Govt Lifts Five-Litre Fuel Relief Ceiling
Beneficiaries can now redeem Rs500 fuel tokens for any amount as officials respond to feedback from the scheme’s first 48 hours.
- Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif approved modifications to the Special Relief Scheme on Saturday, removing the five-litre minimum purchase requirement to ease access for beneficiaries purchasing smaller fuel quantities.
- Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar chaired a National Steering Committee on Fuel Subsidy meeting to review implementation progress and public feedback from the scheme's first 48 hours.
- Beneficiaries now receive one 10-litre token every 10 days, totaling three per month, while eligibility age limits for two-wheelers and three-wheelers increased from 15 to 20 years.
- Consumers will receive the full value of the Rs500 token, as fuel stations are prohibited from applying any deductions or service charges to ensure beneficiaries receive complete relief.
- Authorities must establish alternative fuel station arrangements for areas with limited internet connectivity, including AJK, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while four-wheelers with engine capacity up to 800cc retain existing terms.
