Looks like Pakistan Telecommunication Authority’s (PTA) website is out of order because there is no other logical argument to support a tax of Rs. 50,000 (approx.) on a phone that does not cost more than Rs. 1000.
Social media platforms are filled with screenshots of printed challans from PTA’s mobile registration website showing a tax challan of Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 52,000 for phones worth Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 4,000.
In one of such incidents, a user shared his printed challan’s pictures which ask him to pay Rs. 219,248 as customs duty. Just to make it clear for our readers, the latest iPhone XS Max costs less than that.
The telecommunications authority has been ignoring the cries on social media. Despite several attempts, No PTA official was ready to comment on the matter.
Some of the outrageous complainants are planning to sell their cell phones to their friends or relatives instead of paying the duty.

How to register OPPo A7 imported from Dubai
dirbs.pta.gov.pk
Well, someone need to raise the issue of illegal mobile registration carried on from innocence Pakistani travelers passport. I recently visited Dubai for a short visit and when I came back and wanted to make my ID on PTA DIRBS portal, the system issued a message that my Passport and CNIC have already been used. This doesnt happen to me only, but with a lot family n friends around. This is simply a crime and the one who did it should be punished. PTA should also launch a complain portal to record our grievances and subsequently, blocking the devices used with our IDs.
“Some of the outrageous complainants are planning to sell their cell phones to their friends or relatives instead of paying the duty.”
So they are going to scam their relatives and friends? Pakistanis always put money first! Money is the true god here!
Brother, im sure the article meant to say friends and relatives outside of pakistan as thats the only options for these guys .

I appreciate the effort of govt. To collect the Tax/ custom duties.
What are we getting for paying these taxes/duties? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I don’t think Pakistanis realize what taxation is for. Tax money is collected so it can be spent on the people. So sure, collect these outrageous taxes, but give something back to the taxpayers!
Its not about tax collection its about blocking of illegal handsets
It is about tax collection. Otherwise they’d just forgo these ridiculous taxes and block illegal handsets anyway. A lot of countries are doing illegal handset blocking. No other country is doing it in this asinine way.

Mr. Propkaistani do some search and write with detail. i think the said IMEI mentioned on Nokia Box just may not relates with Nokia phone. there are lots of IMEI checker online.
IMEI : 862046037943537 is PTA non-compliant(blacklisted or duplicated). Application cannot be processed. Registration failed. But mobile ma sim b ni chal riii hai koi hall bto as ka
