September 17, 2026 (MLN): The government has made registration for the Prime Minister’s Fuel Subsidy Scheme easier by waiving the charges on SMS applications, providing additional relief to low- and middle-income citizens.

The Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif directed that the SMS required for registration under the Petrol Subsidy Scheme be made completely free of cost, according to a statement issued by the PM Office Media Wing.

The subsidy scheme covers owners of motorcycles, rickshaws and vehicles with engine capacity of up to 800cc.

The relief initiative is being implemented nationwide, including Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Eligible applicants can register by sending an SMS to 9771 in the prescribed format: REG, followed by a space, CNIC number, vehicle number plate, first letter of the province where the vehicle is registered, and the vehicle registration date.

The registration SMS, which was previously subject to charges, can now be sent without any cost.

Further information regarding the Prime Minister’s Fuel Subsidy Scheme is available on the scheme’s Urdu website at www.pmfuelrelief.pk.
