ISLAMABAD (APP) - Excise and Taxation Office (ETO) of ICT has decided to introduce 'easy-paisa' service to facilitate token tax payers of vehicles.

Excise and Taxation Officer, Hamid Nasrullah Ranjha told APP that the department had sent a proposal for approval to the Interior Ministry in this regard.

The motorists would be able to pay token fee of their vehicles through the easy-paisa service and the system would be automatically updated, he informed.

vehicle number.
