Motor Vehicle Registration System Inactive Across Punjab
Motor Vehicle Registration System Inactive Across Punjab, Citizens Face Severe Disturbance. The digital system for registering motor vehicles across Punjab has been completely down for several days, due to which important matters like buying and selling vehicles, registration, transfer, and payment of token tax have been disrupted. Both online and office services of the Excise and Taxation Department have been affected, which has put citizens and dealers in severe difficulties.
Technical Glitch in the Digital System
According to sources in the Excise Department, a technical glitch or server crash in the registration system could be the possible reason for the shutdown. However, no official announcement or timeline has been issued yet as to when this problem will be resolved. When citizens access the online portal, they receive messages saying “system not available” or “server error”.
Public reaction
Thousands of citizens have been affected due to the shutdown of this system. Especially those who have bought new vehicles or want to transfer their vehicles to someone else’s name, all their legal matters have come to a standstill. In other cities, including Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Bahawalpur, Gujranwala, citizens are also forced to visit offices daily.
A citizen complained:
“We have been visiting the office for three days, but every time we are told that the system is closed. Without registration, we cannot bring the vehicle on the road, and the police will stop it.”

Car Dealers and Showroom owners are also affected
Car dealers and automobile showrooms have also been severely affected by the closure. They say that buyers are refusing to take delivery of the vehicles after they are sold due to the inability to register them, which is severely affecting their business.

Criticism of the government’s silence
So far, neither the Punjab government nor the Excise Department has issued any official press release on this issue, which is causing concern in public circles. Experts say that such a system should have backup servers and alternative arrangements so that the system does not completely shut down in any emergency.
