Punjab Excise Sets Record with Rs. 94 Lakh Registration Fee for Single Vehicle

The Punjab Excise and Taxation Department has achieved a historic milestone by collecting Rs. 94 lakh in registration fees for a single luxury vehicle. This record-breaking case involved a 2024 Range Rover (3,000 cc) worth approximately Rs. 17.6 crore, registered in Gujranwala on September 5, 2025.

The vehicle was registered under the name of Ahmed Waqas, who also secured the personalized plate AWA-089. This marks the highest registration fee ever collected by Punjab Excise, surpassing the previous record of Rs. 91 lakh, set in 2023 for another Range Rover..

A Milestone in Excise Revenues

Officials have hailed this achievement as the highest-ever registration fee collected for a single vehicle in Punjab’s history. The development underscores both the rising demand for luxury cars in Pakistan and the growing revenues generated by the Excise Department.

For context, the fee paid for this single registration is enough to purchase a brand-new Haval Jolion 1.5T SUV with registration included — and still leave more than Rs. 10 lakh to spare.

Wider Context

The department has already collected over Rs. 5 billion in the first two months of the 2025–26 fiscal year. This performance underscores how reforms, digitalization, and luxury vehicle registrations are fueling consistent growth for Punjab Excise.

Conclusion

The Rs. 94 lakh registration fee marks a new chapter in the history of Punjab Excise. With reforms driving efficiency, luxury car registrations on the rise, and personalized number plates gaining popularity, such record-breaking cases are expected to become more frequent in the future.
