The Punjab government, led by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has officially launched two major E-Bike schemes in 2025 to help students and low-income individuals shift to cleaner, cheaper transportation. These electric bike programs come with cashback offers, subsidies, and a transparent balloting process, making it easier for people to afford eco-friendly vehicles.
Scheme #1: Punjab Green Credit Program – Get Rs. 1 Lakh Cashback
This unique program rewards people who buy and regularly use a new electric bike. If you travel enough, the government will give you Rs. 100,000 back in two simple steps.
Step 1: Rs. 50,000 Cashback After Bike Purchase
- Buy a brand-new factory-made electric bike after December 2024
- Apply online with your CNIC, purchase invoice, and bike photos
- A government team will visit to verify the bike
- After approval, Rs. 50,000 will be transferred to your bank account
Converted petrol bikes are not allowed under this scheme.
Step 2: Rs. 50,000 Cashback After Using the Bike
- Download the official Green Credit App
- Ride 6,000 kilometers within 6 months
- The app will track your distance
- After verification, you’ll receive the second Rs. 50,000 cashback
This way, only real users benefit — not those who want quick money.
