LAHORE – The Punjab government has decided to introduce a new system allowing vehicles registered in other provinces and the federal region to be easily transferred and registered in Punjab.
As per the proposed plan, the owners will be able to register their vehicles in Punjab by paying a nominal additional fee along with the prescribed transfer fee.
An NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the province or federal region where the vehicle is currently registered will be required.
After the NOC is obtained, excise officials will verify the online record and issue a new registration number for the vehicle in Punjab.
Excise Secretary, Umar Sher Chatha, stated that while a large number of vehicles use Punjab’s roads, the tax revenue currently goes to other provinces.
This new system will help Punjab generate additional revenue while providing convenience to vehicle owners.
He also stated that the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) has developed special software for this purpose.
The new inter-provincial vehicle transfer and registration process will be launched across Punjab later this month.
