The Punjab government, led by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has started a new program in 2025 to help teachers get free or affordable bikes, including electric bikes (e-bikes). This scheme aims to make it easier for teachers, especially women, to travel to work and schools without worrying about high transport costs.

It also supports clean energy by promoting electric bikes, which are better for the environment. The government is focusing on fairness and ease by letting teachers apply online and using a fair lottery system to decide who gets the bikes.

This initiative is part of Punjab’s plan to make transportation cheaper and greener while supporting teachers and students. The project offers easy monthly payment plans with no extra interest.

It pays part of the bike’s cost upfront, so teachers don’t have to pay all at once. The program also sets aside special quotas for women and teachers from rural areas to make sure everyone gets a fair chance.

What is the CM Punjab Free Bikes Scheme?

The scheme gives teachers and students in Punjab either petrol bikes or electric bikes at low prices through government help. It is made to help young people, especially teachers, get an easy and affordable way to travel.

The government works with banks and bike companies to provide these bikes at cheaper prices and with easy payment plans. The application and selection process is done online and is designed to be clear and fair.

Who Can Apply?

Not every teacher qualifies for this scheme. The Punjab government has set clear conditions to ensure the bikes reach those who need them most.

You must meet the following requirements:

Teachers who live in Punjab and have a valid address proof.
Aged between 18 and 35 years.
Employed as a teacher in a school, college, or university in Punjab.
Must have a motorcycle learner’s permit or a driving license.
Priority is given to female teachers and those from less wealthy families or rural areas.
Applicants should not already own a government-subsidized bike or vehicle.
You must not have received a free bike or vehicle under any previous government scheme.
Your service record should be clean with no major disciplinary issues.

Teachers working in private schools or those who already own a motorcycle may not be eligible. The final selection will be based on a merit and need-based system.
