      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330411596/islamabad-imposes-transfer-fee-on-evs-hikes-rates-for-other-vehicles</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Islamabad administration has announced a substantial increase in vehicle transfer fees, which will come into effect from April 14.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The revised rates will apply to both conventional and electric vehicles, as well as motorcycles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the new structure, the transfer fee for vehicles up to 1000cc has been raised from Rs1,200 to Rs2,750. Vehicles ranging from 1000cc to 1800cc will now incur a fee of Rs5,500, up from the previous Rs2,000. For vehicles above 1800cc, the fee has been increased significantly from Rs3,000 to Rs11,000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a first, transfer charges have also been introduced for electric vehicles. EVs with a capacity of up to 50kW will be charged Rs2,500, while those between 50kW and 100kW will face a fee of Rs5,500. For EVs exceeding 100kW, the transfer fee has been set at Rs10,000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Motorcycle transfer fees have also seen a hike. Bikes up to 200cc will now require a payment of Rs550, up from Rs150. For bikes between 200cc and 400cc, the fee has been set at Rs1,000, and for those above 400cc, Rs1,500.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The collected fees are to be deposited into the account designated by the Ministry of Finance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The move is expected to enhance revenue collection and regulate vehicle ownership transfers more effectively.&lt;/p&gt;
