How to Re-register a Sindh-Registered Car in Punjab?

[bahriaplus]

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to transfer my car, which is currently registered in Sindh, to Punjab. I’ve heard that the process involves obtaining an NOC and re-registering the vehicle, but I’m not entirely sure about the exact steps or documents required.

Could someone who has gone through this process please guide me on the following:

What is the step-by-step process to transfer a car from Sindh to Punjab?

What documents are required for obtaining the NOC from Sindh and re-registering in Punjab?

Are there any specific fees or taxes I need to pay during the process?

How long does the entire process usually take?

Are there any common issues or challenges I should be aware of?

Any advice, tips, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I don't think its legally possible, this is something that used to happen long long time back. Not anymore

This is legal procedure and a car which is being in shifted to another province permanently should be re-registered.

People don't follow this rule because "koi poochta nae hai".

You will need to contact agents or visit excise office in person and they will guide you accordingly.

At the end of the day, long process and alot of paper work. If you don't intend to keep the car for a long time rather sell it and buy something in your residential province.

sir @bahriaplus i think you are referring to transfer of sindh vehicle to punjab.

it is called inter provincial transfer. re-registering as in regn no / regn plate changes does not happen since after 2010. process is simple.

The person holding ownership of sindh register vehicle on papers has to apply for transfer NOC to another province. only after clearance of taxes / token payments such NOCs' are issued valid for 90 days from date of issue.

Vehicle owner holding such NOC has to apply for transfer of vehicle in next province and pay applicable taxes. Vehicle can not be sold without transfer into name of NOC holder.

Vehicle registration number & offiicial plates remain un-changed.

Here is what Google says:

1. Gather Necessary Documents:
   Original Car Registration Document (Sindh): The original registration certificate or "red book".
   Original CNIC (National Identity Card) of the Seller and Purchaser: Ensure both the previous owner and the new owner (you) have their original CNICs.
   Application for Transfer of Registration (Punjab): Obtain this form from the Punjab Excise & Taxation Department.
   Original Receipt of the Tax Paid in Sindh: Proof of payment of all applicable taxes in Sindh.
   Computerized Transfer Letter
   No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Sindh: Obtain this from the Sindh Excise and Taxation Department.
   Form F (Filled and signed).
   Transfer of Ownership Form.
   Copy of Import Permission (if applicable): If the car was imported, you'll need a copy of the relevant documents.
   Affidavit (if applicable): An affidavit to state that the vehicle is neither stolen nor required in any other case and that the applicant would be responsible for any discrepancy.
2. Obtain No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Sindh:
   Visit the Sindh Excise and Taxation Department with the required documents.
   Fill out the necessary forms for NOC application.
   Pay the applicable fees for obtaining the NOC.
3. Transfer the Registration in Punjab:
   Visit the Punjab Excise and Taxation Department:
   Take all the gathered documents and the NOC from Sindh to the Motor Registration Authority (MRA) / Excise & Taxation Officer (ETO) in Punjab.
   Submit the Application:
   Fill out the Punjab transfer of registration application form and submit it along with the other required documents.
   Pay the Fees:
   Pay the necessary fees for transfer of registration.
   Vehicle Inspection:
   You might need to take the vehicle for inspection before receiving the new registration.
   Obtain the new Registration:
   Once the transfer process is completed, you will receive a new registration certificate from the Punjab Excise and Taxation Department.
   Important Notes:
   Biometric Verification: Be prepared for biometric verification as it is now essential for vehicle registration and transfer in Punjab.
   Timeliness: Be aware of timelines and deadlines associated with the transfer process.
   Regional variations: There might be some regional variations in procedures, so it is recommended to contact the Excise and Taxation Department in the specific Punjab city or district where you intend to register the vehicle.

Yes. In 1984 my father surrendered his car's Sindh registration and re-registered his car in Punjab. It was his 1977 Toyota Corolla. Bu not sure if this is still possible now or not. Google says it is possible. Lets see what happens.

It was till computerised numbers started. Then the reregisteration was haulted. Maybe now they have perfected the system
