Punjab Vehicle Token Tax 2026: Check and Pay via ePay Punjab

Punjab vehicle owners can now check and pay their token tax without visiting an excise office. The ePay Punjab app, built by the Punjab Information Technology Board, fetches the amount due for a vehicle and generates a 17-digit PSID challan that can be paid through a bank, mobile wallet or ATM. The exact amount depends on the vehicle, so the figure shown in the app for your own registration number is the one that matters.

What Is ePay Punjab

• Official payment app: ePay Punjab is the Government of Punjab’s official payment app, built by the Punjab Information Technology Board.
• No direct in-app payment: The app’s role is to look up the due amount and generate the PSID; the actual payment happens through your bank or wallet using that PSID.
• Checking is free: Checking your dues and generating a PSID in the app is free; you pay only the tax amount shown.

How Token Tax Is Determined

• Vehicle record: The amount is fetched from the Excise record for your vehicle, so it reflects that vehicle’s registered details.
• Engine and value: For motor cars, the published schedule bases token tax on engine capacity and, above 1000cc, on invoice price.
• Small cars: The Excise schedule lists Rs20,000 for motor cars up to 1000cc, treated as a lifetime token in published guides.
• Larger cars: For 2026-27, the schedule lists 0.3% of invoice price for 1001cc to 2000cc and 0.4% of invoice price above 2000cc.
• App figure is final: Because invoice price and record details vary by vehicle, the amount shown for your registration number in the app is the authoritative figure.

Motorcycle and Other Rates

• Up to 70cc: The Excise schedule lists Rs1,000 for motorcycles and scooters up to 70cc.
• 71 to 125cc: The schedule lists Rs1,500 for 71 to 100cc and Rs2,000 for 101 to 125cc motorcycles.
• 126 to 150cc: The schedule lists Rs2,500 for motorcycles from 126 to 150cc.
• Above 150cc: Above 150cc, the schedule lists token tax at 2% of the value of the vehicle.

Check and Pay Step by Step

• Open the app: Open the ePay Punjab app and select the Excise and Taxation section, then Vehicle Token Tax.
• Enter registration number: Enter your vehicle registration number, and the app will pull up the dues linked to that vehicle.
• Generate the PSID: Tap Generate Challan to get your 17-digit PSID, which is the reference number for the payment.
• Pay the PSID: Pay that PSID through JazzCash, Easypaisa, your bank’s mobile or internet banking, an ATM, or over the counter at a bank.
• Keep the receipt: Keep the SMS or bank receipt for the PSID payment, because it proves the tax was paid.

Rebate and PSID Validity

• 10% rebate rule: A rebate of 10% of the annual token tax is allowed if the tax for the whole year is paid on or before 31 August of the financial year.
• Standing rule: The 10% rebate is a standing provision in the published schedule, not a one-year offer, so it returns each financial year.
• PSID expiry: A PSID is valid only for a limited period, so if yours has lapsed, generate a fresh PSID instead of trying the old number.

Mistakes to Avoid

• Wrong vehicle: Check the registration number and vehicle details carefully, because a PSID generated for the wrong vehicle will not clear your dues.
• Old PSID: Do not pay an expired PSID, and do not share your PSID with strangers who offer to pay it for you.
• Official rate page: For the full schedule, check the official Excise page at excise.punjab.gov.pk before trusting forwarded rate tables.

Conclusion

Paying Punjab token tax through ePay Punjab is a short process: enter your registration number, generate the 17-digit PSID, and pay it through a bank, wallet or ATM. The schedule gives Rs20,000 up to 1000cc and invoice-price percentages above that, but your own PSID amount is the final figure. Pay the full year by 31 August to keep the 10% rebate, and keep your payment receipt safe.
