What is the Green Credit Program?

The Green Credit Program (GCP) is a project by the Punjab government. It gives cash rewards (called green credits) to people who take steps to protect the environment. For example:

Buying and using an electric bike (instead of a petrol bike)
Planting trees
Using LED bulbs instead of normal ones

The main idea is very simple: if you do something good for the environment, the government will reward you with money.

Petrol Bike Conversion vs Buying an E-Bike

Many people are confused because some news articles said that the government will give Rs. 100,000 if you convert your petrol bike into an electric bike. But if you read the official program details, it clearly says:

This program does not convert petrol bikes into electric bikes.

Instead, you must buy a new electric bike. Only new purchases made after 20th December 2024 are valid.

So the truth is:

No money for petrol bike conversion
Money for buying and riding a new electric bike

How Does the Rs. 100,000 Reward Work?

You can get up to Rs. 100,000 in two phases:

First Phase (Rs. 50,000)
- When you buy a new electric bike and register it under your own name
- You upload your invoice and bike registration documents on the official portal
- After verification, the government pays you Rs. 50,000
Second Phase (Rs. 50,000)
- After buying the bike, you must use the official Green Credit Tracker App
- Ride your e-bike for 6,000 km within 6 months (minimum 1,000 km per month)
- The app will track your kilometers automatically
- Once you complete 6,000 km, you get another Rs. 50,000

So total reward = Rs. 50,000 + Rs. 50,000 = Rs. 100,000

How Much Money Do You Save?

Electric bikes usually cost between Rs. 200,000 – 250,000 in Punjab (depending on brand and battery size).

With this scheme:

Bike Price = Rs. 220,000 (example)
Government reward = Rs. 100,000
Final cost to you = Rs. 120,000

This makes electric bikes almost as affordable as petrol bikes, but with much lower running costs.

Other Benefits in Green Credit Program

Apart from e-bikes, you can also earn rewards by:

Planting Trees: Citizens can get free saplings in Lahore by calling 1399. Trees will be mapped and monitored using Australian technology.
LED Lights: Switching from old bulbs to LED lights saves electricity and gives you green credits.

Why Is the Government Doing This?

Lahore and Punjab have very bad air pollution and smog problems.
Petrol bikes are one of the biggest reasons for air pollution.
Electric bikes produce no smoke, no noise, and are cheaper to run.
Planting trees and using LED lights also reduce carbon emissions.

The goal is to make Punjab greener, healthier, and cleaner.
