Govt Decides To Give Mobile Phones on Installments in Pakistan

The government of Pakistan has decided to give mobile phones on installments across Pakistan. It is pertinent to mention here that this is not the first time the government has taken such an initiative. Back in 2022, a platform dubbed Kistpay was introduced that didn’t set any interest or markup on the purchase. Unfortunately, the platform is still not properly active as all the smartphones showing up on the official site are in the ‘coming soon’ section. So, this time we hope that the government establishes an active platform to make it really happen.

Soon You Will Be Able To Get Mobile Phones On Installments in Pakistan

Reliable sources have confirmed that the government has sought recommendations regarding giving all types of mobile phones in easy installments across Pakistan. In this regard, representatives of all mobile phone companies were informed in an important meeting chaired by the Director General in the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom yesterday. It was said that the government wants to make buying handsets easy for the Pakistani people by introducing easy installment plans.

The government wants to make a law regarding smartphones, after which all the people with identity cards across Pakistan will be able to get mobile handsets from companies in installments. In case of non-payment of installment or default, the identity card of the mobile phone user or the IMEI of the mobile phone will be blocked. It is being finalized and all departments will be taken into confidence in the next few days.

Smartphones have revolutionized communication and transformed our daily lives. The concept of buying smartphones on installment plans will open doors to accessibility for people who might not have the means to make upfront payments. Let’s wait and see what comes next. Will the government introduce new platforms for mobile installments or will they just make the older ones active? Stay tuned!
