This deadline extension from the Sindh Government comes as a welcome move for thousands of vehicle owners who were unable to meet the earlier cut-off date. The smart card registration system is a progressive step towards digitization and record security, providing citizens with a tamper-proof, chip-based card for vehicle identity.

If you are still using the old vehicle registration booklet, now is the time to visit your nearest Excise & Taxation Office and apply for the smart card. The new system not only simplifies verification at checkpoints but also reduces the risk of forgery and misuse.
