Maximum Financing

The maximum financing for electric bikes in this program goes up to Rs. 250,000, while for petrol bikes, it is up to Rs. 150,000. If a student picks a bike that costs more than these amounts, they will need to pay the extra money directly to the program once they’re approved by BOP. The Punjab government will pay for bikes that exceed these set prices. Students must choose their bikes from the options listed on the website.

Installment Plan Details

The monthly installment and advanced or down payment depend on the selected bike and its market price. For instance, if you select a motorcycle that costs Rs. 150,000, you will need to pay 30% upfront equity. However, since the Punjab government is offering a special relief of Rs. 20,000, you will only need to deposit Rs. 25,000, and the remaining amount will be paid by the government.

Installment Period

The installment period for the Punjab E-Bike Scheme is 2 years.
