The Punjab government has introduced changes to the Motor Vehicles Ordinance 1965, enabling vehicles registered in other provinces to be re-registered in Punjab. The policy is set to take effect next month, with all necessary rules and procedures already finalized.
According to excise officials, vehicle owners from Sindh, Islamabad, and other provinces can now transfer their registrations to Punjab after obtaining a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from their respective Motor Registration Authorities.
The re-registration fee will be lower than the cost of new registrations, making it a more economical option.
Additionally, Punjab will accept token taxes already paid in Sindh and Islamabad, preventing double taxation for vehicle owners. In the next phase, authorities plan to introduce e-pay services to allow digital payments for re-registration.
Punjab Excise and Taxation Director General Umar Sher Chattha stated that the initiative will not only simplify the registration process for citizens but also contribute to provincial revenue.
While some vehicle owners and dealers see the move as a positive step, others remain concerned about potential procedural challenges. The government aims to address these concerns and ensure a smooth transition once the policy is implemented.

Very good step
Much needed and really essential step taken by the Punjab Government.
We all know that noc will be another door to bribery. More than digitalisation agent mafia is fully integrated sitting very next to every excise offices. And all talk about share up to director level.
Why to register again in Punjab when already registered in other provinces while token tax can be paid online?
It not fair, it is just to make money. Other provinces while refuse to give NOC and people will suffer badly. New door to corruption is going to be open.
Mashahallah ❤ congratulations 👏
کیا سندھ پاکستان کا حصہ نہیں ہے ، ایسا نظام بنائیں کہ پنجاب میں پورے پاکستان سے کہیں بھی رجسٹرڈ گاڑی کو مشکلات نا پیش آئے
حال یہ ہے کہ کے پی کے کے ٹوکبن پنجاب نہیں مانتا
Rubbish, sluggish… Once a vehicle registered, should be for whole Pakistan.
Non sense and looting enchantments.
