Online Vehicle Verification for Karachi / Sindh Launched

By Mehwish Khan | 24, May 2012 | 43 Comments

Excise and Taxation Department of Sindh has launched an online portal for verification of vehicles in Sindh, including Karachi. Tipped by Asad Memom, a ProPakistani reader, it appears that portal is just launched with no official announcement.

You can access the online vehicle verification for Sindh / Karachi here:

http://www.excise.gos.pk/portal/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=84

You may call it bad SEO or bad URL naming, but that is how it is.

You are suppose to enter the Registration No of your car/vehicle and portal will return you with sufficient information about your vehicle. Which, according to some, is privacy invasion. They believe that such information shouldn’t be kept online – just because it can land into wrong hands for misuse.

Let’s take an example of of this advert for a Honda Civic car on a classified website, which has pictures of the car available as well. We got the plate number from the pictures and entered it into online vehicle verification system.

Here was the registration number: AB-3243

While below is the information returned by verification system:

As apparent from above screen shot, Some vehicle owners, may not want to get their information displayed publicly on internet – while others may find it a good, easy and timely solution for verifying the status of their cars.

It merits mentioning here that there is no personal information provided by online vehicle verification system, rather it displays only the necessary information about the vehicle and the owner’s name.

It maybe recalled that Punjab has online vehicle verification system as well. It can be accessed here: http://mtmis.punjab.gov.pk/

Looks like Punjab’s system has the same security flaw.

A better way would have been to use the Vehicle ID Number as a starting point and then ask for the vehicle reregistration number as a second step. Third parties usually have no information on VIN. That would allay the privacy concerns.

Its a nice move, making online will definitely solve different problems for all the vehicle purchasers.

God Job done subject to smooth availability of round the clock smooth service. This should also include status of encumbrances / mortgage details, if any.

What about Bikes? This system can not tracks Bike.

Dear ADMIN, I didn’t understand why you have written “karachi/sindh” at many places in this post?

If you write “sindh” it is obvious (including karachi) one doesn’t need to mention it.

I’m a big fan of propakistani and it is a humble request to kindly edit this post at the following places:

1. Heading => “Karachi / Sindh ”
2. Line No.2 => “vehicles in Sindh, including Karachi”
3. Line No.4 => “verification for Sindh / Karachi here”

Thank you!

Wow Karachi and Sindh..
It means Karachi and Sindh are separate?
I would rather suggest to change this heading. There is already lot of controversy on the issue.
I never seen a term, Lahore and Punjab or Peshawar and KP or London and England.
what an ignorant…
Please change…

Karachi is a part of Sindh like, Lahore is a part of Punjab. 20 people have been killed in last 3 days included women and children because of this issue.
I am going to complain that Pro-Pakistani inciting ethnic conflict. Idiotic headline.

@all people blaming propakistani for Karachi/Sindh..for your kind info..there r two types of number plates, Karachi Reg & Sindh Reg..isliye Sindh n Karachi likha hai..Agar Sindh likhte sirf to iska matlab hota k Karachi Reg Cars k liye nai hai ye service sirf sindh reg cars k liye hai…bilawaja issue bana lete ho har bat ko..

  Sorry to say sir but the system ur talking about is MORE THEN ONE DECADE OLD.
  
  Actually according to old system every district has it’s own number plate. Like I remembered we had a mehran with karachi number plate, and my uncle had a car with nawabshah number plate.
  
  But now ONLY AND ONLY Government of SINDH and text SINDH is written on the yellow number plate.
  
  So yes I blame propakistani for karachi/sindh. If the author/admin meant what u are saying. Then the heading should be:
  
  “Online Vehicle Verification System for SINDH/NAWABSHAH/LARKANA/HYDERABAD/SUKKUR and other districts Launched”…
  - syeduzair
    
    I dont know about nawabshah plate..:S mene ajtak karachi ya sindh number plates dekhi hain..hyderabad n karachi dono mai.. :S hosakta hai ye meri knowledge mai na ho..

It doesnt give the information of transferred to owners. If a car has been sold multiple times only original owner first time registered is being shown on both punjab and sindh portals.

athar

What exactly is the writer trying to prove here???
I don’t get it.
Is it that he is against the online system or pro???
Dude!! i am looking to buy a car and this online thingi verification will surely act as a god father and first step to my research in order to get a clean vehicle… will it not??
Of-course i will not get into any car which is not clear from the portal or at least it will be a signal for me and others to have their eyes open…
We live in a city for full of scammers…
Plus… it does not give any sort of personal info about the personal…
