How to Register for PM's Rs100/Litre Fuel Subsidy Scheme

To get the Rs100 per litre fuel discount, first send a message with the word "REG" to 9771 from the SIM registered in your own name (CNIC must match SIM details). You'll then need to provide your vehicle's number plate, the province where it's registered, and its registration date. Once registered, you'll receive a confirmation message. After that, whenever you need fuel, send "TOK" to 9771 to get a token — each token covers 5 litres for motorcycles/rickshaws (Rs500 discount) or 10 litres for eligible cars (Rs1,000 discount). Show this token at any participating pump to get your discounted fuel.

Who Qualifies

The scheme covers motorcycles, two-wheelers, three-wheelers (including Qingqi and standard rickshaws), and vehicles with engines up to 800cc. Two/three-wheelers get up to 20 litres discounted monthly; sub-800cc vehicles get up to 30 litres monthly. Wealthy vehicle owners and larger cars are deliberately excluded — this is a targeted subsidy for lower-income and salaried citizens.

Rollout Details

Federal ministers Shaza Fatima, Ali Pervaiz Malik, and Atta Tarar confirmed the scheme launches initially at 150 petrol pumps in Islamabad, expanding nationwide within a day. A dedicated call centre and monitoring system have been set up, and funds are being arranged through the State Bank and Finance Ministry so pumps aren't left waiting for reimbursement.

An Important Warning

Shaza Fatima specifically warned citizens: the government will never ask for your token number via SMS, call, or WhatsApp. Anyone doing so is a scammer — protect your token details.

The Bigger Picture

Officials say the scheme is funded through the existing Rs100 petroleum levy, redirected specifically toward vulnerable citizens rather than reduced at the pump for everyone. Ministers noted Pakistan imports roughly 90% of its energy needs, making it highly exposed to global price shocks, and said $5-6 billion in refinery investment is expected by October 1 to build longer-term resilience.
