How the Scheme Works
The student meeting the defined criteria of the scheme will apply for the bike on the bike scheme web portal. Only Regular students of HEC’s recognized University or Degree College may apply for the scheme.
Upon completion of balloting, the bank shall inform the applicants about the ballot result if the application is approved or rejected through SMS on their registered mobile number. Later the bank will call the applicant to inform about the approval and completion of facility approval formalities and documentation.
The last date for submission of the online applications is April 29, 2024. Upon closure of the application submission, Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) will carry out the balloting process.
A grievance redressal mechanism is devised and available on the web portal for the applicant’s grievances. The applicants may also approach through the helpline at 042-111-333-267 or by sending an email to [email protected].

Bank’s SOP for Processing of the Case under GOP Bike Scheme
The bank’s motive is to secure its money and ensure timely repayments of a facility. The Bank of Punjab is following the below-mentioned guidelines for processing of the facility under GoP’s Bike Scheme.
- A co-borrower or guarantor is required under the scheme because the students generally have no income source to repay the installment amount. It’s the co-borrower or guarantor who will be paying the scheme installments.
- As per scheme terms, the student will be the secondary borrower and his co-borrower/guarantor will be the primary borrower, whose income is used for the calculation of debt burden. The co-borrower/guarantor can be the Spouse, Parents, or Siblings of the applicant. Where the applicant/student has his own source of income, no co-borrower or guarantor is required. An expat/overseas Pakistani cannot be the co-borrower or guarantor.
- The co-borrower or guarantor or the applicant himself must have a source of income to repay the monthly installment
Formal and Informal Income Sources Acertained by the Bank
Source of income includes the formal and informal income that the applicant’s co-borrower/guarantor earns through different sources:
- Income from Salary
- Business Income
- Income from Agriculture Resources
- Rent Income of Land or Property
- Professional (Doctors, Lawyers Etc.) Self Employed Income
- Any other source of Income
Both formal and informal sources of income are acceptable under the scheme for the calculating Debt Burden of the applicant’s financial guarantor/co-borrower. A formal source of income is verifiable by Bank Statement, Income Tax Returns, Audited financial statements, or Any Rent Deed.
Any income, not verifiable by any of these means is classified as informal income. To verify the informal income the bank will require paid utility bills, education fee receipts of the children, sale/purchase invoices for shopkeepers or small businesses, and a salary certificate from the employer if the salary is paid in cash or other than bank account. The bank then will evaluate the informal income and will get it verified through 3rd party arrangements.
Documentary Requirements for GoP’s Bike Scheme
The student along with co-borrower/guarantor will have to complete the following formalities:
- Opening of loan facility account with the Bank of Punjab
- Signing of FOL (Facility Offer Letter) of the loan
- Deposit of the Down Payment of related advance payments
- Completion and Signing of Charge or Legal Documents
Information Required from the Co-Borrower/Guarantor
The co-borrower or guarantor under the scheme will be required to provide the following information for processing of the case:
- Co-Borrower’s or Guarantor’s Personal Information
- The details of income and sources
- The details of all loan facilities availed with monthly installments being paid for calculation of debt burden
Debt Burden Ratio and Its Calculations
For every loan facility, the bank calculates the Debt Burden/Repayment capacity of the borrower to ensure timely payment of the installments. To do this banks use the following formula for the calculation of Debt Burden Ratio (DBR).
DBR = (Total Current Monthly Installments + Additional Bike Monthly Installment) / Total Disposable Income * 100
For a borrower who is paying 10,000 existing monthly installments and will also be paying a bike installment of Rs. 11,676 from the coming month and has a disposable income of Rs.60,000. His DBR will be calculated as follows:
DBR = (10,000+11,676)/60,000 * 100 = 21,676/60000 * 100 = 36.12%
The maximum acceptable DBR is 40% for a borrower under the scheme as set by the regulator/SBP for consumer finance.
Booking, Delivery, Insurance, and Installments Payments
Upon receiving a booking order from the Bank of Punjab, the bike dealer will either book a bike for a tentative delivery date or will provide the Bank with the chassis and engine number if the bike is available with him. The bank will arrange the insurance of the bike and hand over the delivery order to the student so that he/she may receive it from the concerned bike dealer.
The bike shall be insured by the Bank of Punjab as per Bank’s rules. The first-year insurance premium will be paid in advance along with the down payment, while the 2nd year premium will be included in the 1st year installments. The purpose is to secure the bike against theft or accidental damage.
The applicant has to pay the loan installment monthly by depositing the installment amount in his borrower/co-borrower loan account. The late payment charges will be applied in case of delay in payment of installment after the due date.
After completion of the term or adjustment of the loan facility, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) will be issued to the student for getting the vehicle sole ownership without any lien of the bank. The student then can sell or transfer the bike to some person.
Payment of Markup by GoP for the Bike Scheme
The monthly markup amount of the installment will be paid by the Government of Punjab and the applicant just have to pay the principal amount of monthly installment. Additionally, GoP is paying Rs.20,000 as an equity contribution in the shape of a down payment.
The student must not miss the opportunity and apply for the bike facility today and save their money for future.
