In a landmark move to shield the common man from skyrocketing global fuel prices, the Punjab Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has officially launched the “Punjab Big Relief Package” (Bara Relief Package). Starting April 4, 2026, registered motorcycle owners across the province can avail a massive subsidy on petrol, bringing much-needed financial breathing room to millions of households.
This guide provides everything you need to know about eligibility, the registration process via the “Maryam Ko Batain” app, and how to claim your discount at the pump.
Overview of the Punjab Petrol Subsidy Scheme 2026
As of April 2026, petrol prices in Pakistan have reached historic highs, with federal rates hovering around Rs. 458.41 per liter. To mitigate this impact, the Punjab provincial government is offering a targeted subsidy of Rs. 100 per liter for up to 20 liters of petrol per month for every registered bike owner.
Key Highlights of the Package:
- Subsidy Amount: Rs. 100 per liter.
- Monthly Limit: 20 Liters per registered motorcycle.
- Total Monthly Savings: Rs. 2,000 per biker.
- Start Date: April 4, 2026.
- Additional Benefit: No charges on the registration or transfer of motorbikes in Punjab during this period.
Eligibility Criteria: Who Can Apply?
To ensure the relief reaches those who need it most, the government has set specific eligibility markers:
- Residency: You must be a permanent resident of Punjab (verified via CNIC).
- Vehicle Registration: The motorcycle must be registered with the Punjab Excise and Taxation Department.
- Ownership: The subsidy is tied to the registered owner. If you haven’t transferred a bike to your name yet, the government has waived transfer fees to encourage legal ownership.
- Socio-Economic Status: Verification is often cross-referenced with the Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER).
Step-by-Step Registration: How to Apply
The government has introduced three seamless ways to register for the petrol subsidy. Whether you are tech-savvy or prefer a simple phone call, there is an option for you.
