Motor Vehicle Transfer Rules are to be amended for the introduction of a biometric system for the verification of the buyer and the seller of any vehicle, preventing vehicles that are being used with an open letter.
The above proposition was discussed in the meeting presided over by Sindh’s Provincial Minister for Excise and Taxation & Narcotics Control and Parliamentary Affairs, Mukesh Kumar Chawla.
DG Excise and Taxation, Shabbir Ahmed Sheikh, gave a briefing to the meeting. He told that the Excise department has received complaints of certain vehicles using open letters. Therefore, it has decided to take this action.

what does open letter mean in this context?
Open letter means, that the buyer buys the car and does not get it transferred to his name. While the seller fills all the forms needed for the buyer’s registration at the time of the sale and since the buyer does not get it transferred to his name, its called “Open Letter”. In simple words you purchase car and use it yourself, while in the books the seller is technically still the owner. In case you or someone else, misuses this car, the police will come looking for the seller as it is in his name.
