There is some great news for you if you are a student at a college or university in Punjab and are tired of having trouble getting around every day. The Punjab government has officially started the Punjab E-Bike Scheme 2026 to give students cheap and easy-to-use transportation.
Thousands of electric and gas-powered bikes are being given out as part of this program, thanks to the orders of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif. The bikes can be paid for in very small monthly installments. This article will show you how to apply from home, who can apply, and what the monthly payment plan looks like.

The Punjab Government’s Plan for Student Movement
The rising cost of gas has made it hard for students in Punjab to get around. To fix this, CM Maryam Nawaz has made this program for young people bigger. This year, there is a special quota for students in both urban and rural areas. The goal isn’t just to give someone a ride; it’s also to make “Green Punjab” by cutting down on pollution. So, the government is giving a lot of money to electric bikes to get students to choose eco-friendly travel.

- Domicile: You must live in any district in Punjab.

- A valid motorcycle driving license or at least a learner’s permit is required.

E-Bike Scheme Selection and Balloting System
The Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) does an open e-balloting (computerized lucky draw) when there are more applications than bikes, which is usually the case. This system makes sure that everyone gets what they deserve without showing favoritism. You will get a text message if your name is drawn. After that, you will need to go to a specific Bank of Punjab (BOP) branch to finish your paperwork.
