The Punjab government has announced new regulations to govern the registration, purchase, and transfer of government vehicles, aiming to enhance transparency, monitoring, and administrative efficiency across all relevant departments.
Under the updated policy, the purchase of electric vehicles will require prior approval from the Finance Department, while government vehicles will now be allotted exclusively to officers of grade 17 and above.
The policy also increases the monthly petrol allowance for officers by 25 liters, reflecting the government’s effort to streamline vehicle use while maintaining accountability and reducing unnecessary administrative burdens.
The registration and ownership transfer process for government vehicles has been standardised and integrated under the new system, which officials say will minimise legal disputes and prevent fraudulent or illegal transfers.

Strict supervision will now be enforced at all stages of vehicle purchase and allotment, ensuring financial transparency, limiting resource misuse, and enhancing compliance with government regulations at every administrative level.
The new policy is effective immediately, with instructions issued to relevant institutions for rigorous implementation, signalling a shift towards more accountable, monitored, and modernised management of official government transport in Punjab.
