CM Punjab Maryam Nawaz Schemes — Programme Hub

By MKB Editorial Team

Quick answer

The CM Punjab schemes are Government of Punjab programmes under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. You reach them through Maryam Ko Batain: the portal mkb.punjab.gov.pk, the Maryam Ko Batayen app and helpline 1000. They are separate from the federal PM Fuel Relief Scheme.

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has initiated several welfare programmes for Punjab residents since taking office. This page is a hub for the programmes MKB.org.pk covers. Each section links to detailed guides where available.

Punjab Solar Panel Scheme

The Punjab government has announced a solar panel scheme for lower-income households. MKB.org.pk does not yet have detailed, verified coverage of eligibility criteria, application process, or benefit amounts for this scheme. This page will be updated when confirmed information is available.

CM Punjab Schemes vs the Federal PM Fuel Relief Scheme

It is important to distinguish between Punjab provincial programmes and the federal PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026. These are separate schemes with separate authorities and separate registration processes:

  • Federal — PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026: Announced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on 13 September 2026. Covers all of Pakistan. Register by SMS to 9771. Provides Rs. 100/litre discount on petrol for motorcycles, rickshaws, and cars up to 800cc.
  • Punjab — Maryam Ko Batayn Programme: Announced and administered by CM Punjab Maryam Nawaz. Covers Punjab province only. Registration and applications through mkb.punjab.gov.pk or Helpline 1000.
Do not register on the federal 9771 SMS channel expecting Punjab MKB benefits, or vice versa. These are two entirely different programmes. Confirm which scheme you are applying for before submitting your details.

How to Access the MKB Programme

The Maryam Ko Batayn programme is primarily accessed through:

  1. The official portal: mkb.punjab.gov.pk
  2. The Punjab CM Helpline: 1000 (available to Punjab residents)

MKB.org.pk does not process applications or registrations. We provide independent information to help you understand and navigate the official channels. Start with our Maryam Ko Batain portal guide, then the Punjab petrol subsidy guide if you own a motorbike.
