Punjab · Motor Vehicle Token Tax · FY 2026–27
The rebate window ended on 31 August 2026. Token tax is still due in full, and a late payment penalty can apply. An unpaid token also holds up ownership transfers. Pay through ePay Punjab using the steps below. Whether a similar rebate is offered next year is decided by the provincial government, so check the Excise department for next year's terms.

Short answer
Punjab offered a 10% rebate on annual motor vehicle token tax for payments made on or before 31 August 2026. That window has now closed. The rebate applied to the token tax component only, not the income tax or advance tax lines on the same bill. Token tax is still payable in full 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 amount ePay shows for your vehicle is the amount that applies.
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 If you are budgeting from last year's figure, that figure is out of date.
The rebate ended on 31 August 2026, so this calculator is now for reference only: it shows what 10% of a token tax figure would have been. Find the token tax line in ePay Punjab — not the total, and not the income tax or advance tax lines — and enter it below.
Whole rupees. Example: a 1300cc car showing Rs 6,000 token tax.
The 10% rebate was calculated on the token tax component only, and is no longer available. Your total payable includes income tax and advance tax where they apply. The figure ePay shows you is the one that counts.
Budget about five minutes.
| 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 | 10% of annual token tax for payment of the whole year on or before 31 August 2026. This window has closed. |

No. Punjab's 10% rebate on annual token tax applied to payments made on or before 31 August 2026 and has closed. We found no announcement extending it. Check the Punjab Excise website for any new offer.
No. It was applied automatically to the amount ePay Punjab showed, for payments of the full year's tax on or before 31 August. There was no code or separate form.
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 were not discounted.
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 pay the full amount, and a late payment penalty can apply after the due date. Pay as soon as you can through ePay Punjab. 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 was 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.
