Last updated: 3 November 2026 (Asia/Karachi). Official hub: Transport Department E-Taxi page. The dedicated portal e-taxi.punjab.gov.pk did not load from our checker today, so we do not state that registration is open.
Punjab’s e taxi program online registration drew huge search interest after the province announced electric taxis for drivers and fleets. The honest status on 3 November 2026 is this: the Transport Department still publishes an E-Taxi section with forms and notices, while the live register portal could not be confirmed open from our side. Do not trust third party pages that invent a fresh 2026 deadline. Open only government addresses ending in .gov.pk.
E taxi program online registration status
When e taxi program online registration first opened, applicants were told to use e-taxi.punjab.gov.pk. Coverage of that first window repeatedly cited 5 October 2025 as the last date shown on the portal. Later secondary write ups described the register page as closed. On 3 November 2026 we could not load e-taxi.punjab.gov.pk to re-read the banner, so this article does not claim a new open round and does not invent a 2026 edition. Bookmark the portal and the Transport Department page, then believe only what those pages show.

What the programme is
The Punjab e-taxi programme is part of the province’s cleaner urban transport push under the Chief Minister’s green transport vision. Scheme materials describe supported electric taxis for drivers and fleet operators, with Bank of Punjab in the financing story and the Transport and Mass Transit Department as the policy owner. Exact subsidy percentages, vehicle models, women quotas, and balloting rules belong on the official portal FAQ and PDFs when they are readable, not on random blogs that quietly change last year’s numbers.
How to apply when the portal is open
Only follow these steps if e-taxi.punjab.gov.pk shows an open register form for e taxi program online registration:
- Open the official portal on a .gov.pk address.
- Create a login with your own CNIC and mobile number.
- Choose the category the form offers (individual driver or fleet, as listed).
- Select one approved vehicle model if the form requires it.
- Upload CNIC and driving licence scans exactly as asked. A learner permit is typically not enough when a full licence is required.
- Submit and save your reference. If demand exceeds supply, official materials have described e-balloting.
- If selected, complete Bank of Punjab steps only through channels the portal names.
We are not reprinting unofficial loan ceilings or equity shares here because those figures must come from the live portal or a Transport Department PDF you can open yourself.
Documents on the Transport site
The Transport Department E-Taxi page currently lists items such as Registration of Entities/Electric Cars (PDF and editable Word), an E-Taxi queries/clarifications MoM PDF, an advertisement for EV charging stations, and a newspaper advertisement for the E-Taxi scheme. Download those from the government domain only. They help fleet or entity questions even while individual e taxi program online registration is closed or unreachable.
What to prepare while you wait
- Keep your CNIC permanent address details accurate if you claim Punjab residency.
- Renew an expiring motor car, LTV, or HTV licence before a new window opens.
- Scan clear colour copies of CNIC and licence to a phone folder.
- Use your own mobile number; do not borrow a dealer’s SIM for OTP messages.
- Read the Transport Department clarification PDF so you know which entity questions are already answered.
Scam warnings
- No registration fee belongs on WhatsApp.
- Clone sites that swap .gov.pk for .com or shop domains are not the portal.
- “Guaranteed ballot win” sellers are fraud.
- If a browser warns about a certificate on the real .gov.pk host, compare the address carefully and prefer a known government network when possible.
- Ignore countdown widgets on private blogs that quietly rewrite 2025 dates as 2026.
FAQs
Is Punjab e-taxi online registration open right now?
Check e-taxi.punjab.gov.pk yourself. From our 3 November 2026 check the portal did not load, so we do not claim it is open. The Transport Department still hosts an E-Taxi page with scheme documents.
What was the published last date for the first round?
Public scheme coverage and portal countdown material pointed to 5 October 2025 as the application last date for that round. We are not inventing a 2026 reopen date.
Who runs the scheme?
It is a Punjab government electric taxi initiative linked to the Transport and Mass Transit Department, with Bank of Punjab financing described in scheme materials.
Where are official documents?
On transport.punjab.gov.pk under E-Taxi, including registration of entities documents, a clarification MoM PDF, and scheme advertisements.
Should I pay an agent to register me?
No. Use only the official portal when it is open. Ignore WhatsApp fees and fake clone sites.
What about older Insight Pakistan e-taxi posts?
Use this page for registration status and the Transport Department links. Older launch posts may describe announcements without the later closed window.
Can non Punjab CNIC holders apply?
Scheme materials described Punjab residency expectations. Read the live portal FAQ when it loads rather than trusting a blog table.
Is there a registration fee on the official portal?
Official communications framed portal registration as a government process. Anyone demanding a private fee is not the portal.
