Got “Ineligible” for BUDI95? Here’s What To Do

If you’ve just checked the official BUDI95 portal and saw the word “ineligible” pop up when applying for the RM1.99/litre subsidised RON95, don’t panic. Most of the time, it’s just a small data mismatch that you can easily sort out.

Here’s how you can fix it:

1. Check the reason given

• The first thing you should do is read the explanation on the portal.

• The system will tell you exactly why you’re marked as ineligible. That reason is the clue to your next step.

2. Identify where to go

Depending on the reason, you’ll need to head to either:

JPJ (Road Transport Department) – if it’s anything to do with your driving licence.

Examples:

• Licence expired or inactive

• Wrong licence class/type

• No record of an active licence in the system

JPN (National Registration Department) – if the issue is linked to your MyKad.

Examples:

• Errors in the central database

• MyKad number needs further verification

3. Update your records

• When visiting the correct department, remember to bring your MyKad and driving licence.

• Just let the counter staff know you’re updating your details for the BUDI95 subsidy programme. They’ll help you check, correct, and update the system.

4. Re-check your eligibility

After the officer confirms everything is updated, return to the BUDI95 portal and check again.

Once the government’s central database refreshes, your status should change to “eligible”.

And that’s it! A few quick steps and you should be back on track to enjoy the RM1.99/litre RON95 subsidy.
