Sasta Petrol Scheme 786
A video is going viral on social media claiming that the government has introduced a new scheme for people earning less than Rs 40,000, under which they will get a stipend of Rs 2,000 every month. In this video, an anchor of a private news channel is seen announcing this scheme, which has created hopes among the public.
But the facts are completely different. Yes dear readers this video is actually from 2022 and the then government had announced a temporary 786 petrol subsidy scheme after the increase in petrol prices. The Ministry of Finance and BISP officials have clearly confirmed that there is no such new scheme in 2025 and this viral video is just misleading.
According to BISP, at present only registered deserving people are being given their fixed amount and no additional amount or new subsidy is being given. If you were also excited after watching this video, it is better to trust only official sources and protect yourself from fake news. But is this really true? Let’s separate this guide fact from fiction.

Reality: This Scheme Was From 2022
Yes, the 786 scheme was real, but it was introduced in May 2022 by the previous government to support families hit by rising petrol prices. Around 80 lakh families were to receive Rs. 2,000 monthly. The ad circulating online is the original 2022 government poster, not a new announcement.
No New 786 Scheme in July 2025
