LAHORE – The Punjab Excise and Taxation Department, the authority for vehicle registration, plays a crucial role in maintaining records and collecting taxes. This department registers both locally manufactured and imported vehicles, ensuring a comprehensive database that aids in tracking and monitoring vehicles for various purposes.
Upon completing the registration process by paying the Punjab excise fee, the department issues registration certificates and number plates. It is essential for vehicle owners to retain these documents, especially if they plan to resell their vehicles.
The Punjab Excise and Taxation Department provides a detailed fee structure for the new registration of vehicles. For motorcycles with an engine capacity of up to 150cc, a fixed registration fee is applied. For motorcycles above 150cc and other vehicles, including cars, the registration fee is based on the vehicle’s value.
