As reported by ARY News, the National Assembly Standing Committee on Interior met to debate concerning penalties for vehicle registration and some interesting facts came to light from the government’s perspective of motor vehicles. In the session, the issue of vehicle registration and taxation in Pakistan and especially the controversy of issuing fines which constitute a major source of income also kept the members of the committee engaged.
The Deputy Commissioner of Islamabad revealed that the government has generated 260 million rupees through penalties on late registration of vehicles having a capacity from 1000 CC to 3000 CC. Member of the committee Tariq Fazal Chaudhry questioned the very existence of fine structure and wanted it eliminated in toto while the DC contended that enhanced penalties on motorways have indeed tamed Category C violators.
The government of Sindh declared a revolution in vehicle registration services, providing online registration and transfer services from the 1st of January 2025. The initiative was seen by Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon as a relief to the public eradicating the usage of cash in payment of motor vehicle tax and also bringing about transparency in the system.
