Pakistan Fuel Subsidy 2026: Rs 100 Per Litre Petrol Relief, 9771 Registration and Eligibility Check

Rising petrol prices have made the Pakistan Fuel Subsidy 2026 one of the most searched relief topics of the year. The Prime Minister’s Fuel Relief Scheme offers Rs100 per litre off petrol for eligible motorcycle, rickshaw and small-car users, managed through a digital Fuel Pass System and the 9771 SMS service. This guide explains the confirmed relief, the token system, the 9771 registration steps and the important limits readers must not confuse.

The scheme is targeted help, not a general price cut for every vehicle owner, and later updates changed some token arrangements.

What Is the Rs100 Per Litre Relief?

The relief was announced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on 13 September 2026, with further details approved by the Economic Coordination Committee on 14 September 2026. It was designed for people who depend on motorcycles, rickshaws and small cars for work, commuting and daily household needs.

• Relief rate: Rs100 per litre of petrol.
• Approved budget: Rs75 billion for the scheme, as reported from official announcements.
• Eligible vehicles: Motorcycles, rickshaws, Qingqi rickshaws and cars up to 800cc.
• Digital system: Fuel Pass System, run with the Ministry of IT and Telecommunications.
• Registration channel: SMS to 9771, reported as free of cost from 17 September 2026.

Fuel Subsidy at a Glance

How Much Relief Can You Receive?

At the original monthly limits, the maximum calculated saving was Rs2,000 for a motorcycle or three-wheeler user and Rs3,000 for an eligible car owner. Later updates described a token system instead of a single monthly quota, and the two systems must not be added together as separate benefits.

Fuel above the permitted quantity is charged at the normal price, and a token is a discount permission, not cash.

Eligibility Criteria

The scheme was initially restricted to non-commercial users, with relief limited to one vehicle per user or owner. Later announcements relaxed some requirements, including the ownership condition for motorcycle, Qingqi and rickshaw users, so people using rented vehicles were also brought into the reported arrangements, and older motorcycles and rickshaws were included in the eligible registration category.

• Motorcycle riders: Covered under the current scheme rules.
• Rickshaw and Qingqi users: Covered under the current scheme rules.
• Small-car owners or users: Cars with engines up to 800cc only.
• One vehicle rule: Relief was originally limited to one vehicle per user or owner.
• Commercial vehicles: People with commercial vehicles should check the current rules carefully, as they were outside the original targeted design.

Vehicle category alone does not prove eligibility. The government may verify vehicle information and apply the current registration, usage and other programme conditions before allowing a discount.

9771 Registration and Token Process

Registration is handled through the Fuel Pass System. The published SMS process asks for identity and vehicle details, and a separate token message is needed before each visit to a petrol station.

• Step 1: Check the latest instructions on the official Ministry of IT and Telecommunications website before registering.
• Step 2: Send your registration SMS to 9771 with your CNIC, vehicle registration number, province code and vehicle registration date, in the format published by the ministry.
• Step 3: Wait for the official reply and keep it safe.
• Step 4: Before visiting a petrol station, send TOK to 9771 to generate a fuel token.
• Step 5: Present the valid token at a participating station and ask staff to verify it through the authorised system.

Do not send identity details to unofficial phone numbers or websites claiming faster approval. The government has said it will not ask for money, a one-time password or extra information through calls or messages to release this relief.

What About the IMF Discussion?

In October 2026, media reports said the International Monetary Fund had agreed to the existing scheme continuing but opposed more beneficiaries. That does not confirm a complete cancellation, and readers should check the latest official position before assuming the scheme has ended.
