Maryam Ko Batayen — Punjab Fuel Relief 2026
For help, call 1000 or visit mkb.punjab.gov.pk
So if you ride a motorcycle somewhere in Punjab, you’ve probably seen people sharing about this petrol subsidy thing going around under Maryam Ko Batayen. Honestly it’s one of those schemes that actually sounds too good but turns out it’s legit — 20 liters every month at Rs. 100 a liter. Given the state of fuel prices right now, that matters a lot for people commuting daily.
This page breaks down who can actually get it, what you need before applying, and how the whole process works without any back and forth.
What Exactly Is This Subsidy?
Under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s relief initiative, motorcycle riders across Punjab are getting monthly subsidized petrol. The whole thing came out of the Maryam Ko Batayen platform — basically a channel where Punjab citizens can flag problems or ask for government help directly. The petrol scheme is one of the bigger benefits being pushed through it right now.
What makes it different from older subsidy programs is that it skips the middleman entirely. The quota gets tied to your personal CNIC and your bike’s registration. Once that’s verified and approved, you just walk into a designated petrol station and claim your monthly liters. No forms to carry, no dealer to deal with.
Who Actually Qualifies?
A few things have to line up on your end before they approve anything.
First, your CNIC has to be Punjab-based and active on NADRA. The bike also needs to be under your own name — borrowed or family-owned vehicles registered under someone else just don’t make it past the system. Simple as that. Income-wise, the scheme is aimed at lower to middle income households, so if you’re running a business with a fleet of bikes it probably isn’t meant for you. Also worth knowing — only one application goes through per CNIC, so there’s no point trying twice with different numbers.
To sum it up quickly:
- Punjab domicile with valid NADRA CNIC
- Motorcycle registered in Punjab under your name
- Single application per CNIC only
- Income within lower to middle bracket
How to Apply — Plain and Simple
Scroll down to the form on this page. Your CNIC goes in first — all 13 digits, no dashes needed. After that just put in whatever’s printed on your bike’s registration papers for the vehicle number. You’ll then see a captcha showing some numbers — type those in exactly. Hit the apply button and you’re done.
After submitting, a reference number shows up on screen. Screenshot it or write it down somewhere. Usually within 48 hours your registered phone number gets a message. It’ll say whether things went through fine or if there’s something off that needs sorting.
What Do You Actually Get?
Every month once approved — 20 liters of petrol at Rs. 100 per liter. At what pumps are charging right now that works out to savings of well over Rs. 2,000 every single month. The benefit doesn’t land in your bank account as cash. It’s a fuel quota attached to your CNIC that you redeem at specific petrol stations participating in the scheme.
A Few Things People Keep Asking
Bike’s not under your name — can you still apply?
Short answer, no. They cross-check CNIC against vehicle ownership. So unless the registration matches your ID, it gets filtered out during verification. You’d need to get the transfer sorted first and then come back and apply.
What about cars — do they count?
No. This one is motorcycles only. Cars, rickshaws, and other vehicles aren’t part of this particular program.
Applied a few days back and still no SMS. What now?
Call 1000 — it’s free and runs all day. You can also head to mkb.punjab.gov.pk and check your application status using your CNIC directly.
My bike is registered in another city outside Punjab. Does that disqualify me?
Yes it does. The vehicle registration needs to show Punjab for it to qualify under this scheme. Out-of-province registrations won’t go through.
Is there a last date to apply?
No fixed deadline has been announced yet but these windows don’t stay open indefinitely. If you’re eligible it makes more sense to apply now rather than wait around and miss it.
Apply Using the Form Below
The registration form is just below this section. Before hitting submit, double check your CNIC digits and make sure the vehicle number matches your registration papers exactly. Wrong information means your application gets rejected at the verification stage and you’ll have to start the whole thing over again.
Need Help With Anything?
Call 1000 — free, available around the clock. If you’d rather sort it face to face, walk into any Punjab Service Center with your CNIC and they’ll guide you through it. The official site is mkb.punjab.gov.pk where you can also track your application status after submitting.
