SRO 1064(I)/2026 — regulatory duty on mobile phones
Estimate only. DIRBS issues the payable PSID. Regulatory duty is SRO 1064(I)/2026. Sales tax is 18% up to USD 500 and 25% above that. Handset levy follows the Finance Act 2022 table. Section 148 income tax doubles for a non-filer. Passport and CNIC are not given separate rupee totals because the current sales-tax schedule does not print those two columns.
