The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) advises consumers to verify the tax payment status of mobile devices before making a purchase.
Buyers must ensure that all required taxes have been paid for the devices and are registered correctly in the Device Identification, Registration, and Blocking System (DIRBS).
For unregistered mobile devices, buyers are responsible for paying all applicable taxes and duties within 60 days for local network usage.
Individuals are advised to submit the required taxes only through authorized banking channels to avoid fraudulent offers or unauthorized intermediaries.
