Breaking News: iPhone 17 Pro Max Owners Rejoice!
In a move that's sure to spark debate, Pakistani iPhone enthusiasts now have a new way to navigate the PTA tax hurdle. But here's where it gets interesting...
The PTA Tax Relief Plan: A Game-Changer?
LAHORE, Pakistan - Imagine owning an iPhone 17 Pro Max, but feeling the pinch of the PTA tax. Well, fear not, as Bank Alfalah's e-commerce platform, Alfa Mall, has stepped in with a solution. They've introduced a payment plan that allows users to spread out their PTA tax payments over time, offering a breath of fresh air to those who've been struggling with the upfront cost.
How Does It Work?
The new payment facility is simple yet effective. Users can now choose to pay their PTA tax in monthly installments, ranging from 3 to 36 months. The best part? Short-term plans of 3 or 6 months come with no interest charges, while longer-term plans carry a minimal 2.5% markup.
For example, if you opt for the 3-month plan, you'll pay a monthly installment of Rs75,966 with no markup. Or, if you prefer a more extended period, the 36-month plan offers installments as low as Rs10,825, with a nominal 2.5% markup.
A Lifeline for Imported iPhone Owners
This initiative is a godsend for those who've imported their iPhone 17 Pro Max and were facing the challenge of paying the full tax upfront. With this new plan, they can register their devices with the PTA without breaking the bank.
How to Avail This Offer
To take advantage of this offer, users need to visit the Alfa Mall website. There, they'll enter their iPhone's IMEI number, along with their name and CNIC details. After that, it's as simple as selecting the "Buy Now, Pay Later" option and choosing their preferred installment plan.
The Controversy
While this plan offers a much-needed relief, it also raises questions. Is it fair to charge a markup for longer-term plans? Should there be an interest-free option for all durations? And what about those who can't afford even the lowest installment? These are the points that might spark differing opinions.
So, what do you think? Is this a brilliant solution or a controversial move? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below! We'd love to hear your take on this unique payment plan.
