Govt proposes duty-free import of cars for overseas Pakistanis

ISLAMABAD: In a bid to recognize the efforts of overseas Pakistanis, the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development has proposed duty-free import of one hybrid car (upto 3000cc) for Foreign Exchange Remittance Card holders, who remit $100,000 over a period of two years.

The ministry has been mandated to redress the problems of overseas Pakistanis and to formulate policies for their welfare, said the overseas ministry in a notification sent to concerned parties, which include the Ministry of Industries & Production, and the Engineering Development Board.

“In this context, on the direction of Prime Minster’s Delivery Unit, the Prime Minister's office, this Ministry is in the process of devising a Manual of Privilege for Overseas Pakistanis-2019,” the notification read.

According to the notification, all relevant stakeholders have been requested to furnish the input/proposed privileges to be extended by their organisations and departments.
