CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme 2026 — Eligibility, Installments & How to Apply
The CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme provides electric bikes on zero-interest installments in two phases: one for government school teachers managed through the Punjab Teachers Foundation (PTF) at ptf.punjab.gov.pk, and one for college and university students. For teachers, the government provides a subsidy of 30 to 40 percent on each e-bike — covering Rs. 70,000 to Rs. 100,000 of the total cost — with the remaining balance paid in interest-free monthly installments of Rs. 3,600 to Rs. 4,200 over 24 to 36 months, according to PTF program details. Priority is given to female teachers and those working in rural areas. For queries, call the PTF helpline at 042-111-333-267.

What Is the CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme?
The CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme is a government initiative providing affordable electric motorcycles to government school teachers and college students to reduce commuting costs and promote clean transport. The scheme is part of Punjab’s broader electric vehicle promotion strategy.
Two separate phases run under this scheme:
The teacher phase is managed by the Punjab Teachers Foundation (PTF) under the School Education Department (SED). PTF handles registration, verifies eligibility, coordinates with e-bike manufacturers, monitors distribution, and manages installment payment tracking.
The student phase is coordinated through institutional channels — college and university administrations coordinate with the relevant department. Students should check with their institution’s administration office for the current phase status and application process in their district.
Both phases are fully interest-free. The government pays the markup — you pay only the principal amount spread across monthly installments.
Teacher Phase — Who Is Eligible?
The PTF teacher e-bike phase is open to:
- Government school teachers — both permanent and contract employees — working within Punjab province
- Valid CNIC holders with a Punjab domicile
- Valid driving licence — a learner’s permit is also accepted
- Age up to 55 years at the time of application
- Active service — teachers must be currently employed in a government school
Priority in selection is given to:
- Female teachers at all locations
- Teachers working in rural and remote areas
- Teachers who have not previously received a government transport benefit
Teachers from all grade levels are eligible — PST, Elementary, EST, and SST categories are all covered in the current phase, according to PTF program details.
Subsidy and Installment Structure — Teachers
The Punjab government covers 30 to 40 percent of each e-bike’s total cost as an upfront subsidy, according to PTF scheme details:
- Total e-bike market price: Rs. 200,000 to Rs. 250,000 depending on model
- Government subsidy: Rs. 70,000 to Rs. 100,000 per bike
- Teacher’s share: Rs. 130,000 to Rs. 150,000 paid through interest-free installments
- Installment duration: 24 to 36 months
- Monthly installment by model:
- Model 1: Rs. 3,600 per month
- Model 2: Rs. 3,900 per month
- Model 3: Rs. 4,200 per month
Three approved e-bike models are available. Installments are deducted through bank financing or salary deduction arrangement, depending on the teacher’s bank. Zero markup applies throughout the entire installment period.
Available Models
Three approved electric bike models are offered under the teacher phase. Exact model names and specifications are confirmed at ptf.punjab.gov.pk when the application window is open. Models range in battery capacity, range per charge, and load capacity. Choose the model based on your daily commuting distance — longer routes need higher battery capacity.

Required Documents — Teachers
- Valid CNIC — clear scan front and back
- Valid driving licence or learner’s permit — currently valid
- Recent salary slip — from the current month
- School posting order or appointment letter — confirming current station and employment status
- Recent passport-size photograph
All documents are uploaded digitally through the PTF portal. Blurry scans and name mismatches between CNIC and service records are the two most common rejection reasons.
How to Apply — Teachers — Step by Step
Applications are submitted through the official Punjab Teachers Foundation portal.
- Go to ptf.punjab.gov.pk when the registration window is open.
- Click “CM Punjab E-Bike Teacher Scheme 2026 — Apply Online” on the portal homepage.
- Click Sign Up or Register and create an account using your CNIC and mobile number.
- Log in to your account dashboard.
- Complete the application form — enter your personal details, school name and district, grade, service status, and SED service record details.
- Select your preferred e-bike model from the three available options.
- Upload all required documents.
- Submit and download the application acknowledgment slip — keep this as your reference.
- Track your application status by logging in to the PTF portal with your credentials.
For queries at any stage, call the PTF helpline at 042-111-333-267 during office hours.
Student Phase — Key Information
The student phase of the e-bike scheme targets college and university students who commute daily to public sector educational institutions. The application process for students is coordinated through the institution rather than through a direct individual portal.
Steps for students:
- Ask your college or university administration office whether your institution is included in the current student phase.
- If included, your institution will give you the application form or direct you to the relevant portal for student applications.
- Complete the application with your CNIC, student ID, and institution enrollment certificate.
- Submit through your institution — the administration forwards applications to the relevant department.
Students should not attempt to apply through the PTF teacher portal — the two phases have separate systems.
What to Do When Something Goes Wrong
PTF Portal Shows Application Window Closed
The PTF portal at ptf.punjab.gov.pk announces opening dates in advance. If applications are not currently open, check the portal weekly from the beginning of each academic semester — application windows typically align with the start of the school and college year. Sign up for notifications on the PTF portal if available, or call 042-111-333-267 to ask about the next opening date.
Driving Licence or Learner’s Permit Expired
Your licence must be valid at the time of application. Renew it at your nearest district driving licence authority before applying. Learner’s permits are accepted — if you have not obtained one yet, a learner’s permit is faster to get than a full licence and sufficient for the application.
Installment Deduction Not Starting After Bike Delivery
Contact your Bank of Punjab branch or the bank handling your salary account and ask them to confirm the installment deduction mandate is set up correctly. If the deduction has not started within 60 days of bike delivery, contact PTF through ptf.punjab.gov.pk and report the issue with your application reference number and CNIC.
Selected but Bike Not Delivered After 8 Weeks
Contact PTF at 042-111-333-267 with your CNIC, application reference number, and selection confirmation date. PTF coordinates delivery directly with manufacturers and distributes by district. Your call creates a complaint record that triggers follow-up on your district’s delivery schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the monthly installment for the CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme for teachers?
Monthly installments range from Rs. 3,600 to Rs. 4,200 depending on the e-bike model selected, according to PTF scheme details. Installments are paid over 24 to 36 months at zero interest or markup. The total cost to the teacher after government subsidy ranges from Rs. 130,000 to Rs. 150,000 depending on the model.
Is the E-Bike Scheme free for teachers?
No. The government pays 30 to 40 percent of the bike’s cost as a subsidy. Teachers pay the remaining 60 to 70 percent through interest-free monthly installments. The word “free” does not apply to the teacher phase — the scheme is subsidised and installment-based, not a free giveaway.
Can contract teachers apply for the E-Bike Scheme?
Yes. Both permanent and contract government school teachers are eligible, according to PTF program eligibility criteria. Contract teachers must be currently on active service at a government school at the time of application.
Is a learner’s permit sufficient for the E-Bike Scheme or do I need a full driving licence?
A valid learner’s permit is accepted in place of a full driving licence, according to PTF eligibility terms. Both are acceptable. The permit must be currently valid — expired documents of either type are not accepted.
What happens to my installments if I retire or transfer before the repayment is complete?
Contact PTF at 042-111-333-267 immediately if your employment status changes while you have active installments. The payment arrangement shifts from salary deduction to a direct bank installment plan in most such cases. Do not stop payments without contacting PTF first — missed installments create a default record.
