ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet on Monday approved Rs 75 billion for the implementation of the Prime Minister’s Fuel Relief Scheme.
The statement, issued by the Finance Ministry, said that the scheme “envisages the provision of targeted relief to lower-income segments in the wake of increased petroleum prices.”
Under the scheme, two- and three-wheelers will receive relief of Rs. 500 per week, equivalent to 5 litres at Rs. 100 per litre. While cars up to 800cc will receive relief of Rs. 1,000 for ten days, based on 30 litres per month at Rs. 100 per litre.
“The scheme will be restricted to non-commercial users, with relief limited to one vehicle per user/owner,” the statement added.
Furthermore, it added that the Ministry of IT and Telecom will deploy and manage the Fuel Pass System (FPS) for digital management and transparent delivery of the relief.
“The targeted and digitally managed mechanism is aimed at ensuring that the benefit reaches eligible consumers efficiently while strengthening transparency and accountability in implementation.”
As per the statement, the ECC also approved the proposal for the settlement of financial matters of Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs).
The matters include compensation of unadjusted input sales tax claims of OMCs for July 2025 to June 2026 through the Inland Freight Equalization Margin (IFEM).
