Pakistan Post has reduced the monthly fuel allowance for postmen and delivery agents across the country, introducing a uniform fuel allocation for all mail delivery staff. The revised policy replaces the previous category-based system under which employees received different fuel quotas depending on their role and location.
Under the new policy approved by the Director General of Pakistan Post, every postman and delivery agent will now receive 30 litres of fuel per month. The department said the revised allocation will apply equally to all personnel involved in mail delivery operations throughout the country.
Previously, postmen were entitled to 35 litres of fuel each month. Delivery agents, meanwhile, received 60 litres in major cities and 50 litres in smaller cities due to the larger distances covered during daily operations. The new policy significantly reduces these allocations while standardizing the fuel quota nationwide.
Pakistan Post said the move is aimed at implementing a single fuel policy across all regional offices. The department did not provide specific reasons for the reduction but confirmed that the revised allocation has been approved for immediate implementation.
In a separate directive, the Director General instructed all postmasters general to clear pending fuel reimbursement claims on a priority basis once funds for the fiscal year 2026-27 become available. Officials have been directed to ensure that outstanding payments are processed without unnecessary delays.
The revised fuel policy will be implemented across all Pakistan Post circles, including Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Multan, Hyderabad, Quetta and Muzaffarabad. Employees in all regions will now receive the same monthly fuel allocation regardless of their city or operational category.
Pakistan Post remains one of the country’s largest public service institutions, providing postal, parcel and financial services nationwide. The latest policy change is expected to affect thousands of postmen and delivery agents responsible for handling mail distribution across urban and rural areas.
