Petrol Subsidy Punjab 2026: 9771 Code P vs Maryam Scheme
Updated 23 September 2026: older bikes now qualify, bike tokens have no 5-litre limit, and every SMS is free. In September 2026 the live path is federal 9771 with province code P. The Maryam Nawaz package from April sits on 1000 and mkb.punjab.gov.pk. Mix those doors and your SMS will fail. Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, and Gujranwala have been live since the nationwide pump night, 16–17 September. The next block shows both schemes side by side.
Who can use petrol subsidy Punjab now
Punjab riders join the federal Fuel Pass first. Fit the vehicle list. Then pass the plate test. Do not paste April Maryam rules onto 9771. You can get details about petrol subsidy for old bike.
Federal rules that apply in Punjab
The live scheme covers motorcycles, rickshaws, Qingqis, Chingchis, and other two- and three-wheelers. Cars up to 800cc also qualify. Bikes, rickshaws, and Qingqis registered on or after 1 January 2006 qualify. The government moved this cut-off back from 2011 on 19 September 2026.
The Punjab plate test
Send code P only if Punjab Excise issued the plate. You may live in Lahore and still hold a Sindh file. That plate takes S, not P. The same number can exist in two provinces. The Fuel Pass checks the Excise office, not your current house.
April Maryam rules (do not paste onto 9771)
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz opened a provincial bike package in April 2026. Blogs from that month mixed extra filters: bike in your name, Punjab registration only, one bike, and a 70cc or 150cc cap. Those notes conflict. Treat them as an unverified mix. Do not add them to a September REG text.
For that April door only, use official Punjab channels: helpline 1000, Maryam Ko Batayn, or mkb.punjab.gov.pk. The next section shows the live Punjab SMS with code P.
How Punjab registers on 9771 (code P)
Petrol subsidy Punjab uses one free SMS. You send it to 9771. You put P in the message only when Punjab Excise owns the file.
Before you text
Use the SIM that PTA tied to your CNIC. A brother’s phone will fail.
Keep the plate in front of you. Keep the Punjab registration date. Copy both from the smart card or book. Guessed dates fail as often as the wrong letter.
REG format for Punjab
Send this line to 9771:
- text
- REG [CNIC] [Plate] P [Date]
- Strip dashes from the CNIC. Strip spaces from the plate.
- Example only. Do not copy these numbers:
- text
- REG 3520212345671 LHR1234 P 15082020
- That P means Punjab Excise. It does not mean “I live in Lahore.”
Date format
Try the date as DDMMYYYY first. If 9771 rejects it, send DD/MM/YYYY.
Success
One confirmation SMS means Punjab registration is done. Do not send REG again. Send TOK when you need fuel.
If the text fails, fix the letter or the date. Then send one clean REG. Next you will see how TOK works at Lahore and Multan pumps.
TOK at Punjab pumps
Registration only puts you on the list. The TOK SMS unlocks your discount at a Punjab pump.
Send TOK to 9771 before you leave home. Wait for the token. Then ride. A code you request at the nozzle can lag.
A bike, rickshaw, Qingqi, or Chingchi gets a Rs 500 token once a week, four a month. The old 5-litre limit is gone, so buy any amount. A car up to 800cc gets a 10-litre token. That slice saves Rs 1,000. You can draw it about every 10 days.
Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, and Gujranwala went live on the nationwide night, 16–17 September 2026. Tokens now clear at Punjab pumps.
Two- and three-wheelers stop at four Rs 500 tokens a month. Cars up to 800cc stop at 30 litres. Extra car litres take the full board price.
Show the SMS. Check the discount: Rs 500 off for bikes, Rs 100 a litre for cars. Keep the token until the receipt prints. The next box lists Punjab cities and that date in one place.
Punjab city and date box
Islamabad switched on first, at midnight 14–15 September 2026.
Petrol subsidy Lahore start date was midnight 16–17 September 2026. The same night covered Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, Gujranwala, Sialkot, and Bahawalpur. That is the answer to پنجاب میں کب سے.
The scheme is now live across Punjab. Send REG with code P any time. Send TOK before each fill.
If your plate is Punjab but you fill in another province, the token still works. The letter P tracks the Excise file, not the pump city.
Next comes the April Maryam package, dated so you do not mix it with this calendar.
Maryam Nawaz April package (April 2026)
This block is the provincial package. It is not the September 9771 token how-to. Read it only if you still chase the April Maryam door.
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz announced the Punjab bike relief on 3 April 2026. Applications were set to start 4 April. She offered 20 litres a month at Rs 100 off. She also waived motorcycle registration and transfer fees in Punjab.
Apply on those April channels only: call 1000, open the Maryam Ko Batayn app, or use mkb.punjab.gov.pk. Do not type an mkb password into an SMS. Do not send a 1000 complaint ID to 9771. Those systems do not talk to each other.
Blogs from April mixed extra filters. Treat that checklist as dated. Confirm any leftover April claim on the official Punjab portal, not on a forwarded WhatsApp card.
For the Prime Minister’s national package, open PM petrol subsidy registration. For the long REG repair list, open petrol subsidy registration.
Free bike transfer in Punjab
In April 2026 the Punjab government waived motorcycle registration and transfer fees. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz tied that waiver to the provincial relief package. The desk is Punjab Excise, not 9771.
A clean file still helps. The Fuel Pass matches your plate and date against Excise. An old owner name can break that match on a car. A bike, rickshaw, or Qingqi can pass without your name if you hold the papers and custody. A tidy Punjab record still saves a failed REG.
Take the smart card, CNIC, and bike to the local Excise office if the papers lag. Ask whether the April fee waiver still applies on the day you visit. Then send REG with code P only after the file shows the right plate and date.
What Punjab riders save
Bikes get four Rs 500 tokens a month. Cars get Rs 100 off per litre on 30 litres.
| Vehicle | Quota | Max save |
| Bike, rickshaw, Qingqi, Chingchi | 4 tokens a month | Rs 2,000 |
| Car up to 800cc | 30 L a month | Rs 3,000 |
Scams targeting “Punjab subsidy”
Fraud ads lean on two names: Punjab and Maryam. Close both if they ask for money.
Fake mkb.punjab.gov.pk clones copy the portal and steal logins. Check the address before you type a CNIC. WhatsApp “Maryam quota agents” sell a bigger cap. They cannot raise four bike tokens or 30 car litres. Paid “9771 helpers” also lie. PM petrol subsidy registration on your own SIM is free.
Government staff will not call for an OTP. They will not charge a fee. Minister Shaza Fatima said the federal process takes no extra data and no payment.
Helpline 1000 is a Punjab phone line. It is not a chat where you hand OTPs to a stranger. If someone on 1000 asks you to install a random app or send a screenshot of your CNIC to WhatsApp, hang up.
Use 9771 and the real mkb URL only. The next list names those official doors.
Official Punjab + federal sources
Keep two lists. Mix them and you will call the wrong desk.
Live federal door
SMS 9771. Site pmfuelrelief.pk. Radio Pakistan and the PMO pointed the public there for the Fuel Pass. Dawn, APP, and Aaj carried the nationwide pump night: 16–17 September 2026. That was the Punjab start date. Call 9771 to complain. A 24-hour control room answers.
April provincial door
Portal mkb.punjab.gov.pk. App Maryam Ko Batayn. Helpline 1000. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz posted the launch on 3 April 2026. Use those three only for leftover April bike petrol subsidy claims, not for a September token.
Frequently asked questions
How do I apply for petrol subsidy Punjab in September 2026?
Send REG to 9771 from your own SIM. Add CNIC, plate, letter P, and the Punjab registration date. After the confirmation, send TOK when you need fuel. Every SMS is free. Skip mkb for this token.
What is the Punjab code for 9771?
The Punjab code is P. Use it only when Punjab Excise issued the plate. A Lahore house does not create a P. A Faisalabad ride on a Sindh file still needs S. Wrong letters fail more than any other field.
When does petrol subsidy start in Lahore?
Lahore pumps follow midnight 16–17 September 2026. Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, and Gujranwala use that same night. Islamabad started earlier, on 14–15 September. Do not treat the ICT night as the Lahore date.
Is Maryam petrol subsidy still active?
Maryam Nawaz opened the provincial package in April 2026 on 1000, Maryam Ko Batayn, and mkb.punjab.gov.pk. Confirm any leftover April claim on those Punjab channels. The live September token for Punjab is federal 9771, not the Maryam app.
Can I use both 1000 and 9771?
They are different doors. 9771 runs the federal Fuel Pass for Punjab plates with code P. 1000 served the April Maryam helpline. Do not read a 1000 complaint number into a REG text. Do not pay anyone who says they will “merge” both.
My bike is registered in Sindh but I live in Lahore. Which code?
Send S. The Fuel Pass reads the Excise file, not your Lahore address. Code P is only for Punjab-registered machines. Fix the province letter first if 9771 rejects the SMS.
Do I need the Maryam Ko Batayn app for 9771?
No. The Ministry of IT built an SMS path. Punjab riders do not need Maryam Ko Batayn to send REG or TOK. Keep that app for the April provincial package only. A random “Punjab subsidy” store app is not official.
Is 70cc required for Punjab petrol subsidy?
Not on the live federal briefing. September 9771 does not lock bikes at 70cc. April blogs about Maryam’s package mixed 70cc and 150cc caps. Do not add that filter to a Punjab REG. Follow vehicle type and the plate test.
Does Punjab petrol subsidy include 800cc cars?
Yes, on the federal scheme that now covers Punjab. Cars up to 800cc get 30 litres a month. Only the registered owner can apply. A Lahore Mehran or Bolan in someone else’s name will fail. Bikes follow looser name rules.
Is petrol subsidy Punjab a scam?
The official paths are real: 9771 plus code P, and the dated Maryam portal. The scam is a fee, an OTP grab, or a fake mkb clone. Government staff will not WhatsApp you for money. If the ad says “Punjab quota agent,” close it.
پنجاب پیٹرول سبسڈی — اردو طریقہ
ستمبر 2026 میں پنجاب کا لائیو دروازہ 9771 ہے۔ یہ وفاقی فیول پاس ہے۔ اپریل والی مریم اسکیم الگ ہے۔
