The government of Pakistan has finalized a new targeted petrol subsidy system, bringing major relief for citizens without requiring any app or complicated registration process. According to officials from the Ministry of IT, the subsidy will be directly transferred to eligible individuals using official government data.
This new system is designed to make petrol relief simple, transparent, and accessible, especially as fuel prices continue to rise across Pakistan.
💡 No App, No Registration – How the System Works
In a major shift from previous schemes:

- Transport sector (buses, trucks, large vehicles)
Each province will implement specific measures for local beneficiaries.
