LAHORE(National Times)- Government of Punjab has issued a revised motor transport policy significantly increasing vehicle engine limits and fuel entitlements for senior bureaucrats across multiple grades.
The notification, issued in Lahore, allows the Chief Secretary and Inspector General of Police to retain three official vehicles — 2800cc, 1800cc and 4700cc — with two vehicles receiving 800 litres of petrol monthly, while the 4700cc vehicle will have no fuel limit. Under the revised policy, Grade 20–22 secretaries can use two vehicles (2800cc and 1800cc), while Grade 21–22 officers will receive 200 litres of petrol for personal use and unlimited fuel for official duties, marking a major increase from previous limits. The policy also revises entitlements for lower senior grades. Special secretaries and DIGs (Grades 19–20) can now use 1600cc vehicles with 250 litres of monthly fuel, while Grade 18 deputy secretaries will get 1500cc vehicles with 175 litres per month — both higher than earlier allowances. Officials say the new policy aims to improve mobility, administrative efficiency and official transport management for senior officers, replacing previous vehicle and fuel allocation rules with immediate effect.
