He added that the new system will also help in illuminating corruption and usage of vehicles for forge number plates in acts of terrorism as complete data of a vehicle will be saved and computerized under the new system. DVRS will also help to eliminate the tendency of late registration of vehicle and evasion of govt. tax on vehicles.

He expressed these views addressing a meeting held in Gymkhana Rawalpindi which was participated by the large number of vehicles besides Director Excise & Taxation Tanveer Gondal, EDO Excise & Taxation Malik Pervaiz, Chairman All Pakistan Motorbike Association Haroon Sheikh, dealers of Suzuki, Corolla, and other car manufacturing companies.

Addressing the participants of the meeting, Salman Sufi said that last year about 16 lakh vehicles and motorcycles were registered in Punjab and all applicants had to undergo an agony of standing in long lines and paying more unofficially at the hands of agents. He informed that under the DVRS system, number plates of vehicles would be provided by the dealers who will deposit registration fee and number plate fee in National Bank themselves and would maintain record of vehicles by computerizing themselves and the approved number plates would be provided to purchasers/owner of the vehicles/motorcycles. These dealers would be given dealership/licenses for provision of number plates to vehicle owners.

Under this program Punjab Government would announce register dealers and other would be allowed the sale and purchase of vehicles.

Director Excise & Taxation Tanveer Gondal on this occasion said that DVRS system would help in strengthening the registration system of the vehicle and dealer would charge fee of Rs. 2000 for a vehicle and Rs. 500 for a motorcycle from the customer as fixed by the government and would provide services for issuance of number plate.

The Director further said that under the new system on the later stage, the universal number plate and registration of vehicle would also be provided in shape of computerized card through which all record of the sale and purchase of the vehicles would be available on the spot.

He further said that under the new system, corruption free and safe procedure of sale and purchase of the vehicle would be established in Punjab and all difficulties and problems faced by the citizens regarding number plates and registration of the vehicles would be eliminated.
