What is PTA mobile tax?
Every mobile phone used in Pakistan on a local SIM must be registered with the PTA through DIRBS (Device Identification, Registration and Blocking System). Unregistered phones get blocked after a grace period. Registration requires paying a tax that depends on the phone's assessed dollar value.
Passport vs CNIC registration
Overseas Pakistanis can register one phone per passport per year at a much lower tax rate. Registration on CNIC costs significantly more. If you are bringing a phone from abroad, register it on your passport within the allowed window to save thousands of rupees.
How to pay
- Dial *8484# from your mobile, or visit the PTA DIRBS portal.
- Enter your phone's IMEI (dial *#06# to find it).
- Choose passport or CNIC registration and pay the generated PSID via bank, JazzCash or EasyPaisa.
