The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has recently taken a significant step by reducing the registration fees for older models of Apple iPhones.
This decision comes in response to the Federal Board of Revenue’s (FBR) announcement regarding the reduction of taxes on Apple smartphones.

In light of the FBR’s tax reduction, the PTA has proactively decreased the registration charges for earlier versions of iPhone devices.
This reduction in registration fees by the PTA is being implemented across two distinct categories: those based on passport information and those based on CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card) details.
