Official Excise departments

Before buying a used vehicle

  1. Verify the registration number on the province’s official verification service (e.g. MTMIS in Punjab): check the owner name matches the seller’s CNIC, the model, engine and chassis numbers.
  2. Physically match the engine and chassis numbers with the registration documents.
  3. Check token tax is paid up to date.
  4. Ask for the original file, registration book/smart card and previous transfer documents.

Transferring ownership

  • Original registration file and book/card
  • CNIC copies of buyer and seller; biometric verification where the province requires it
  • Sale/transfer letter as prescribed
  • Token tax paid till date
  • Transfer fee and any applicable taxes (withholding tax may apply depending on filer status)

Complete the transfer promptly: until it is done, the seller remains legally linked to the vehicle and its e-challans.

Paying token tax

Provinces accept token tax through designated banks, Excise offices and official e-payment apps/portals. Keep the receipt; in many cases the withholding tax portion appears on your tax record.
