Required Documents: What You Need to Register for Fuel Relief
Important: This page lists documents for two separate programmes. The PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 is a federal programme (register via SMS to 9771). The Maryam Ko Batayn (MKB) Programme is a Punjab provincial programme (register at mkb.punjab.gov.pk). They have different document requirements.
PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026 — Federal (SMS Registration)
Registration for the federal PM Fuel Relief Scheme is done entirely by SMS. No physical documents are submitted to any office. However, the following information must be correct and at hand before you send your SMS.
Your 13-digit CNIC Number
Your Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) number — all 13 digits, without dashes. This is included in the SMS text. The CNIC must be the same one under which both your SIM and vehicle are registered.
Vehicle Registration Date (from your Registration Book)
The date your vehicle was first registered, in DDMMYYYY format. Example: 2 September 2026 → 02092026. You can find this date on your vehicle's Registration Certificate (log book / RC book).
Province Code (First Letter of Your Province)
The registration SMS requires the first letter of your province.
SIM Registered Under Your Own CNIC
The mobile number from which you send the registration SMS must be registered under the same CNIC as the one you include in the message and the one under which your vehicle is registered. Family members' SIMs registered under a different CNIC will not work.

A valid, unexpired Computerised National Identity Card issued in your name. Must be a Punjab resident CNIC.

A mobile number registered under your own CNIC is required for OTP verification during the portal registration process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents do I need to register for PM Fuel Relief Scheme 2026?
You need your 13-digit CNIC number, your vehicle registration date (in DDMMYYYY format), your province code (only Sindh = S is officially confirmed), and a SIM registered under the same CNIC. No physical documents are required — registration is done by SMS to 9771.
Is a vehicle registration document (book) needed for the federal scheme?
You do not need to submit a physical vehicle registration book. However, the vehicle registration date must be accurate in the SMS you send. The date printed on your vehicle registration certificate (book) is the source of this date.
What documents are needed for the Punjab MKB programme?
The Punjab MKB programme requires a valid CNIC, a SIM registered under the same CNIC, and registration in (or eligibility for) the Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER). Additional documents may be requested through the mkb.punjab.gov.pk portal. Check the official portal for the current list.
Do I need to submit my CNIC copy somewhere?
For the federal PM Fuel Relief Scheme, no physical CNIC copy is required. You include your CNIC number (13 digits) in the SMS text sent to 9771. For the Punjab MKB programme, the mkb.punjab.gov.pk portal may request CNIC verification through its online process.
What is my province code for the SMS?
Only Sindh = S is confirmed by name in official reporting. For other provinces, verify the correct province letter from the official SMS channel or Ministry of IT & Telecom publication before sending your registration SMS. A wrong province code will result in a failed registration.
