Short answer
Punjab gives a 10% rebate on annual motor vehicle token tax if you pay the whole year's tax on or before 31 August 2026. The rebate applies to the token tax component only — the income tax and advance tax lines on the same bill are unaffected. Pay through the ePay Punjab app: enter your registration number, generate a PSID, and clear it through your bank app, an ATM, JazzCash or Easypaisa. The rebate is applied automatically in the amount ePay shows you; there is no code to enter and no separate form.
Two things changed this year, and together they are why your bill may look unfamiliar. Punjab revised token tax for vehicles above 1,000cc in the Finance Bill 2026-27 — the first change of its kind in close to two decades — and commercial vehicle rates went up sharply. If you are budgeting from last year's figure, that figure is out of date.
Open ePay Punjab, look up your vehicle, and find the token tax line — not the total, and not the income tax or advance tax lines. Enter that figure below.
Whole rupees. Example: a 1300cc car showing Rs 6,000 token tax.
The 10% rebate is calculated on the token tax component only. Your total payable will still include income tax and advance tax where they apply, and those are not discounted. The figure ePay shows you is the one that counts.
Budget about five minutes. The last week before the deadline is when the app slows down and bank queues build, so earlier is easier.
| Change | Detail |
|---|---|
| Electric vehicles | Punjab has granted a 99% concession on token tax for EVs for FY 2026-27. The concession applies to the token tax component; other lines on your bill may still appear. |
| Commercial loader vehicles | Roughly tripled across weight categories under the Finance Bill 2026-27, per Punjab budget reporting: |
| 4,060–8,120 kg | Rs 2,200 → Rs 6,600 |
| 8,120–12,000 kg | Rs 4,000 → Rs 12,000 |
| 12,000–16,000 kg | Rs 6,000 → Rs 18,000 |
| Above 16,000 kg | Rs 8,000 → Rs 24,000 |
| Transfer fees | Motor vehicle transfer fees were increased. Hire-purchase agreement fees were aligned with transfer fees, except for motorcycles and cars below 1,000cc. |
| The rebate itself | Unchanged: 10% of annual token tax, if the whole year is paid on or before 31 August. |

No. It is applied automatically to the amount ePay Punjab shows you, as long as you are paying the full year's tax on or before 31 August. There is no code, no form and no separate request.
No — only to the annual token tax component. A token tax bill in Punjab typically has more than one line on it, and income tax and advance tax are not discounted. That is why a 10% rebate on token tax is usually less than 10% of the total you pay.
The rebate is written as applying where the tax for the whole year is paid on or before 31 August. A part-year payment does not meet that condition. If in doubt, confirm with the Excise and Taxation Department before splitting the payment.
Punjab revised token tax for vehicles above 1,000cc in the Finance Bill 2026-27, and commercial vehicle rates rose sharply. If your vehicle is above 1,000cc or is a commercial loader, that is the likely reason. Electric vehicles moved the other way, with a 99% concession for FY 2026-27.
You lose the rebate and pay the full amount, and a late payment penalty can apply after the due date. Unpaid token tax also has knock-on effects: it can hold up an ownership transfer, and it shows against the vehicle when a buyer runs a verification.
Wait 48 hours before doing anything. Portal status lags the payment itself. Your SMS or app receipt with the transaction ID is your proof, not the portal. If it is still unpaid after two days, contact the department with the transaction ID rather than paying twice.
The 10% early-payment rebate described here is Punjab's. Other jurisdictions set their own rules — Islamabad, for instance, moved to invoice-value-based token tax from 1 July 2026 under the Finance Act 2026. Check your own registering authority's schedule.
Token tax is one of four dates that expire on different schedules. Track them together so a lapse never turns into a fine.
