Vehicle ownership transfer means changing the vehicle record from the seller’s name to the buyer’s name in Excise & Taxation records. This is important for legal ownership and future safety.
Step-by-step process
- Verify vehicle record: Check registration and verify details.
- Prepare documents: CNIC copies, transfer forms, and other required papers.
- Visit Excise office: Buyer and seller may be required (varies by province).
- Pay transfer fee: Submit fee and any pending token tax.
- Receive updated record: Get smart card/book updated in buyer name.
Why transfer is important
- Prevents future legal issues for buyer and seller.
- Required for insurance claims and verification.
- Ensures fines and challans go to correct owner.
