How much is the car transfer fee in Punjab 2026?

Per the official Punjab Excise & Taxation transfer fee schedule July 2026 (excise.punjab.gov.pk/motorvehicle_tax): Motorcycle / Scooter Rs 910, Car up to 1000cc Rs 4,540, Car 1001cc to 1800cc Rs 9,075, Car above 1800cc Rs 18,150, Heavy Transport Vehicle (HTV) Rs 9,075. These are base transfer fees only. Add Rs 1,300 Data Embedded Smart Card fee, Rs 150 biometric verification, Rs 500-1,000 notary attestation on the transfer letter, and Lifetime Token Tax if the vehicle is being transferred within 10 years of first registration. Total all-in cost for a typical 1300cc car (1001-1800cc bracket) is approximately Rs 11,025 to Rs 11,525 for a 10+ year old vehicle, or higher if lifetime token tax applies.

What is the car transfer fee for a 660cc Suzuki Alto in Punjab?

Suzuki Alto 660cc falls in the Car up to 1000cc bracket per Excise Punjab schedule. Base transfer fee is Rs 4,540. Total transfer cost: base Rs 4,540 + smart card Rs 1,300 + biometric Rs 150 + notary Rs 500-1,000 = Rs 6,490 to Rs 6,990 for a 10+ year old Alto (no lifetime token tax). If the Alto is under 10 years old, add Lifetime Token Tax Rs 20,000 (base) minus 10 percent per year of age rebate. Example: 5-year-old Alto = Rs 20,000 x 50 percent rebate = Rs 10,000 LTT payable, bringing total to Rs 16,490 to Rs 16,990.

What is the car transfer fee for a 1300cc Toyota Corolla in Punjab?

This bracket does NOT attract Lifetime Token Tax at transfer (LTT applies only to motorcycles and cars up to 1000cc), so the same total applies regardless of vehicle age. Same fee range applies to Toyota Corolla 1500cc / 1600cc / 1800cc, Honda City 1200cc / 1500cc, Honda Civic 1500cc / 1800cc, and Suzuki Swift 1200cc.

What is the motorcycle transfer fee in Punjab 2026?

Motorcycle / Scooter transfer fee in Punjab is Rs 910 base fee per Excise Punjab schedule (uniform across engine sizes: Honda CD70, CG125, Yamaha YBR125, Suzuki GS150 all pay the same base). Total transfer cost: Rs 910 + smart card Rs 1,300 + biometric Rs 150 + notary Rs 500-1,000 = Rs 2,860 to Rs 3,360 all-in for a motorcycle over 10 years old. If the motorcycle is under 10 years old, add Lifetime Token Tax Rs 1,500 base minus 10 percent per year of age rebate. Example: 3-year-old CG125 = Rs 1,500 x 30 percent rebate = Rs 1,050 LTT payable, bringing total to Rs 3,910 to Rs 4,410.

What is Lifetime Token Tax on car transfer in Punjab?

Lifetime Token Tax (LTT) is a one-time tax payable at ownership transfer for vehicles transferred within 10 years of their first registration date. It applies ONLY to Motorcycle (Rs 1,500 base) and Car up to 1000cc (Rs 20,000 base). Cars above 1000cc, HTV, and vehicles over 10 years old do NOT pay LTT at transfer. The base LTT amount is reduced by 10 percent per year of vehicle age at time of transfer. Example: A 5-year-old Suzuki Alto (up to 1000cc) transferred gets 50 percent rebate on the Rs 20,000 base = Rs 10,000 payable. A 3-year-old Honda CD70 motorcycle transferred gets 30 percent rebate on Rs 1,500 = Rs 1,050 payable. Vehicles 10+ years old are fully exempt from LTT at transfer.

What documents are needed to transfer a car in Punjab?

Documents required for private car ownership transfer in Punjab (verified against MTMIS Punjab process): (1) Original vehicle Registration Book issued by Excise, (2) Sale Deed / Transfer Letter with notary public attestation showing sale price and both parties' signatures, (3) Buyer CNIC copy front and back, (4) Seller CNIC copy front and back, (5) Two passport-size photographs of the buyer, (6) Latest paid Token Tax challan (proof of no arrears), (7) Filled Form F (Transfer of Ownership application, downloadable from mtmis.excise-punjab.gov.pk), (8) Bank Loan NOC if the vehicle was previously financed, (9) Passing certificate copy if applicable. HTV commercial vehicles additionally need route permit and fitness certificate. Motorcycles over 3 years old need a fitness certificate. All documents submitted at the Excise Registration Authority in your district.

How long does car transfer take in Punjab 2026?

Punjab vehicle transfer processing typically takes 10-15 working days from document submission at the Excise Registration Authority. You can track transfer status via the MTMIS Punjab system (mtmis.excise-punjab.gov.pk) using your vehicle registration number. Faster expedited transfer (5-7 days) is available at some district Excise offices for an additional facilitation fee. Common delays: (1) missing bank NOC for previously financed vehicles, (2) unattested sale deed or missing notary stamp, (3) unpaid arrears on token tax, (4) mismatched CNIC name between the sale deed and NADRA record. Fix these before submitting to avoid rejection and re-submission delay.

What is the smart card fee for vehicle transfer in Punjab?

The Data Embedded Card (Smart Card) fee in Punjab is Rs 1,300 per the official Excise Punjab motorvehicle_tax schedule. This applies uniformly across motorcycle, private car (all CC brackets), and HTV commercial vehicles. The smart card replaces the paper registration book with a plastic card containing the vehicle's registration data embedded in a chip. It is issued at the time of transfer and delivered along with the new registration book. Some earlier sources cite Rs 550 or Rs 530 as smart card fee; this refers to an older rate that was revised. The current Rs 1,300 rate is confirmed on the official Excise Punjab page.

Is there a filer vs non-filer difference on car transfer fee in Punjab?

No, the base transfer fee and smart card fee do NOT differ between filer and non-filer per Punjab Excise schedule. The filer / non-filer distinction applies to Withholding Tax (WHT) and Section 231B advance tax, which are separate from the transfer fee itself. WHT applies at time of registration and at certain subsequent transactions; it doubled for non-filers under Finance Act 2026-27. Practical impact: if you are a non-filer transferring a car within 5 years of first registration, you may face additional WHT at the transfer counter. File a free FBR nil return at iris.fbr.gov.pk before initiating the transfer to become a filer and avoid the doubled WHT (30 minutes work, unlocks Rs 20,000-50,000 annual saving across other transactions too).

How can I check my car transfer status on MTMIS Punjab?

Check Punjab vehicle transfer status via the MTMIS (Motor Transport Management Information System) portal at mtmis.excise-punjab.gov.pk. Steps: (1) Open the MTMIS portal on any web browser (mobile-friendly), (2) Enter your vehicle registration number in the search field (format LEA-1234 or LZH-4567), (3) Click Search. The system displays: vehicle owner name (updates after successful transfer), engine and chassis number, registration date, transfer date if recent, token tax status, any pending arrears. You can also SMS your registration number to 8785 (Punjab Excise MTMIS SMS service) for a quick status check. If the transfer is completed but MTMIS still shows the old owner after 15 working days, contact your Excise Registration Authority directly with your file receipt number.
