Under the revised rates, petrol rises by Rs1.20 per litre to Rs393.86. High-speed diesel (HSD) falls by 17 paisa per litre to Rs396.65.
How the Petrol Relief Scheme discount works
The notification also outlines the Petrol Relief Scheme. Motorcycle and Cingchi rickshaw owners can get a Rs100 per litre discount on up to 20 litres of petrol a month. Owners of vehicles with engines up to 800cc are eligible for discounted petrol of up to 30 litres monthly.
Registering and obtaining a discounted petrol token
Applicants must register by sending an SMS to 9771 containing REG, their CNIC number, the vehicle registration number, the first word of their province name and the vehicle registration date. A confirmation message is sent to their mobile phone once registration is complete.
Before visiting a petrol station, applicants should send TOK to 9771 and receive a token number by SMS. The token must be presented at the station to claim the discounted fuel, and a confirmation message follows the transaction.
