The Punjab government has approved higher delivery charges for vehicle registration documents—including files, smart cards, and number plates—in response to rising inflation.
The new rates are part of a three-year agreement finalized after negotiations with the Pakistan Post Office.
According to officials, the Post Office had initially demanded an increase of more than 400% in delivery fees, which would have made their rates even higher than private courier services. This proposal, however, was turned down by the Director General of Excise and Taxation.
Under the revised structure, the following delivery charges will apply:
- Files: Rs. 100 (previously Rs. 43)
- Number Plates: Rs. 90 (previously Rs. 34)
- Smart Cards: Rs. 48 (previously Rs. 27)
A summary of these updated charges has been forwarded to the provincial government for final approval.

یہ فیس بہت زیادہ ہے حکومت کا کام ہے کوریئر والوں سے بارگیننگ کرے اور عوام کو فائدہ پہنچائے یہ تو کوریئر کو فائدہ ہے محکمے کو فائدہ ہے مہربانی فرمائیں
Despite this additional fee, people have not received number plates and regulation cards for last many years. CM Maryam Nawaz should take notice of this situation.
