KARACHI: The Sindh government has warned citizens not to share personal details or make any payments related to the Pink Scooty Scheme, clarifying that scooties are being given completely free of cost to eligible women.
In a public alert issued through the Sindh Information Department’s official X (Twitter) account, the government cautioned people about fake social media posts and online advertisements circulating on various platforms about the scheme.
According to the statement, the government has taken serious notice of fraudulent messages claiming that applicants must register or make online payments to get scooties. “All such messages are fake and misleading,” the post clarified.
The Pink Scooty Scheme, launched by the Sindh government, aims to empower women and promote safe and independent travel. Under this welfare initiative, eligible women will receive scooties free of charge.
Authorities have urged citizens not to trust any unofficial websites, links, or social media accounts claiming to represent the scheme. People have also been advised to rely only on official communication channels and verified government pages for accurate information.

About the Sindh Govt Pink Scooty Scheme:
In February, the Sindh government announced the Pink Scooty Scheme, offering free “pink scooters” to women through a lucky draw system. The initiative follows the successful launch of the Pink Bus Service in 2023, dedicated to female commuters.
Last month, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari handed over keys to the beneficiaries of the program. “It is a matter of pride that Sindh introduced electric buses in public transport and then launched a dedicated Pink Bus Service for women,” Bilawal said.
The scheme remains open for eligible applicants who are permanent residents of Sindh, hold a valid driving licence, and are either employed or enrolled in an educational institution.
