Vehicle Ownership Transfer Fee In Punjab Now Increased

If you’re resident of Punjab and planning to transfer ownership of a bike or a car, here is a bad news for you, as government of Punjab raises the vehicle ownership transfer fee. According to some media outlets, the Excise Department has announced the increased transfer fees, and the revised rates are already being applied now.

Let’s have a look at revised vehicle ownership transfer fee, effective July 2025.

Vehicle Ownership Transfer Fee in Punjab 2025

Vehicle Type	Old Fee (Rs.)	New Fee (Rs.)	Increase (Rs.)
Motorcycle	550	605	55
Cars (650 to 1000cc)	2,750	3,025	275
Cars (1000 to 1800cc)	5,500	6,050	550

Heavy Transport Vehicles	5,500	6,050	550

Although these are small increases, but still effect on the people managing tight budgets. Even someone transferring a bike ownership might pause. Increase of Rs. 55 isn’t much, but when fuel is costly, and all other expenses such as oil changes and toll tax has gone up, it adds another little pinch.

Final Thoughts

There’s been no public justification or announcement from Excise & Taxation Punjab for this increase in vehicle ownership transfer fee in Punjab. It seems that there’s no official press release, just a quiet update that slipped into effect. But it’s so difficult to guess why. With inflation still biting, the provincial government seems to be looking for ways to bring in more revenue. Some also suggest it might be linked to digital upgrades in the excise system. Fair enough, but for the average person, that’s just another added cost.

So, if you’re selling a car, or buying one from someone, or even just transferring a vehicle within your family, don’t be caught off guard. The fee isn’t what it used to be.
