Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed to inform people about registration and other necessary procedures to get fuel subsidy under PM Special Relief Scheme.

He was chairing a review meeting regarding the scheme for motorcycles, rickshaws and 800 cc cars in Islamabad.

The Prime Minister directed that the SMS required for registration for the subsidy should be made free of cost.

The fuel subsidy scheme was launched for residents of Islamabad last night, while people across the country, including Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, will be able to avail the petrol relief from the night between tomorrow and the day after.

The Prime Minister called for mobilizing elected representatives and volunteers across the country to assist citizens in registration and other necessary procedures.

He also instructed the authorities to launch an extensive awareness campaign through media.

The meeting was informed that only four basic pieces of information are required for registration: Computerized National Identity Card number, vehicle number plate, province of registration and vehicle registration date.

Complete details of the fuel subsidy scheme are available on the website pmfuelrelief.pk.
