorcycle and rickshaw users, including users of rented vehicles. Check the full PM Fuel Relief scheme page for the current eligibility details.

Register by SMS

  1. Open a new text message on the SIM registered to your CNIC.
  2. Type REG, a space, your CNIC without dashes, a space, your vehicle number without spaces, a space, the first letter of the province where the vehicle is registered, a space, and its registration date in DDMMYYYY order. The format is REG CNIC VehicleNumber ProvinceLetter DDMMYYYY.
  3. Send the message to 9771. The registration SMS is free.
  4. Keep the reply. Registration is a one-time step; you request a separate token when you need fuel.

Use the registration date recorded by your vehicle's excise department. If your message is rejected, check each field and that the SIM is registered to the CNIC you sent. Do not send your CNIC to an unverified number or website.

Get and use a fuel token

  1. Before going to a petrol station, text TOK to 9771 from your registered SIM.
  2. Show the token message at a participating petrol station when you fill up. The station applies the relief to your fuel purchase.
  3. Request the next token when the scheme allows it. Do not share your token publicly.

Motorcycle, rickshaw and Qingqi users can receive one Rs 500 token each week, up to four per month. There is no five-litre minimum purchase. Eligible cars up to 800cc receive Rs 100 per litre on up to 10 litres every 10 days, up to three tokens a month. These rules reflect the government's September 2026 changes.

If registration or the token does not work

First check the SMS format, vehicle registration details and the CNIC linked to your SIM. If registration succeeds but a pump cannot redeem the token, keep the SMS and ask the station to verify it. The government has also arranged SMS redemption for stations without internet access. You can ask at a local registration facilitation camp for help with the process.

Checked 3 November 2026. Government reports confirm SMS registration and the revised token rules; check for a newer official notice before relying on the scheme's availability or benefit amounts.
