Under the Prime Minister’s special relief scheme, a digital system has been activated to provide petrol at Rs100 per litre cheaper to owners of motorcycles, rickshaws, Qingqi vehicles, and cars with engines up to 800cc.

Under the scheme, eligible citizens will receive a Rs100-per-litre discount on up to 20 litres of petrol per month for motorcycles and Qingqi vehicles, while owners of cars up to 800cc will be eligible for a monthly limit of 30 litres.

According to the Ministry of IT, an automated digital system has been developed in collaboration with provincial departments, NADRA and telecom companies to implement the scheme. The system will be used to verify eligible individuals and their vehicles.

The vehicle verification system has also been automated in coordination with provincial transport and excise departments to ensure that the petrol subsidy reaches eligible individuals in a transparent manner.

The Ministry of IT says the scheme aims to reduce the financial burden on workers and low-income groups caused by high petrol prices.
