The scheme offers 100,000 electric bikes to students across Punjab on easy instalments.

Why the December Distribution Date Matters
For students, the December date matters because the academic year is already under way and many students travel long distances to their colleges and universities every day. An electric bike removes the daily cost of bus fares and rickshaws, and it gives students control over their own travel time. The Chief Minister announced the December date at the Jhelum ceremony, where she also distributed laptops and scholarships, linking the e-bike scheme to the province’s wider package of student support. The December start also means the first batch of bikes will reach students before the winter break, so they can use them from the start of the new term. Students who are selected should therefore treat the coming weeks as preparation time: documents, the instalment plan and training should all be ready before the delivery call comes.
What Selected Students Must Do Before Delivery
Selected students should get their documents and payments ready so that delivery is not delayed. The scheme has zero down payment and zero percent markup, but the monthly instalment plan starts with delivery, and students should understand the payment schedule in advance. Female students receive pink bikes under the scheme, along with free training, so they can ride with confidence. The training covers safe riding and basic care of the bike, and it is arranged for each batch before delivery.

- Keep your original CNIC and student card ready for verification.
- Confirm your instalment plan of Rs 3,028 per month for 36 months.
- Attend the training session arranged for your batch, which is free for female students.

Mistakes That Can Delay Your E-Bike Delivery
- Wrong contact details: if your phone number on the portal is wrong, the delivery team cannot reach you.
- Missing documents: keep your CNIC and student card ready, because verification happens before delivery.
- Trusting fake lists: no official winner list has been confirmed, so do not trust lists shared on social media.
- Paying agents: selection is through e-ballot, so never pay anyone who promises to get your name selected.
- Ignoring the portal: the official portal is the only place where the delivery date and venue will be announced.
