Question 1

Is the CM Punjab E-Taxi Scheme 2026 completely free?

Accepted Answer

No, the scheme is not free. However, it provides substantial financial support. The government subsidizes 15% of the down payment for male applicants and 60% for female applicants, offers completely interest-free installments over 5 years, and covers 100% of registration and token tax costs. You still need to pay the remaining down payment and monthly installments.

Question 2

How much money do I need to start?

Accepted Answer

The required down payment varies based on the vehicle model you choose and your gender. For a vehicle priced at PKR 6.2 million, after the government subsidy, male applicants would need approximately PKR 690,000, while female applicants would need significantly less due to the 60% subsidy. The exact amount depends on the specific vehicle model selected.

Question 3

What is the monthly installment amount?

Accepted Answer

Monthly installments vary based on the vehicle price and down payment. For a PKR 6.2 million vehicle with appropriate down payment, monthly installments are estimated at PKR 50,000-60,000 for 5 years. However, since there's no interest, you're only repaying the principal amount.

Question 4

Can women apply for this scheme?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! In fact, women are strongly encouraged to apply. The scheme reserves 30% of all vehicles specifically for women drivers and provides enhanced subsidy support (60% down payment coverage compared to 15% for men), making it more affordable for women to participate.

Question 5

Do I need a commercial driving license?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you must have a valid LTV (Light Transport Vehicle) driving license to qualify for this scheme. A regular car license is not sufficient; you need the commercial category license.
