Registering for the Fuel Subsidy Scheme is now free. SMS charges for registration through 9771 have been waived, so eligible motorists can sign up for the Rs. 100 per litre petrol relief without paying anything to do so.
Here's the exact SMS format, who qualifies, and how much subsidised fuel you can get each month.
Registration SMS Is Now Free
Waiving the SMS charge sounds like a small thing, but it matters for exactly the people this scheme targets.
Motorcycle riders and rickshaw drivers are the largest eligible group, and an SMS-based system means no smartphone and no internet connection are required. A basic handset is enough and now it costs nothing to use.
How to Register Through 9771
Send an SMS to 9771 in this format:
SMS to 9771
REG [CNIC number] [vehicle number plate] [first letter of registration province] [vehicle registration date]
What Each Part Means
Your CNIC number, your vehicle number plate, the first letter of the province where the vehicle is registered, and the vehicle registration date all taken from your registration document rather than from memory.
Get the details exactly right. A mismatch between what you send and what is on record is the most likely reason a registration fails.
A Warning Worth Taking Seriously
9771 is the registration route, and it is free. Anyone asking you to pay a fee, download an app, or enter your CNIC and bank details on a website is running a scam. Government schemes involving money attract fraud within days, and this one is no exception.
Who Is Eligible for the Rs. 100 Petrol Subsidy?
Eligibility under the Fuel Subsidy Scheme is set by vehicle type:
Motorcycles and other two-wheelers the largest group by far, and the households where a fuel increase takes the biggest share of income.
Rickshaws and three-wheelers where fuel is a direct business cost rather than a household expense.
Cars up to 800cc the entry end of the car market. Check the engine capacity on your registration document rather than going by the model name if you are near the limit.
How Much Subsidised Petrol Can You Get?
| Vehicle | Monthly Limit | Relief |
|---|---|---|
| Two- and three-wheelers | 20 litres | Rs. 2,000 |
| Cars up to 800cc | 30 litres | Rs. 3,000 |
The relief is a fixed Rs. 100 per litre, not a percentage so if pump prices rise further, the amount stays the same while covering a smaller share of your bill. Our coverage of the Rs. 100 per litre petrol relief covers the scheme in more detail.
Now Available Nationwide
The scheme has been extended nationwide, so eligible motorists across the country can register rather than only those in selected areas.
One practical note: registering makes you eligible, but confirm with your local petrol station whether it is applying the subsidy before planning around the discount. Coverage at station level can lag behind a national rollout.
Final Thoughts
With SMS charges waived, registering for the Fuel Subsidy Scheme now costs nothing send the REG format to 9771 with your CNIC, number plate, province letter and registration date. Eligible motorcycles and rickshaws get Rs. 100 per litre on up to 20 litres a month, and cars up to 800cc on up to 30 litres. Take the details straight from your registration document so the entry matches, and ignore anything asking for a fee or your bank details. The only thing you need to send is one free SMS.
