Every eligible Malaysian now gets 300 litres of subsidised fuel a month — RON 95 at RM 1.99/litre and diesel at RM 2.10/litre. The obvious question: how do you know how many litres you have left? This guide lists every official way to check your remaining BUDI quota — via the portal, apps, or right at the petrol station.
What Is the 300-Litre BUDI Quota?
From 1 September 2026, every individual eligible under BUDI 95 receives a basic entitlement of 300 litres a month at the subsidised price. Eligibility is based on your MyKad and a valid JPJ driving licence — not your income level. From 1 July 2026, the same quota also covers BUDI Diesel: subsidised RON 95 and subsidised diesel purchases are now drawn from one shared balance.
From 300 to 200 and Back to 300 Litres
BUDI 95 launched in September 2025 with a 300-litre monthly cap. On 1 April 2026 it was cut to 200 litres. In his Merdeka eve address on 30 August 2026, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced the cap would be restored to 300 litres from 1 September 2026 (Finance Ministry press release, 31 August 2026). The change was applied automatically — no reapplication needed — for about 16 million BUDI95 users and more than 700,000 BUDI Diesel users.
According to Finance Ministry data, average monthly consumption sits at only around 100 litres — so most drivers stay well under the 300-litre cap.
The quota resets to 300 litres every month. Unused litres do not carry over to the next month, so there is no benefit in “saving up” quota.
How to Check Your Remaining Quota
Method 1: The Budi Madani portal (most complete). The official online check is at budimadani.gov.my:
- Go to the budimadani.gov.my portal and open the checking section.
- Enter your MyKad details.
- The system displays your eligibility status and this month's remaining quota.
- According to reports, you can also view your list of subsidised transactions — tap any transaction for the time, date and location.
Method 2: Fuel apps. The Setel app shows your monthly eligible balance — tap the “RON95 @ RM1.99” icon on the home screen. CaltexGO and TNG eWallet also offer balance checks, and the figure updates automatically after every fill-up.
Method 3: At the station. After MyKad verification, your receipt shows the litres charged at the subsidised price. According to reports, some counters and terminals also display your remaining quota during verification.
What Counts Against the Quota?
Since 1 July 2026, every litre of RON 95 at RM 1.99 and every litre of diesel at RM 2.10 is deducted from the same 300-litre balance — it is one shared allowance, not 300 litres per fuel. Example: buy 220 litres of RON 95 and 80 litres of diesel in the same month — your quota is used up.
What does not touch your quota: RON 97, and any petrol or diesel bought at the full market price. Commercial vehicles run on separate schemes — SKPS for commercial RON 95 and SKDS for fleet diesel — and do not consume your individual quota.
What Happens When the Quota Runs Out?
There is no penalty — you simply pay the floating market price for the next litres. This week that means RM 4.32/litre for RON 95 and RM 5.07/litre for diesel, and these prices change weekly. The gap is substantial: RM 2.33/litre for RON 95 and RM 2.97/litre for diesel. Your balance returns to 300 litres the following month.
Extra 100 Litres for Diesel Pick-ups & Jeeps
Owners of private diesel pick-up trucks and jeeps who genuinely need more — long-distance travel or interior areas, for instance — can apply for an extra 100 litres via budimadani.gov.my or, according to reports, at the nearest LHDN office. It is granted only after approval, bringing the total to 400 litres a month (300 + 100). Owners already approved were adjusted to 400 litres automatically.
For RON 95, there is no quota top-up application — the Finance Ministry has confirmed that claims of such an application are untrue.
Tips to Stretch Your 300 Litres
- Check your balance before a full tank late in the month — avoid unknowingly going over quota.
- Prioritise the fuel with the bigger gap. This week diesel saves RM 2.97/litre versus RM 2.33/litre for RON 95 — relevant for households with both a petrol and a diesel car.
- Drive efficiently: correct tyre pressure, less dead weight, and combine errands into one trip.
- Watch for odd transactions. Review your transaction list on the portal from time to time — a fill-up you never made could mean your quota is being misused.

Both schemes use the same MyKad verification at the counter and draw from the same 300-litre quota.
