The Sindh government has issued a final deadline for vehicle owners to replace their number plates with the new 'Ajrak' design.

Provincial Minister for Excise and Taxation, Mukesh Chawla, announced that after April 3, vehicles displaying anything other than the newly issued plates will no longer be accepted.

Chawla stated, “After 3rd April, only the newly issued Ajrak number plates will be considered valid in the province."

In an effort to streamline the process, he added that traffic police will be provided counters at civic centres and facilitation centres for a one-window operation. “Traffic police check posts will also ensure that vehicles receive their new number plates within the stipulated time,” Chawla said.

Additionally, the minister mentioned that vehicle transfers and tax payments for those with outstanding fines will be made conditional on the payment of these fines.
