  8. Simply poor planning and advisory. Allowing import for the disabled under so much restrictions and conditions minimizing every such possibility of import. Seems the advisory council for the government is overrun by the car manufacturing mafia of pakistan. It is evident from the policies.
    Even with 100 percent import duties imported cars can still compete with our pathetic local cars. Plus import duties will also boost up the reveune. Government need to regulate the market by keeping a balance between imported cars and locally manufactured ones.

  9. useless amendment , this seems to be impossible for Disable to bought duty free car .
    i can see the people screaming for their rights they are waiting for 10 months for the clearance really not suitable for us . shame on government for making such foolish amendments .

  17. I am special person help me to import duty free car new condation or old places Sant me procedure

  18. its really saddening that disables have not allowed to import 3 or 4 years old car.Why other people importing second hand cars what the hell is this. Secondly most of disable persons dont know how to apply they visited many offices government official are not supportive.Govt should establish one window solution office just for disable persons where disable persons easily address their issues related with cnic,disability certificate,import of car etc.
