After going through whole process of registration and ultimately reaching at PSID. The system does not do so. because message appears that ” Vehicle is issued NOC and 2020 tax is recoverable”
I dont know what is problem, last year i paid this tax with bank, whatever amount they printed on challan i paid.

You need to visit Excise & Taxation Office with written appliccation and meet ETO there, issue will be resolved.
Assalam-U-Alekum
I am residing in Islamabad having a sindh number plate vehicle so if i deposit online, how can i satisfy LEAs here in Islamabad that I have paid my tax as they don’t have access of sindh excise system.
once you pay the token tax online you have the transaction SMS and after sometime it will appear online use vehicle verification online by INCPAK or Sindh Govt provided smartphone app, take a screenshot of your vehicle’s last token tax paid to show LEAs.
Sindh govt needs to implement (Email Challan copy via email in a PDF format which owners can print) unfortunately this system does not exist in their knowledge but we have forwarded our suggestion hope they will look into this matter.
Meanwhile, the best option is to pay online and stay updated from your end, verification LEAs can do themselves.
Please note after paying Online tax it will take 10 working days to appear from Sindh Excise department to update online information.
Can we pay it from other provinces or cities etc, Punjab/Lahore?
Yes, you can pay vehicle token tax from the app from anywhere in Pakistan.
Aoa,
After paying road tax online, how will I get the sticker token to paste on the wind screen of the car, how will I get the payment receipt, how will I get my car book entry. What will I show to the constable on road to prove that I paid the road tax.
Awaiting your reply.
Thank you.
basically you don’t need sticker, printed challan copy anymore, once it is paid they can check it from their system.
and the point you never show your documents or challan copy to a constable until and unless there is an officer on duty.
if there is officer assigned to check documentations he must be having a system to check them.
