Petrol Relief Code 9771: How to Register and Get Your Token
Petrol prices are a big worry for many families in Pakistan. To help, the government has started the Prime Minister’s Petrol Relief Scheme.
The petrol relief code for this scheme is 9771. You send a simple SMS to this number to register your vehicle. Then you get a token that gives you cheaper petrol at a participating pump.
Many people are searching for the petrol relief code, and many are confused about the right SMS format.
In this guide, you will learn what the code means, who can use it, how much you can save, and how to register step by step. You will also learn what to do if something goes wrong.
What Is the Petrol Relief Code?
The petrol relief code is the short code 9771. It is the number you use for the whole process. You send your registration SMS to this number.
Later, you send another SMS to the same number to get your fuel token.
You do not need to visit an office or stand in a long line. Everything happens by SMS from your own phone.
The best part is that it is free. Registration and token generation through 9771 cost nothing. The government also announced free registration SMS when the scheme began, so you should not pay anything to use it.
Who Can Get Petrol Relief?
The scheme is meant for owners of small vehicles. These groups can register:
- Motorcycle owners
- Rickshaw owners
- Qingqi (Chingchi) owners
- Owners of cars up to 800cc
If your vehicle is bigger than 800cc, you are not eligible for this scheme. Make sure your vehicle fits one of the groups above before you send your SMS.
How Much Relief Will You Get?
The relief depends on the type of vehicle you own.
Motorcycles, rickshaws, and Qingqis: You get a relief token of Rs. 500 every week. You can get up to four tokens in one month. Some news reports also say bike and rickshaw users get relief on five liters. Rules can be explained in different ways, so check the latest details from official sources before you go to the pump.
800cc cars: You get Rs. 100 off on every liter of petrol. This applies to 10 liters every 10 days. That makes 30 liters a month across three tokens.
This means a small car owner can save Rs. 1,000 on each token. Over three tokens, that is a good saving for a family budget.
How to Register Using the Petrol Relief Code 9771
Registration happens through SMS and takes only a few minutes. Follow these steps.
Step 1: Open the messages app on your phone.
Step 2: Type your message in this exact format:
REG [CNIC] [Vehicle No] [Province Code] [Registration Date]
Step 3: Send the message to 9771.
Here is a real example:
REG 61101146206753 ADV811 I 16052017
Let’s look at each part:
- REG: This word tells the system you want to register.
- CNIC: Your 13-digit CNIC number, written without dashes.
- Vehicle No: Your number plate, for example ADV811.
- Province Code: One letter that shows where your vehicle is registered.
- Registration Date: The date your vehicle was registered, written as DDMMYYYY. This means day, month, and year together. For example, 16 May 2017 becomes 16052017.
Be careful with spaces and spelling. Put one space between each part. If the format is wrong, your registration may not go through.
Province Codes for the 9771 SMS
Use the correct letter for your province or region:
| Province / Region | Code |
|---|---|
| Islamabad | I |
| Punjab | P |
| Sindh | S |
| Khyber Pakhtunkhwa | K |
| Balochistan | B |
| Azad Jammu and Kashmir | A |
| Gilgit-Baltistan | G |
In the example above, the letter “I” is used because the vehicle is registered in Islamabad.
How to Get Your Fuel Token
After you send your registration SMS, you will get a confirmation message. This means your registration is complete. Now you can ask for your token.
- Send the word TOK to 9771.
- You will receive a token code by SMS.
- Go to a participating petrol pump.
- Show the token code to the attendant.
- Buy your petrol at the relief rate.
Send TOK before you go to the petrol station. This way your token is ready when you reach the pump, and you will not waste time.
What If You Face a Problem?
Sometimes there can be an issue with your token or at the pump. You have two ways to get help.
Call the helpline. Citizens can call 9771 for help. Pump operators can call 9772.
Use the Pak App. Open the Pak App and choose Fuel Complaint. Enter your complaint details and attach a picture of your token. Then submit your complaint.
Keep your token message safe until you use it. You may need it as proof if you have to file a complaint.
Tips to Avoid Mistakes
Small mistakes are the main reason SMS registrations fail. Keep these tips in mind:
- Check your CNIC number twice before you send.
- Write the CNIC without dashes.
- Use single spaces between all parts of the message.
- Write the date as DDMMYYYY, with no dashes or slashes.
- Pick the correct province code for your vehicle.
- Wait for the confirmation SMS before you send TOK.
