What Happens If You Don’t Pay PTA Tax?
If you import an iPhone 18 series model without paying the required PTA registration tax, the phone may eventually be blocked. After the allowed grace period you won’t be able to use any mobile network/ SIM on your phone. DIRBS is the authority in Pakistan that identifies non-compliant mobile phones and blocks them from using local networks. Here are the cons of a non-PTA iPhone:
- A blocked device may not work with Pakistani SIM networks when you want to make calls, send SMS and use mobile data.
- You can generally continue to use that device with Wi-Fi to run social apps and play games, although cellular services may be unavailable.
- You may need to pay the applicable duties and PTA taxes to unblock your phone and start using a SIM.
- Non-PTA iPhones attract fewer buyers because the registration tax is going to cost them more.
- Using an unregistered device beyond legally allowed grace period can carry severe penalties, like heavy fines.
Before buying an imported iPhone, check its IMEI and registration status. You can use the official PTA Device Verification System to check the device’s status.
