Islamabad Excise and Taxation Department has announced a new policy to issue vehicle registration numbers directly to the owner instead of the vehicle itself. This change aims to improve transparency in the registration process.
According to the official notification, each vehicle owner will receive a unique number plate permanently linked to their name. This new rule will apply to both new vehicles and those already registered in Islamabad.
When a vehicle is sold, the previous registration number will be canceled. The new owner will then receive a fresh registration number tied to their name, ensuring clear ownership records with every transfer.
The policy also allows owners to keep their registration number for up to one year without owning a vehicle. However, if the number is not assigned to any vehicle within that period, it will be canceled.
This initiative, issued by the Director General of Excise and Taxation Islamabad, is designed to simplify vehicle ownership and enhance convenience for citizens. It also helps prevent fraud and misuse of vehicle registration numbers.
Overall, the new system will bring more accountability and clarity to vehicle registration in Islamabad, benefiting both the authorities and vehicle owners alike.
