Federal Information Technology and Telecommunication Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja announced on Friday that more than 6.18 million fuel relief tokens have been generated under the Prime Minister's Fuel Relief Scheme since its launch, with 4.79 million tokens already redeemed. She reiterated that the government has lifted the five-litre limit for motorcycles, rickshaws, and Qingqi, and removed the ownership requirement for rented vehicles.
The scheme aims to provide targeted relief to citizens affected by rising fuel costs due to volatile global oil markets resulting from regional tensions in the Middle East. The scheme extends to two- and three-wheelers, including motorcycles, Qingqi, and rickshaws, as well as cars up to 800cc. A live dashboard displays the registration, token generation, and redemption figures, with province-wise breakdowns available.
A 24/7 control room monitors the implementation, ensuring transparency and timely resolution of issues. Citizens can call 9771 or visit the official website for support. Provincial governments are actively involved in overseeing the scheme, with daily meetings held to monitor its progress. The minister thanked stakeholders for their assistance and vowed to conduct awareness campaigns and use media to further reach eligible citizens.
