ByNawaz Sharif

The Punjab Bike Scheme 2024, launched under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, is a fantastic opportunity for students in Punjab to own a bike on easy, interest-free installments. This initiative aims to address transportation challenges for students while making commuting more affordable.

Under this scheme, the Punjab government is offering 19,000 petrol bikes and 8,179 electric bikes. In addition, a subsidy of ₨ 50,000 is provided for electric bikes and ₨ 20,000 for petrol bikes, making it highly beneficial for students.

Current Progress of the Scheme

The Punjab government, through the Bank of Punjab (BOP), is actively distributing bikes to both male and female students who have successfully applied and were selected via a lottery system. However, some students have not yet completed the necessary steps required to finalize their applications.

To address this, the Punjab government has issued critical instructions for these candidates. If you have applied for the scheme, here’s what you need to know to avoid missing out.
