Overview
- Sindh’s programme, which opened Monday through the Excise portal, pays Rs2,000 per month to motorcycle owners registered in their own name with funds sent to verified bank accounts.
- Officials reported about 15,000 applications and roughly 2,800 payments processed so far, with claims routed to Sindh Bank for IBAN and account‑title checks before transfer.
- The Excise portal faced hacking attempts Tuesday that forced a brief shutdown, and ministers said services were secured and registration resumed after fixes.
- To speed sign‑ups, Sindh scrapped the Rs500 transfer fee, kept Excise offices open until midnight with a helpline, and Islamabad waived bike transfer fees for one month with 24‑hour counters.
- The federal plan points to direct disbursement through digital wallets or banks with provinces reported to pool about Rs200 billion for three months, alongside fare‑stabilising support for transporters and Rs1,500‑per‑acre relief for small farmers.
