The Excise Department in Islamabad has initiated a firm crackdown on unregistered vehicles, non-standard number plates, and vehicles with tinted windows. Vehicles equipped with flashlights or police lights are also under scrutiny. Strict penalties are being enforced, with heavy fines imposed on those violating the regulations, regardless of where the vehicle is from.
According to the Excise Department, vehicles with engine capacities of up to 1,000 cc will face fines of Rs. 5,000, while those between 1,000 cc and 2,000 cc will be fined Rs. 10,000. Vehicles with engine capacities exceeding 2,000 cc will incur penalties of up to Rs. 20,000.
Director Excise, Bilal Azam, emphasized that no external pressures or recommendations will influence the enforcement of these rules, and the registration of vehicles will remain suspended until fines are fully paid. Furthermore, under the notification issued by the Chief Commissioner, repeat offenders will face a fivefold increase in fines.
In addition to the capital, similar measures are being taken in other cities like Quetta and Peshawar, where vehicles with tinted windows are targeted to ensure compliance with the law.
Chal be
I fail to understand why there is a dual policy in terms of such rules. Tinted cars of Government officials are allowed whereas private citizens can’t have their cars tinted. Especially in summer season people need to reduce the heat and sunlight inside their vehicle but can’t do so. Citizens should be allowed to do so if not all 4 then at least rear windows should be allowed so that kids and females are safe from heat.
so government vehicles can have heavy tints but bloody civilians cant even have light tints. now they will demand higher bribes
This circus happens ever so often and it fizzles out in a few days, pakistan does not have a culture of following laws because the police are corrupt and take bribes and the violators of law know that, so in a few days things will be back to normal
