In this regard, Islamabad’s excise office has introduced convenient options for paying vehicle token tax, including in-person and online services.

A counter at the excise office will remain open on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., he said.
For those with smart cards, the token tax can be paid online via the Islamabad City App. This 24/7 online service allows residents to pay their dues without leaving their homes. “This service is aimed at making the process easier for vehicle owners,” stated Bilal Azam.
