Sindh CM launches online portal for bikers to receive Rs2,000 subsidy

CM Sindh – (Web Desk) – Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has launched a new online system for motorcycle owners. It lets people register their bikes and apply for a fuel subsidy of Rs2,000 every month.

He announced this at a press conference at CM House. He said applicants just need to enter their CNIC number and bank account details on the portal. After that they get an automatic confirmation message.

Senior Minister Sharjeel Memon, Excise Minister Mukesh Chawla and Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab were also present at the event.

The CM made one thing clear. Only motorcycles registered in the owner’s name will qualify for this subsidy. No registration means no money.

So how much will people actually get? Rs2,000 per month. That roughly covers around 20 litres of fuel. Not a huge amount but it does help regular riders manage their monthly fuel costs.

The payment speed depends on your bank. Sindh Bank account holders will get the money within 24 hours. People with accounts in other banks will have to wait around three days.

A helpline has also been set up for anyone who needs help with the process. You can call 021-111-374-634.

The CM said this move will also push more people to open bank accounts. He added that the whole scheme is about getting financial help directly to the people who actually need it. No middlemen. No delays. Just straight transfers.

The CM said that the targeted subsidy framework had several key components. “For the bike subsidy, Rs13.4 billion is allocated, transport subsidy, which will be coordinated with the federal government, is set at Rs14.3bn per month,” he added.

He said that the provincial government had abolished Rs500 transfer fee for motorcycles to encourage ownership correction. “Excise offices across Sindh will remain open from 8:00 am to midnight, including weekends, for 15 days to expedite registrations,” he added.

“Around 1,500 motorcycles have already been transferred to the rightful owners,” he added.

The chief minister recalled that the provincial government had secured an agreement with transporters to keep fares unchanged despite rising fuel costs, with the government providing substantial subsidies to support them.

“As a result, fares will remain at Feb 28, 2026, levels, benefiting millions of commuters,” he added.

Mr Shah said that government was subsidising around 11,000 private buses and 470 government-run buses, with a fare stabilisation support of Rs3-4 billion. “Any increase in fare will face strict action,” he warned.

The chief minister said that a Rs3 billion farmer subsidy programme would begin this week, providing financial assistance to small growers.

He said that the provincial government was also working on mechanisms to extend direct relief to consumers, particularly for essential commodities such as flour and food items.

To a question, the chief minister said that consultations had been held with transporters and 25 traders’ associations, most of whom had supported the government’s relief measures and agreed to cooperate.

“Except for two associations, all have agreed to call off protests against the increase in petrol prices,” he said, hoping that the remaining associations would also voluntarily end their protests, keeping in view the prevailing regional situation.
