For motorcycle, Qingqi and rickshaw riders, the weekly fuel token is a regular help against rising petrol prices. The PM Petrol Relief Scheme 9771 gives eligible two- and three-wheeler users a weekly token worth Rs 500, and the latest update has made it easier to use: the old five-litre minimum purchase condition has been removed, and the SMS service has been made free.
This guide explains who can get it, how 9771 registration works, and what to check before relying on it, keeping confirmed facts separate from online claims.

Free SMS service: Registration and related SMS messages have been made free for eligible users.
Older vehicles included: The age limit has risen from 15 to 20 years, covering vehicles registered on or after 1 January 2006.
Who Is Eligible
Eligibility rests on the vehicle and its registration record. The confirmed points are:
Eligible vehicles: Motorcycles, Qingqi vehicles and rickshaws, plus other qualifying three-wheelers.
Non-commercial use: Restricted to non-commercial users only.
One vehicle per owner: Relief is limited to one vehicle per user or owner.
Correct records: The CNIC, vehicle number and registration date must match the official record.
Registered SIM: Send the SMS from a number registered against your own CNIC.
Cars above 800cc, diesel vehicles and public transport are not covered.
How Registration Works
Registration is a one-time SMS process, with no fee and no agent needed:
Step 1, gather details: Keep your CNIC number, vehicle number without spaces, the first English letter of your province, and the registration date ready.
Step 2, send the SMS: Send REG, followed by those details, to 9771.
Step 3, wait for confirmation: The system checks your CNIC, SIM and vehicle record, then sends a confirmation message.
Step 4, request a token: Before visiting a station, send TOK to 9771 to generate your fuel token.
Step 5, show the token: Present it at a participating station, where it is verified before relief is applied.
One easing reported during the rollout: riders do not necessarily need the vehicle in their own name, as long as they supply the exact registration date from the documents. If a message is rejected, check that date first.
Online Check: What You Can Verify
Many websites advertise an “online check”, but no separate, verified online status-check page for individual tokens has been confirmed for this guide. What you can genuinely verify is:
SMS confirmation: The confirmation reply from 9771, and the token message itself, are your proof of enrolment.
Official website: General scheme guidance is on the official portal, pmfuelrelief.pk.
Pump verification: A participating station verifies the token before supplying subsidised petrol.
Do not enter your CNIC on a random website claiming to check your token status. The official process runs through 9771, and any third-party site asking for your CNIC or a payment is not part of it.
Beware of Fee-Charging Agents
Registration is free: Nobody may charge you a fee for registering on 9771 or generating a token.
Only use 9771: Send messages only to the official short code, never to a personal mobile number.
Guard your CNIC: Share CNIC details only in the official SMS to 9771, not with strangers on social media.
Status Note Before You Travel
Rules have already changed once during the rollout, and funding was initially approved for the first three months. Confirm current rules on the official portal and through 9771 replies before depending on a token.
Contact and Helpline Details
No telephone helpline number could be verified, so none is printed here. Use only these official channels.
The Rs 500 weekly token update makes the scheme more useful for motorcycle, Qingqi and rickshaw riders: the five-litre minimum is gone, SMS messages are free, and vehicles up to 20 years old are covered. Register once by SMS to 9771, request a token with TOK before each visit, and have it verified at a participating station. Use only the official short code and portal, pay no agent any fee, and check current rules before travelling.
