Bangladesh Fuel Pass: the QR system for buying fuel

Bangladesh's Fuel Pass is a QR-code system for buying fuel, launched as a pilot on April 9, 2026 by the Energy and Mineral Resources Division and implemented by the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC). Instead of queuing and manual records, you register your vehicle once, get a QR code, and show it at the pump — the station scans it and the transaction is recorded digitally. This site is an independent guide — not the official system.

How it works

Each registered vehicle gets a unique QR code linked to its registration. At participating filling stations, the operator scans your code before dispensing fuel, and the system logs how much that vehicle took. A central dashboard lets authorities monitor distribution in real time — the point is to curb repeat collections by the same individuals, which had been creating artificial shortages despite adequate supply.

The system is integrated with the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) database, so fuel allocation is tied to actual vehicle registration — not whoever shows up with a jerry can. You can also view your allocated quota through the system before you go.

Who can register right now

The pilot phase started with motorcycles in Dhaka, at two filling stations: Trust Filling Station near Bijoy Sarani (Tejgaon) and Sonar Bangla Filling Station at Asad Gate. On April 18, 2026, the pilot expanded to seven more districts — covering motorcycles registered in Dhaka, Dhaka Metro, Chandpur, Chittagong, Chittagong Metro, Barisal, Barisal Metro, Khulna, Khulna Metro, Rajshahi, Rajshahi Metro, and Mymensingh — plus 11 more pumps in the capital (including stations at Mohakhali, Airport, Tejgaon Industrial Area, Mirpur, Gabtali, and Uttara).

The plan is to expand nationwide to all vehicle types if the pilot succeeds. Our registration walkthrough covers the current step-by-step process.

How to register

1. Go to the official site at fuelpass.gov.bd (or use the Fuel Pass app).
2. Register with your vehicle details — the QR code is linked to your BRTA vehicle registration.
3. Receive your unique QR code.
4. At the pump, show the code; the operator scans it and dispenses fuel against your quota.

No smartphone? No problem. You can register through the website and download or print your QR code — a printout works the same as the app at the pump.

Why the government built this

The context matters. Despite adequate national supply, filling stations were seeing long queues — partly manual-process inefficiency, partly individuals queuing repeatedly to collect more than their needs, creating artificial shortages. The Fuel Pass attacks both: digital records replace paper logs, and vehicle-linked quotas make repeat hoarding visible. The central dashboard gives authorities real-time nationwide supply monitoring, which is the kind of thing that matters most during global energy uncertainty.

Problems and fixes

Pilots have rough edges. The common ones so far: QR codes not scanning at the pump (usually a print quality or screen brightness issue), registration details not matching BRTA records, quota confusion, and stations where staff are still learning the system. Our problems and fixes guide collects the workarounds that actually work — including what to do when the scanner fails and you're already at the pump.

Watch out for fakes

Any new government system spawns imitators. Rules:

• The official site is fuelpass.gov.bd. Anything else claiming to register your vehicle is suspect.
• Registration is free. Anyone charging a "Fuel Pass fee" is scamming you.
• No official process asks for your bKash/Nagad PIN or OTP. Ever.
• Only download the app from official store listings — not from links forwarded on Facebook or WhatsApp.

FAQ

Is Fuel Pass mandatory? During the pilot, it applies at participating stations for covered vehicle types. Wider mandates would come with official announcements — don't trust rumors.

Does it limit how much fuel I can buy? The system tracks allocation per vehicle against quotas. The quota rules are set by the authorities; the app shows you yours.

I lost my QR code — what now? Re-download it from fuelpass.gov.bd. It's tied to your registration, not to a piece of paper.

Will it come to cars / CNG / other districts? That's the stated plan if the pilot succeeds — motorcycles first, then broader rollout. Watch official announcements, not speculation.

Does the pump attendant see my personal data? They see what the scan needs to dispense fuel. Your full registration details aren't displayed to every attendant.

The bottom line

Fuel Pass is a sensible fix for a real problem: manual distribution plus hoarding equals artificial shortages. Register once at fuelpass.gov.bd, keep your QR handy (printed backup recommended), and check your quota before you ride out. Pilots are bumpy — but the direction is right.

The quota system, explained

The QR code isn't just an ID — it's linked to an allocation. The system tracks how much fuel each registered vehicle takes, against quotas set by the authorities. This is the anti-hoarding mechanism: the same vehicle can't cycle through the queue five times anymore, because the system sees all five scans. For honest users, the practical effect is minimal — normal refueling patterns fit comfortably within allocations. The system is aimed at the repeat collectors who manufactured the artificial shortages, not at ordinary riders.

Check your quota in the app or on fuelpass.gov.bd before heading out, especially during tight-supply periods. Knowing your remaining allocation beats discovering it at the pump.

What expansion looks like

The pilot's success criteria are straightforward: does digital tracking actually reduce irregularities without strangling legitimate access? The April 18 expansion to seven more districts and eleven more Dhaka pumps suggests the early signals were positive. Full nationwide rollout across all vehicle types is the stated goal — which will bring cars, buses, and trucks into the same QR system. Expect the registration process to stay the same (BRTA-linked QR via fuelpass.gov.bd) while the station network grows. Watch official announcements for your district; don't trust "it's mandatory everywhere now" rumors until BPC says so.

Quick-start checklist

• Register at fuelpass.gov.bd with your BRTA-linked vehicle details.
• Save your QR code in the app and as a printed backup.
• Check your quota before riding to the pump.
• Use participating stations — the pilot network is still growing.
• Never pay for registration, and never share mobile-banking PINs or OTPs.
