ISLAMABAD – Car owners in Punjab can now enjoy a significant benefit as the Excise and Taxation Department has announced a 10 percent discount on vehicle token taxes for payments made through the ePay Punjab app.
This initiative aims to reduce long queues and allows users to complete transactions from the convenience of their homes.
With the ePay Punjab app, car owners can handle various tax payments online, including their token tax, which eliminates the need for time-consuming visits to government offices. This discount is available until August 30th, providing a temporary opportunity for savings.
