Independent guide — not a government website.
We explain what’s publicly known in plain language. Official applications, when open, run only through government channels. We never collect CNICs, documents, payments, or credentials.

An electric taxi you own, driving for ride-hailing apps, with government backing — that’s the idea behind the CM Punjab E-Taxi Scheme: youth employment meets electric vehicles. It’s one of the newer announcements, which means details are still emerging. Here’s what’s known, what’s not, and how to avoid getting scammed in the meantime.
The concept
- Electric taxis provided/financed for Punjab youth.
- Aimed at unemployed youth — drive it yourself on ride-hailing platforms or taxi routes.
- Aligns with the province’s EV push (same direction as the E-Bike Scheme).
What’s confirmed vs what’s not
- Confirmed: the scheme has been announced as a youth-employment + EV initiative.
- Still being verified: the dedicated application portal, exact eligibility criteria, vehicle models, financing terms, and launch timeline.
- We are tracking official announcements and will update this guide the moment the portal and terms are confirmed. Check back — or watch our Punjab schemes hub for updates.
What to do right now
- Don’t apply anywhere yet — any website currently claiming to accept E-Taxi applications is not official.
- Get your documents ready anyway: valid CNIC, driving license (you’ll almost certainly need one), Punjab domicile.
- If you’re serious about driving work, the Asaan Karobar Card (up to Rs 1M interest-free) is already live and could finance a vehicle independently.
Stay safe (important for announced-but-not-open schemes)
This is the danger window: the scheme is announced, people are excited, and scammers fill the gap with fake “pre-registration” websites collecting CNICs and “booking fees.” Rules:
- No official portal = no real application. Period.
- Never pay a “booking fee” for a scheme that hasn’t opened.
- Never submit your CNIC to unofficial “pre-registration” forms.
Quick facts
- Concept: electric taxis for Punjab youth employment
- Status: announced; portal and terms being verified
- Likely requirements: CNIC, driving license, Punjab domicile (to be confirmed)
