The tax hasn't been re-imposed as none of the other operators have mentioned anything on their web-site, nor have they revived any of their packages. It's just Mobilink taking advantage of it's huge subscriber base and looting people.

Here is a detailed article published in Dawn about the withdrawal. Their was a huge out rage on social media which led to it's withdrawal.

Bro, you are showing 13 days old article. I know about it. And i'm talking about recent news. Rs.42 will be deducted from the card of Rs.100 and taxes are imposed on internet too.

[zuhaibafzal]

I think, you missed the recent news.

[slakr]

They are already taking tax on broadband in KPK ..am talking about landline ptcl broadband .. now they gonna charge more???

[awais.9]

3G Data Bundle - Mobilink - Har Dil. Har Din.

i thought they r charging 14% but they r charging 19.5%
3g daily was priced at 15rs now its at 17.9 which is 15 X 1.195
where as nayatel is charging 14% advanced tax on internet

dont know whats the story here

[autophile]

Today I spotted a Zong franchise just a kilometer away from my house on Main PWD Road, just above Tanti optician (near Latif Chemists) and got the free 4G voice sim activated in five minutes. If I recharge 500 rs, I will get 10 GB data free with it. This outlet has also got wifi and wingle devices.

19.5% tax was implemented by provincial govts of KPK, Sindh and Punjab.
Due to widespread outrage on social media this tax was withdrawn by the Punjab govt. (Sindh KPK continued)
None of the ISP's (Wi-tribe, nayatel, ptcl) and 4 operators implemented this tax in Punjab.
Except for ofcourse Mobilink.

The 14% advance tax is proposed by the "federal" govt and is applicable on all internet users on all the provinces. My wi-tribe has got it, nayatel has got it ptcl has got it cause they are ISP's.

However the 5 telecos have not implemented this tax as the the clause in the budget is not clear about mobile broadband. So currently they have put this advance tax on hold.

Now if clarification comes and both of these taxes are brought into effect than (19.5%+14%)= 33.5%
Expect the internet to go expensive by 33.5%. So that means suppose you paid Rs1000 before now you would be paying 1335.

ISP's are already charging both these taxes in KPK and Sindh.

u get one sim that goes in the device, this voice sim must be the master number right? i thought u get one sim n master no can be any of ur current no, atleast thats what zong csr told me even if its not zong
daraz guys didnt activate this voice sim for u?

[Chaudhary007]

Rs.42 will be deducted from the card of Rs.100 and taxes are imposed on internet too.

Wrong Rs33.5 would be deducted from the card of Rs.100

19.5GST and 14%advance tax= 33.5% = Rs33.5 and you would get Rs66.5

And the 19.5%GST and 14%Advance tax of whose complete details i have mentioned above is separate which is specifically being imposed on internet usage.

Both the 14% advance tax on recharge as well as on the internet can be reclaimed at the time of filing tax.

The voice SIM is actually master SIM. Daraz guys said sorry it was their first time so they made mistake in device activation and then this SIM they were thinking will be automatically activated. They did biometric only for device and that too they entered a wrong digit.

Here is my first movie download today via torrent

thanks, i'll make sure they activate both sims for me n device as well
i ordered one too, they said it'll take 6-9 working days :o
btw is the speed consistent or it keeps jumping up n down?
when i tested telenor 3g with IDM, it kept fluctuating, coming up n down from 500-1000kb/s where as torrent was fixed on 300, maybe that wasnt a healthy torrent
test with IDM as well if u use it

they said its not a ware house item, it has to be ordered from the company so it takes more time, i guess they dont have it in stock or they just gave more time so i cant say anything if they get late
u can order one now n activate it later
their office is closed on weekend so i guess they'll start the processing from monday

[Chaudhary007]

Switched from Witribe to Zong 4G

And just look at the speed. Got the device from a friend who works at Zong. (H)

So far it has stayed between 50-55Mbps. Area is Mubarak Lane, Adyala Road, Rawalpindi (H)

Getting 6-6.5MBps on IDM, will upload screen shots of that later.

Package is 24GB/3months/Rs4000
