KPK Ehsaas Fuel Support Program: How to Apply for Rs2,000 Monthly Petrol Subsidy

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has launched the Ehsaas Fuel Support Program to protect citizens from the sharp rise in fuel prices caused by the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran. Registered owners of motorcycles, scooters, and rickshaws across KPK will now receive a monthly petrol subsidy of Rs2,000. Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Afridi introduced this initiative, and registration officially opened on April 6, 2026.

What Is the KPK Ehsaas Fuel Support Program?

The Ehsaas Fuel Support Program is a provincial relief initiative by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Special Assistant to the Chief Minister, Shafi Jan, formally announced the scheme on behalf of CM Sohail Afridi to ease the financial burden on daily transport users. The program specifically targets low- and middle-income individuals who depend on two-wheelers and rickshaws for their daily commute and livelihood. Citizens can register through the Dastak App, which authorities describe as simple, digital, and fully transparent.

Why Did KPK Launch This Scheme?

Pakistan recently witnessed a historic surge in fuel prices. Since the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28, global oil prices have risen sharply. Dubai crude jumped from $71.2 per barrel on February 27 to $114.6 by April 2, 2026, triggering a severe fuel shock across the country. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa alone has approximately 1.5 million registered motorcycles, according to CM Sohail Afridi, making this subsidy a critical lifeline for the province’s daily commuters.

Who Qualifies for the Rs2,000 Monthly Petrol Subsidy?

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has set clear eligibility conditions for this program. Your vehicle must be a motorcycle, scooter, or rickshaw registered in your own name. Ownership transfer documents must also be fully completed and valid. The government will not accept applications for vehicles still registered under another person’s name or for unregistered vehicles. Meeting these conditions before applying will save time and prevent rejection.

Documents You Need Before Applying

Gather these documents before opening the Dastak App:

CNIC front and back copy. Vehicle registration book or smart card. A clear, recent photograph of your vehicle. If ownership was recently transferred, upload the buyer and seller verification signed by both parties.

Keeping all documents clear, complete, and accurate is essential for a smooth approval.

How to Apply via the Dastak App: Step-by-Step Guide

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has made the registration process fully digital through the Dastak App, available on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Follow these steps carefully:

• Step 1: Download the Dastak App from the Play Store (Click Here to download) or App Store (click here to download). You can also download these apps from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s official website. (click Here)
• Step 2: Create your user account on the app.
• Step 3: Enter your vehicle registration number and chassis number.
• Step 4: Select your district from the dropdown list.
• Step 5: Fill in your complete personal details — full name, father’s name, CNIC number, registered mobile number, and home address.
• Step 6: Upload your CNIC (front and back), registration book or smart card, and a clear vehicle photograph. Step 7: For transferred vehicles, also attach the buyer and seller verification document.
• Step 8: Review all information carefully, then submit your application.

How Does the Verification Process Work?

After submission, the e-Sahulat system carries out the initial check of your documents and ownership details. The Excise and Taxation Office then conducts a final review before granting approval. Once the process completes, the app notifies you whether your application has been approved or rejected. Providing false or incomplete information will immediately disqualify your application, so double-check everything before hitting submit.

Tips to Avoid Application Rejection

Transfer your vehicle registration to your own name before applying. Always use a mobile number registered under your own CNIC. Make sure all uploaded document images are sharp and readable. Never share your personal details with unofficial agents or third-party websites. Apply early — this is a targeted, budget-limited program.
