The government of Pakistan has raised vehicle registration charges but the people have found a way to avoid paying this cost for many years, mainly due to the negligence of traffic police and customs and excise authorities.
To avoid the cost of registering a new vehicle, all you have to do is put a number plate that simply says “UR-14 or 15” and no police or custom authority will ever bother you. UR means Under Registration. But in Peshawar I have witnessed cars plying the roads with this number plate for many years. The owner uses the car for years and then sells it in the market without once registering or paying any taxes.
I request all Pakistani citizens to use this technique to avoid paying additional costs of registration as there is no benefit to them for registering their cars on time or paying any taxes to the government of Pakistan, according to the current trend.
