You check your BUDI95 eligibility for free at budi95.gov.my (also reachable via budimadani.gov.my) — no registration required. Just enter your MyKad number, clear the captcha, and the portal tells you instantly whether you qualify for RM1.99/litre RON95. Below is the full walkthrough, plus how to check your remaining monthly quota and what to do if the result says you're not eligible.
What BUDI95 Actually Does
BUDI Madani RON95 (BUDI95) is the government's targeted fuel subsidy that replaced the old blanket RON95 price ceiling. Instead of everyone paying the same subsidised rate regardless of income, the system checks your MyKad and driving licence status at the pump — or online beforehand — before letting you buy RON95 at RM1.99/litre. Anything beyond your monthly quota, or any purchase by someone who fails the check, gets charged at the floating market rate instead.
As of April 2026, the standard monthly quota sits at 200 litres, down from the original 300 litres at launch in September 2025, following a government adjustment tied to global oil costs. Registered full-time e-hailing and delivery riders get a higher tiered allowance, verified through APAD, that can reach up to 800 litres a month for high-mileage drivers.
How to Check Your BUDI95 Eligibility Online
This is the quick check — it only tells you yes or no, and takes under a minute.
- Go to
budi95.gov.myon your phone or browser. - Look for the BUDI Madani RON95 section and select the link to check eligibility.
- Click
Semak Kelayakan Individu("Check Individual Eligibility"). - Type in your MyKad (IC) number with no spaces or dashes, and complete the captcha if prompted.
- Click
Semak Kelayakan("Check Eligibility") to see your result.
Heads up: as of writing, the portal has no English toggle — it runs in Malay only. The fields are self-explanatory even if you don't read Malay fluently, but Semak Kelayakan is the button you're after.
You can also check through Setel, which shows your eligibility and remaining balance under its BUDI95 tab, or through Touch 'n Go eWallet, which surfaces the same check when you tap "Buy Fuel" at a petrol station.
How to Check Your Remaining Quota and Transaction History
The quick check above only confirms eligibility — it won't show how much of your monthly quota you've used, or flag if someone else pumped fuel using your MyKad. For that, you need to log in properly.
- Visit
budi95.gov.myand tapLog Masuk(Log In) at the top right. - Sign in using your MyDigital ID — download the app first from the Apple App Store, Google Play, or Huawei AppGallery if you haven't already.
- First-time users will be asked to verify their email address.
- Once logged in, your remaining BUDI95 balance for the month is shown on the main screen.
- Tap
Sejarah Transaksi(Transaction History) to see every subsidised purchase — date, time, station, litres, and amount.
This is worth doing if your fuel bill looks off, or if you're not sure whether your quota resets on the calendar month (it does, on the 1st, and unused litres don't carry over).
Who Qualifies for BUDI95
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Citizenship | Malaysian citizen with a valid MyKad and working microchip |
| Age | 16 years old and above |
| Driving licence | Valid Competent, Probationary, or Learner Driving Licence (CDL/PDL/LDL) registered with JPJ |
| Licence expiry | Expired for up to 3 years still counts as "active" for BUDI95 purposes, though you legally can't drive on it |
| Vehicle | Malaysian-registered vehicle only — foreign-plated vehicles cannot buy RON95 at any price |
There's no income means-test built into the online check itself — it's licence and citizenship-based, not a BR1M-style income tier.
What to Do If You're Not Eligible
If the portal says you don't qualify, it's almost always one of two things:
- Your driving licence record is the problem. If it's expired beyond the cut-off, suspended, or the class doesn't match what's on file, you'll need to sort it out with JPJ directly — through the MyJPJ app or a JPJ counter — before rechecking.
- Your MyKad number isn't found or doesn't match. This usually means an outdated record. Head to the nearest National Registration Department (JPN) counter to verify and update your details.
You can still buy RON95 while you sort this out — you'll simply pay the unsubsidised floating rate at the pump instead of RM1.99/litre.
One myth worth clearing up: unpaid traffic summonses alone do not disqualify you from BUDI95. The Ministry of Transport confirmed in December 2025 that summons records and subsidy eligibility run on separate systems — only your MyKad and licence status matter for the online check.
FAQ
Do I need to register for BUDI95?
No. Eligibility is checked automatically using your MyKad number — there's no separate sign-up or application for the standard 200-litre quota.
Is the BUDI95 eligibility check free?
Yes, checking your eligibility on budi95.gov.my, via Setel, or via Touch 'n Go eWallet costs nothing.
What happens if I exceed my 200-litre monthly quota?
Once your quota is used up, the pump automatically switches to the unsubsidised market rate for any further purchases that month. Your quota resets on the 1st of the following month and unused litres don't roll over.
Can e-hailing or delivery riders get a higher quota?
Yes. Verified full-time e-hailing and delivery drivers are assessed on monthly mileage through APAD and can qualify for a higher tiered allowance, up to 800 litres a month for the highest-mileage tier.
My licence just expired — am I still eligible?
Usually yes, for up to three years past expiry, but you cannot legally drive on an expired licence. Renew it at JPJ as soon as possible; if it's expired beyond three years, you'll need to retake the driving test before the BUDI95 check will clear you.
For more on how the subsidy itself has changed since launch, see our breakdown of BUDI95's 2026 changes. If you need to renew an expired licence before your next check, here's how to renew your driving licence online. And since logging in for quota history now runs through MyDigital ID, it's worth having that set up before you need it at the pump.
