The Nation (10 Sep 2026) gives Rs 3,028; APP (12 Oct 2026) and the CM (17 Oct 2026) say Rs 3,000) ## What is the e-bike scheme 2026 installment plan? The terms for Phase II, as reported in September and October 2026: | Term | Phase II | |---|---| | Bikes | 100,000, for students | | Monthly installment | About Rs 3,000 (Rs 3,028 per The Nation) | | Period | 3 years | | Down payment | None | | Interest and insurance | Paid by the Punjab government | | Registration and token tax | Paid by the government (PakWheels) | | Government subsidy | Rs 90,000 per bike (PakWheels) | | Extras | Free helmet and safety rod, two days of safety training | The terms changed over the year. When the CM relaunched the scheme on 30 June 2026, Aaj News reported a **Rs 14,000 down payment**, Rs 2,100 a month and a Rs 70,000 subsidy. The September and October reports drop the down payment and raise the monthly figure to about Rs 3,000, so we follow those. PakWheels, citing the government portal, lists the bike as a 1,000W hub motor with a 72V lithium battery and a top speed of 50 to 55 km/h. Bikes come in black for male students and pink for female students. ## Who is eligible for the CM Punjab electric bike scheme? The Nation lists these conditions for Phase II: - **Punjab domicile** or a Punjab identity card. - **Regular student** at an HEC-recognised public or private degree college or university. - **Driving licence or learner's permit** for a motorcycle. - **One bike per family.** You also need a **guarantor**, usually a parent or legal guardian, with a valid CNIC and proof of income. PakWheels says the mobile number on the form must be registered in the guarantor's name. **Sources differ on the minimum age:** The Nation says you must be 18. PakWheels says 16, with a juvenile driving permit accepted. Neither is the official notice, and we couldn't open the scheme's portal (bikes.punjab.gov.pk) on 19 Oct 2026, so check the age rule there. ## How do you apply, and when is the balloting? Applications were taken online, on the Transport Department's portal. By 12 October 2026, more than **1.3 million** young people had registered and over **607,000** applications had been submitted, APP reported. That's about six applications for every bike. APP says the bikes will be **allotted by balloting**. PakWheels (7 Sep 2026) described it as first come, first served after documents; we follow APP, the state news agency, whose report is later. The CM told officials to deliver bikes within six weeks of the application process ending, The Nation reported. As of 19 October 2026 we found no official balloting or delivery date. ## Is there an e-bike scheme for government employees or teachers? **Teachers:** Punjab approved a separate e-bike scheme for teachers in April 2026, Daily Pakistan reported. Bikes cost Rs 200,000 to Rs 250,000, with a 30% to 40% subsidy and the rest paid over two to three years, interest-free. Applications were to open on the Punjab Teachers Foundation website.
