Checks can be done online through www.budimadani.gov.my, at BUDI95 customer service centres or on the Setel and CaltexGO apps (after identity verification), he said, and users need only enter their identification card number on the website to know their eligible quota.
“The portal will be a permanent system. From Sept 30, all subsidy use will be displayed daily, including the remaining eligibility. The eligibility is 300 litres a month,” he said at a media conference here today, adding that users need not register as qualification will be done automatically based on the identification card number.
Users need only enter their MyKad into the reader at the pump or counter of the petrol station to confirm their eligibility, he added.
“After that, payment can be made by cash, debit or credit card or e-wallet and via app. After filling up, a receipt showing the transaction value at the price of the pump, the value of subsidy borne by the government and total paid by the user at RM1.99,” he said, adding the quota would remain at 300 litres a month and any use over the quota would be at current market price.
“Almost all petrol stations have been equipped with readers to confirm eligibility while several fuel companies are offering the facility on their apps, such as Setel and Touch ’n Go.
“Through this effort, the government hopes to simplify the process without inconveniencing the public to ensure that subsidies reach those who are eligible and to reduce leakages and boost savings for the government,” he added.– BERNAMA
