Phase 2 application deadline: October 4, 2026
This phase of the CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme opened for applications on 4-5 September 2026 and, within two days, had already drawn far more applications than the 100,000 e-bikes available. If you're weighing whether you still have time to apply, here's exactly what's been confirmed about the deadline and what happens once it passes.
The one fact that matters most
Applications close on October 4, 2026. This date was confirmed by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz as the deadline for this phase. Nothing official has been announced about an extension.
What's confirmed so far
- Applications for this phase opened on 4-5 September 2026 at bikes.punjab.gov.pk, covering 100,000 e-bikes.
- Within the first two days, applications had already crossed 432,000 — more than four times the bikes available this phase.
- The Chief Minister has confirmed the application window closes on 4 October 2026.
- The government's stated target is to hand over bikes within six weeks of an application being approved.
These dates come from public government statements and reporting. Always confirm the current deadline on bikes.punjab.gov.pk before you finalise your plans, in case it's updated.
What happens after the deadline closes
Once applications close, the Bank of Punjab verifies submitted documents. Because demand has already outstripped the 100,000 bikes on offer this phase, a computerised random ballot is expected to decide who's selected — the same process used in earlier phases when applications exceeded supply. Results are sent by SMS to the mobile number used at registration and published on the official portal. No one — not a website, an agent, or anyone claiming to help — can influence or guarantee the outcome of that ballot.

Frequently asked questions
When is the deadline to apply for this phase of the e-bike scheme?
October 4, 2026. This was confirmed by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz as the closing date for applications in the current 100,000-bike phase, which opened on 4-5 September 2026.
Is there any way to apply after October 4?
Nothing official has been announced about a late-application window or an extension. If you haven't applied yet, the safest assumption is that the window closes on the confirmed date, and any future phase would be announced separately on bikes.punjab.gov.pk.
What happens after applications close on October 4?
Submitted applications go through document verification by the Bank of Punjab. Because applications had already crossed 432,000 within the first two days for the 100,000 bikes available this phase, a computerised random ballot is expected to decide selection, with results sent by SMS and posted on the official portal.
How long after the deadline will bikes be handed out?
The government's stated target is to deliver bikes within six weeks of an application being approved, though the exact pace will depend on how verification and the ballot proceed.
I haven't applied yet. What should I do right now?
If you meet the eligibility requirements and have your documents ready, apply at bikes.punjab.gov.pk before October 4. See our eligibility and documents guides for exactly what you need before you start.
