Maryam Nawaz has launched a new program called the Punjab Bike Scheme to assist Punjabi students with their mobility needs. Students who participate in this program can get gas-powered or electric bikes in convenient installments. Students will find it easier to pay for the down payment and monthly installments as a result of the Punjab government also absorbing additional costs.
Overwhelming Response from Students
The overwhelming response from students has the Punjab administration in high spirits. Students keen to take advantage of this program submitted over 200,000 applications in the first few days of registration alone. This demonstrates the extent to which students require assistance with transportation through such programs. Since the registration for E-Bikes is currently closed, students who have not yet applied for the Punjab Bike Scheme will have to wait. A new date for the reopening of registrations will be announced by the administration later.
How to Receive Your Punjab Bike
It’s simple for students who have been chosen for the Punjab Bike Scheme to pick up their bikes. Once they’ve finished all the requirements, customers can pick up their bikes from the Bank of Punjab (BOP) location. The procedures are easy to follow: Bring your documentation and visit the closest BOP branch. Send in the insurance premium and the signed equity form. From the BOP customer center, obtain the delivery order. Acquire the bicycle from the designated vendor. Students can easily pick up their bikes on the same day, without any hassles, by following these simple procedures.

Government Support for Bike Payments
The government’s sponsorship is one of the main components of the Punjab Bike Scheme. For gas-powered bikes, the Punjab government pays Rs 20,000, and for electric bikes, Rs 50,000. This aids in the majority of the cost being covered by the students, making payment management simpler. All that will be required of the students is the equity amount, insurance premium, and monthly installments. Students can visit the BOP website or contact their helpdesk for any further information.
Balloting and Lucky Winners
Additionally, the Punjabi government has declared that about 27,000 pupils have been chosen via voting to get bikes. On the official government website, the names of the fortunate winners are listed. Without leaving their homes, students can find out if their name is on the list. Downloading the PDF file and viewing the winners’ list is an easy process.
Conclusion
Over 200,000 students have registered for the Punjab Bike Scheme, demonstrating the extraordinary reaction it has received. The Punjab government is supporting this effort, which gives students access to motorcycles at reasonable prices and pays for additional expenses, making it simpler for them to handle their mobility needs. Those who have already been chosen can visit the closest BOP branch to complete the necessary paperwork and pick up their bikes, even though registrations are currently closed. This initiative is a significant step towards assisting Punjab’s youth and enhancing their quality of life.
