According to the Alfa Mall website, the total PTA charges for these phones range between Rs130,000 to Rs190,000, which can be paid in 3 to 6 monthly installments with 0 per cent markup. The process is simple: customers need to select an installment plan, enter their CNIC number, and also provide the IMEI code of their phone.
According to the Alpha Mall website, the total PTA charges for these phones are between Rs 130,000 to Rs 190,000, which can be paid in 3 to 6 monthly installments with 0 percent markup.

iPhone 14 Pro And Pro Max PTA Taxes Increased Again
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has once again increased the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max taxes again. This is actually surprising as the taxes on these phones have increased manifold in recent months. Due to this, the overall price of the phone has increased significantly. Of course, the iPhone is a luxury brand in the smartphone market, and in countries like Pakistan, you have to pay a hefty tax to use it with SIM coverage.
However, such a high price makes it a symbol of luxury and status. This is because only the rich section of the society can afford it, which creates a social divide in the society. Even if you can save enough money to buy an iPhone, you will still have to pay a hefty PTA tax. Here are the newly updated PTA taxes on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max PTA Tax In Pakistan
Devices
PTA Taxes on Passport (PKR)
PTA Taxes on CNIC (PKR)
iPhone 14 Pro
158,630/-
187,143/-
iPhone 14 Pro Max
158,630/-
187,143/-
Taxes were increased again for a period of only 25 days. In recent months, PTA taxes on imported mobile phones have increased dramatically. Depreciation of rupee and limited reserves of State Bank can be blamed for this increase in taxes. Thus, the current goal of the government is to curb imports to maintain economic stability.
This is a good step for retailers who import phones in bulk but we would not consider it appropriate for a common consumer who imports phones only for personal use. Also, if you have any queries related to these taxes or if you want to know the PTA tax for any other smartphone, you can use our PTA tax calculator.
Diesel Price In Pakistan Is Likely To Increase By Rs 10 Per Litre
To meet the shortfall in revenue, the government has decided to increase the price of Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) over the next two months, which will result in an additional increase of Rs 10 per liter in the price of diesel.
While the government had set a target of collection of Rs 855 billion under PDL, the estimate was only Rs 680 billion. Therefore, to cover this gap of Rs 175 billion, the government has decided to increase the price of PDL on diesel by Rs 5 per liter from March 1 and by Rs 5 per liter from April 1, 2023.
At present, the government is levying a levy of Rs 50 per liter on petrol and High Octane Blending Component (HOBC) while diesel has a levy of Rs 40 per litre. Sources said that now it will also be reduced to Rs 50 per liter during the next two months.
Diesel is widely used in the agriculture and transport sectors, has a monthly consumption of more than 500,000 metric tons. Consumption in the 28 days of February was estimated at 565,000 metric tons. The price hike, however, is most likely to affect farmers entering the crop-sowing season – during which consumption typically increases.
Pakistanis will perform the most expensive Hajj in the history of Pakistan under the government scheme 2023
Global economic conditions and the devaluation of the Pakistani rupee have made it difficult to offer affordable Hajj packages. It is therefore expected that the expenditure of the Government Hajj Scheme may exceed Rs. 1 million
The announcement of the Hajj Policy 2023 by the federal government is expected by the end of this month. This year, 179,210 Pakistani nationals, including citizens above the age of 65, will have the opportunity to perform Hajj, according to the Saudi fixed quota.
According to reports, there will be no subsidy for Hajj this year from the Ministry of Religious Affairs. All Hajj 2023 applicants must have a bank account, a valid passport, 3 photographs, a COVID-19 test result, and their own and their heirs’ identity cards.
Earlier, Saudi Arabia also announced the expansion of its Nusuk program to facilitate the registration process for Hajj pilgrims globally. The unified portal streamlines the visa application, payment process, and booking of flights, accommodation, and transportation for pilgrims.
Program expansion provides greater convenience for visitors from Europe, the United States (US), Australia, and 58 other countries.
With so much diversity in such a small space, Europe is the ideal continent for work and study. It’s easy to bounce around during your stay or wander around a country you’re keen to get to know better. Working while studying abroad isn’t always an option, but in Europe, it’s achievable if you look in the right places.
Out of Europe’s 44 countries, each region has its own unique flair that can attract different people for different reasons. Western Europe has European staples like France and Germany, while Eastern Europe offers a fascinating smattering of Slavic countries like Poland, Romania and Belarus. Up north, you’ll find cozy Nordic countries and proper Brits, along with Iceland, the land of fire and ice!
Southern Europe’s Mediterranean waves are a dream come true, so there’s no going wrong when choosing a country.
Is it possible to study and work in Europe?
Should we write this article if you can’t? Of course, you can study abroad and work at the same time! You just need to figure out the best way to balance work and school, but you can definitely do it. There are a few things you need to set up in advance, and it can be a bit more complicated depending on the country. So let’s break it down.
There are many programs that work and study abroad for you, making it easier to organize the application and documentation because, well, it’s the program’s job to help you through the process.
It is also possible that you will have to establish yourself somewhat in the country you are studying in before you can get a job. Most countries have restrictions on how long you can work and how many hours a week.
Which Is The Best Country To Study Abroad And Work In Europe?
If you are looking for a place to study and work, Europe is the place to go. But now comes the age-old question: Which is the best country to study and work in Europe? Spoiler: One answer is no.
1. Spain:
Spain is known for its vibrant culture and vibrant people and it’s a great place to study and work abroad. Sunny beaches, rich heritage, and delicious food are a big draw, but what’s it like to study and work there?
Spain is a popular destination for international students, so the process of getting a visa and applying to universities is pretty straightforward. However, it’s important to note that non-EU students will likely have to pay a little extra (this is the case with most EU countries). The actual process for working in Spain while studying is pretty flexible, so you don’t need to worry about jumping through hoops.

However, it is important to note that non-EU students will have to pay a little extra. The actual process of working in Spain while studying is quite flexible, so you don’t have to worry about jumping through hoops.
You must apply for a permit from the local authorities to work up to 20 hours a week. However, you must have a student visa to do this. You can stick around until it expires, working your way down.
The cost of living will depend on what city you end up in, but on average, it’s a good place to get your money’s worth. It tends to be cheaper than the US or UK, with average monthly budgets ranging from 1,800-2,200 euros.

2. Sweden:
Sweden may be a little cooler than Spain, but the people are warm and cozy, like their coffee and their sweaters. With vast snowy landscapes, enchanting fjords, and the Northern Lights, it’s an absolutely charming place to settle down in. It’s also an easy choice for working and studying because all you need is your student visa!
Sweden may be a bit colder than Spain, but the people are warm and cozy, like their coffee and their sweaters. It’s also an easy choice to work and study as you only need your student visa!
Sweden is known for being environmentally friendly and innovative. Many universities teach courses in English, so you don’t need to worry about perfecting your Swedish before you arrive. Education is important to Sweden, so they made it free for their people. Unfortunately, as a US citizen, you don’t get cash on it. However, it can still be cheaper on average than many US establishments.
3. Germany:
Hearty food, beer for days, lakes galore, and an active lifestyle are staples of the German economy.
If this appeals to you, consider working and studying in Germany. But wait, there are some rules. First, you need to get permission from the Federal Employment Agency and the Aliens Office.
Again, the flexibility of hours is tighter for non-EU citizens. Working while studying in Germany is more complicated if you are coming from the US, Australia, or any non-EU member state. You are only allowed to work 240 half days or 120 full days a year, either in term time or during holidays. However, there are drawbacks depending on the job you choose.
If you are working as a student assistant, the 120 day rule can be thrown out the window! There are virtually no restrictions for university jobs. But you still need to contact the Aliens Registration Office to let them know that you want to work more hours.
4. Switzerland:
The compact country is filled with emerald snow-capped mountains, outdoor adventures, dollhouse-like villages and pristine lakes. If skiing on famous slopes and living in a virtually crime-free country appeals to you, Switzerland may be the ideal answer to your question about working and studying abroad in Europe.
Many people speak English, so you won’t face too many obstacles in your job search. Switzerland has a quota for foreign workers, but if you are there on a student visa, you do not need to apply for a separate work visa.
But you can only use it after you’ve been in the country for six months and only work 15 hours a week while you’re there. It may not be the most profitable option, but in terms of experience and culture, it’s definitely worth considering.
You can actually work and study abroad in France. You might even be able to study abroad in France for free! France isn’t just on this list because it’s full of historic art and divine pastries (though that’s a definite draw), but it’s also a great place for students to study and work abroad.
Like many countries on this list, you can only work part-time. But who wants to work full-time as a student anyway? There are different types of work visas in France depending on the type of work you are looking for. For example, if you end an internship, you need a contract signed by you, your employer in France, and your school or college back home.
You may also need to prove financial security. However, the basic rule is that with your student visa, you can work in France for up to 964 hours a year. If you’re working for the university you attend, contracts may differ slightly, so don’t hesitate to reach out to people in the departments you’re hoping to work in.
6. Italy:
Italy can be a bit expensive, but if you play your cards right, it can be affordable. But making a little money on the side is never a bad thing. If you are on a student visa, Italian laws will only allow you to work 4 hours a day and a maximum of 20 hours a week.
However, if you wish to take up a full-time position before graduating, you can convert your Italian residence permit from a study to a work permit, but only within the annual quota established by law.
7. Norway:
You might not get all the perks as a student worker, but that doesn’t mean you should write Norway off your list! Norwegians are very reserved but still relaxed.
They rarely complain and prefer to spend time relaxing rather than stressing about to-do lists. The cost of living in Norway is high according to expats, but wages are at a reasonable rate so you can afford it at an average hourly job.
Before you can start looking for work, you will need your student’s permission. But then you can work 20 hours a week during your studies and full-time between semesters.
