Required Documents: What You Need to Register for Fuel Relief

Important: This page lists documents for two separate programmes. The PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 is a federal programme (register via SMS to 9771). The Maryam Ko Batayn (MKB) Programme is a Punjab provincial programme (register at mkb.punjab.gov.pk). They have different document requirements.

PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 — Federal (SMS Registration)

Registration for the federal PM Fuel Relief Scheme is done entirely by SMS. No physical documents are submitted to any office. However, the following information must be correct and at hand before you send your SMS.

Your 13-digit CNIC Number

Your Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) number — all 13 digits, without dashes. This is included in the SMS text. The CNIC must be the same one under which both your SIM and vehicle are registered.

Vehicle / Bike Registration Number

The official number plate of your motorcycle, rickshaw, or car (e.g. LEB1234, KHI5678, ICT9021). Written without spaces or hyphens directly in the SMS text.

Province Code (First Letter of Your Province)

The registration SMS requires the first letter of your province (e.g. P for Punjab, S for Sindh).

Province code caution: Only Sindh = S is confirmed by name in official reporting. If you are not in Sindh, verify the correct letter from the official SMS channel or a Ministry of IT & Telecom publication before sending — a wrong code means a failed registration.

Vehicle Registration Date (from your Registration Book)

The date your vehicle was first registered, in DDMMYYYY format. Example: 2 September 2026 → 02092026. You can find this date on your vehicle's Registration Certificate (log book / RC book).

Tip: You do not need to submit the registration book physically. You only need the date printed on it to complete the SMS.

SIM Registered Under Your Own CNIC

The mobile number from which you send the registration SMS must be registered under the same CNIC as the one you include in the message and the one under which your vehicle is registered. Family members' SIMs registered under a different CNIC will not work.

Registration is free. There is no fee, processing charge, or agent cost. Each SMS costs Rs. 1.25 plus applicable tax. If anyone asks you to pay to register or submit physical documents to an office, it is a scam.

SMS format reminder

Send this to 9771:
REG [13-digit CNIC] [Bike/Vehicle Number] [Province Code] [Date DDMMYYYY]
Example (Punjab): REG 1234567890123 LEB1234 P 02092026
Example (Sindh): REG 1234567890123 KHI5678 S 02092026

Maryam Ko Batayn (MKB) Programme — Punjab Portal Documents

Separate scheme: The MKB programme is a Punjab provincial initiative. It is not related to the federal PM Fuel Relief Scheme. Registration is through themkb.punjab.gov.pkportal, not by SMS to 9771.

The official Maryam Ko Batayn (MKB) Punjab Portal at mkb.punjab.gov.pk serves as the centralized digital gateway for citizens across Punjab to submit complaints, verify socio-economic eligibility, and track provincial welfare packages directly from their computer or smartphone.

To help citizens navigate the online verification procedure and avoid fraudulent third-party portals, the Government of Punjab provides the structured workflow illustrated in the official guide below. Ensure you have your valid CNIC and registered mobile phone available before logging into the portal:

4 Core Portal Features Shown in the Official Guide

The infographic above outlines the four primary public services accessible on the Punjab Maryam Ko Batayn portal:

پورٹل پر لاگ ان (Portal Login & CNIC Verification)

Citizens log in using their 13-digit Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) number and password. For first-time registration, a one-time password (OTP) is sent to the mobile SIM registered under that exact CNIC.

شکایات کا اندراج (Direct Grievance Submission)

Public complaints, civic grievances, and service delays can be submitted directly through the portal dashboard without visiting district administration offices. Each submission generates a trackable complaint ID.

فلاحی پروگراموں کی ٹریکنگ (Welfare Schemes Tracking)

Check real-time qualification and dispatch status for Punjab relief initiatives — including Ramadan relief packages, Negahban cards, Kisan cards, and Himmat cards — directly through your CNIC profile.

ڈیجیٹل سروسز کے بڑے فائدے (Key Digital Portal Benefits)

Direct digital access eliminates unauthorized agents and fee extortion, provides automated SMS progress notifications, and guarantees paperless verification directly through NADRA and PSER databases.

Required Documents and Verification Checklist for Punjab MKB

The following documents and verification details are required when registering or accessing services through the Punjab MKB portal or calling Helpline 1000:

Valid CNIC

A valid, unexpired Computerised National Identity Card issued in your name. Must be a Punjab resident CNIC.

Mobile SIM Registered Under Your CNIC

A mobile number registered under your own CNIC is required for OTP verification during the portal registration process.

Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER) Eligibility

Your household must be registered in, or eligible for registration in, the Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER). The portal checks this automatically when you enter your CNIC. If you are not yet registered in PSER, you may be directed to complete that registration first.

Household Income and Composition Information

The Punjab MKB programme targets low-income families. During the portal or survey process, information about household size, monthly income, and assets may be collected.

Check the official portal: The Punjab MKB programme document requirements may be updated by provincial notification. Always verify the current requirements from the officialmkb.punjab.gov.pkportal or by calling Helpline 1000 (Punjab province only; not a federal PM Fuel Relief Scheme helpline).

Frequently Asked Questions

You need your 13-digit CNIC number, your vehicle or bike registration number (number plate), your vehicle registration date (in DDMMYYYY format), your province code (e.g. P or S), and a SIM registered under the same CNIC. No physical documents are required — registration is done by SMS to 9771.

Is a vehicle registration document (book) needed for the federal scheme?

You do not need to submit a physical vehicle registration book. However, the vehicle registration date must be accurate in the SMS you send. The date printed on your vehicle registration certificate (book) is the source of this date.

What documents are needed for the Punjab MKB programme?

The Punjab MKB programme requires a valid CNIC, a SIM registered under the same CNIC, and registration in (or eligibility for) the Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER). Additional documents may be requested through the mkb.punjab.gov.pk portal. Check the official portal for the current list.

Do I need to submit my CNIC copy somewhere?

For the federal PM Fuel Relief Scheme, no physical CNIC copy is required. You include your CNIC number (13 digits) in the SMS text sent to 9771. For the Punjab MKB programme, the mkb.punjab.gov.pk portal may request CNIC verification through its online process.

What is my province code for the SMS?

Only Sindh = S is confirmed by name in official reporting. For other provinces, verify the correct province letter from the official SMS channel or Ministry of IT & Telecom publication before sending your registration SMS. A wrong province code will result in a failed registration.
