How PTA registration works

1. Check your IMEI

Dial *#06# for your IMEI, then SMS it to 8484 or check dirbs.pta.gov.pk to see the device's registration status.

2. Pay the tax

Register on DIRBS to generate a PSID, then pay via internet banking, EasyPaisa, JazzCash or a bank branch.

3. Get approved

Approval usually lands within 24–48 hours and your phone works on all Pakistani networks permanently.

Frequently asked questions

How long can I use a phone in Pakistan without PTA registration?

A phone brought from abroad works on local SIMs for about 60 days after first use. After that, DIRBS blocks the IMEI on all networks (Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone) until the tax is paid and the device is registered.

What is the difference between passport and CNIC registration?

Passport registration is available to travellers who bring a phone when entering Pakistan and register soon after arrival — rates are roughly 15–25% lower than CNIC rates. Anyone can register on their CNIC at the higher rate. CNIC holders can register up to 5 devices per calendar year.

How do I check if a phone is PTA approved?

Dial *#06# to get the IMEI, then SMS the IMEI number to 8484 or check it on dirbs.pta.gov.pk. This is essential when buying a used phone — always verify the IMEI before paying.

How do I pay PTA tax?

Register on dirbs.pta.gov.pk (or dial *8484#) to generate a PSID, then pay via internet banking, EasyPaisa, JazzCash, or at a bank branch. Approval typically comes within 24–48 hours of payment.

Are these tax amounts exact?

No — they are estimates from published 2026 tables. DIRBS calculates the final amount from the live PKR/USD exchange rate and FBR's current valuation ruling on your payment date, so the exact figure can differ. Always confirm on dirbs.pta.gov.pk before paying.
