The Punjab Provincial Transport Authority (PPTA) has revised the requirements for fitness certificates for motor cars, allowing exemption to newly manufactured vehicles for several years.
According to a notification, the duration of the exemption will depend on the vehicle’s engine capacity and date of manufacture.
Cars with engines up to 1,000cc will require a fitness certificate after five years from the date of manufacture, while vehicles with engines between 1,001cc and 2,000cc will need certification after six years.
For cars with engine capacities exceeding 2,000cc, a fitness certificate will become mandatory seven years after the date of manufacture.
