Token tax is an annual tax that every registered vehicle owner in Pakistan is required to pay to keep their vehicle's registration valid and legal. It's a small, recurring cost — but it's one that a surprising number of bike owners let lapse without realizing the consequences.
An unpaid or expired token tax can cause problems in a few ways: it can result in fines if you're stopped by traffic police, and unpaid token tax will typically block you from completing a bike transfer or other vehicle-related transactions until it's cleared.
The good news is that renewing token tax each year is usually a quick process, especially if you don't let it lapse for multiple years at once — unpaid amounts and penalties can add up the longer it's ignored.
A simple habit that helps: pay your token tax around the same time every year, so it becomes a routine rather than something you have to remember out of the blue.
If you'd rather not deal with the paperwork or queues yourself, Jahangir Motors handles token tax payment as one of our regular services — bring your registration book and CNIC to our office and we'll take care of the rest.
