In line with the federal government’s announcement, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Friday mapped out a new subsidy programme aimed at providing financial relief to millions of motorcyclists across the province. During a press conference on Friday, the Chief Minister confirmed that every registered motorcycle owner in Sindh will receive a monthly subsidy of Rs2,000. To facilitate this, the Excise Department has developed a dedicated mobile application where citizens can enter their CNIC details to claim the amount. According to the chief minister, there are currently 6.7 million registered motorcycles in the province. “The subsidy will be transferred directly to verified owners between April 15 and 20,” he stated, clarifying that this is a cash transfer and not a Rs100-per-litre discount at petrol pumps. In a move to regularise vehicle documentation, CM Murad also announced that motorcycle ownership transfers are being made free of charge. He urged citizens whose vehicles are not yet in their names to complete the transfer process within the next 15 days to remain eligible for the relief. Furthermore, the provincial government plans to extend similar relief to bus and truck owners, with the relevant data being shared with the federal government for implementation, he stated.
