The PAVE (Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification) program has launched a new drive to help people get electric bikes, e-rickshaws, and loaders at subsidized rates. But since many people apply, the government uses balloting (a lottery/draw) to pick winners. After the draw, applicants need to check their result to see if they were selected and then verify their status. In this article, you’ll find a complete, step-by-step guide—written in clear, simple language—on how to check the PAVE balloting result and verify your status online.
1. What is PAVE & Why the Balloting
PAVE stands for Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification Program. Under the New Energy Vehicle Policy 2025-30, the government wants to shift many vehicles to electric to reduce pollution, save fuel costs, and promote green energy use
Because so many people apply, not everyone can get a subsidy or vehicle in the first round. To keep things fair, the government uses electronic balloting (a digital lottery) to select whom to benefit.
2. Key Facts About the E-Bike Scheme
Before checking your result, it helps to know the scheme’s basic facts:
- The scheme covers electric bikes, e-rickshaws, and 3-wheeler loaders.
- Age eligibility for e-bikes: 18 to 65 years.
- For rickshaws and loaders, often a higher minimum age or additional requirements may apply.
- Subsidy amounts:
- Bikes: ~ Rs 50,000 for those using bank leasing or agreed financing.
- Three-wheel vehicles: ranges up to ~ Rs 200,000 (or more) depending on scenario.
- In the first round (2025), among many applications, 40,000 electric bikes and 1,000 three-wheelers were to be distributed.
- The balloting is supervised via an oversight committee to ensure fairness.

7. Real-Life Example / Scenario
Imagine Sara, a 20-year-old student, applies for an electric bike under PAVE. She logs in at the portal, submits her CNIC, student ID, and other documents before the deadline. The draw occurs on October 1st. After the balloting, she logs in again with her CNIC and sees “Selected — Congratulations!”. She visits the designated bank with her original CNIC, signs the installment agreement, and then a week later, her e-bike is delivered to her from the nearby dealer. Sara then registers the bike at her local transport office.
If instead she had seen “Not Selected”, she would wait for the next drawing and try again.
