Google Pixel 9 Pro price in Pakistan is Rs. 225,000 for a PTA approved unit, based on local mobile markets. A non-PTA unit sells for around Rs. 175,000. The PTA tax on this phone is Rs. 45,514.
Price in Pakistan: PTA vs Non-PTA
| Variant | Price (PKR) |
|---|---|
| PTA Approved | Rs. 225,000 |
| Non-PTA (network locked) | Rs. 175,000 |
| PTA Tax Amount | Rs. 45,514 |
A non-PTA phone costs less at the shop. But it will stop working on any Pakistani SIM after the grace period ends, unless you pay the tax and register it. So the real cost of a non-PTA phone is the shop price plus the tax you will pay later.
Is the Google Pixel 9 Pro PTA Approved?
“PTA approved” means the phone’s IMEI is already registered with PTA’s DIRBS system. A registered IMEI works with any Pakistani SIM, with no block warning.
Whether the exact unit you’re buying is approved depends on that specific phone, not the model in general. Two Pixel 9 Pro units can have different IMEI status. Always check the IMEI before you pay, especially on marketplaces like OLX where sellers list both approved and non-approved units side by side.
How to check IMEI status before buying:
- Dial *#06# on the phone to get the IMEI number.
- Send the IMEI as an SMS to 8484, or check it at dirbs.pta.gov.pk.
- A “Compliant” or “Approved” result means it’s registered. “Non-Compliant” means tax is still due.
PTA Tax Breakdown for Google Pixel 9 Pro
The PTA tax for the Google Pixel 9 Pro at Rs. 45,514. This amount is not one flat fee. PTA’s tax on any imported phone is built from a few parts set by FBR:
- Regulatory or customs duty, based on the phone’s declared value in US dollars
- General Sales Tax
- Mobile phone levy
- Withholding income tax under Section 148 (this part is waived for passport registration, not for CNIC)
Because these parts change with the dollar rate and FBR’s yearly valuation tables, the exact figure can shift. Rs. 45,514 is the amount some sources had listed at the time of writing. Always confirm the live figure by entering the IMEI on dirbs.pta.gov.pk before you pay, since that portal generates the actual Payment Slip ID (PSID) and final amount.
CNIC vs Passport Registration: What Actually Changes
PTA offers two registration routes, and they are not priced the same:
- CNIC registration is for Pakistani residents registering a phone for personal use. It carries the full tax, including the Section 148 withholding tax.
- Passport registration is for travelers and overseas Pakistanis bringing a phone in from abroad. It skips the Section 148 withholding tax, which is why it usually costs less than CNIC.
Passport registration also comes with one free device registration through the *8484# USSD code, but only for a phone brought in on that trip. A second phone, or a phone bought locally, needs full DIRBS registration and payment.
How to Register the Pixel 9 Pro with PTA (Step by Step)
- Get the IMEI numbers by dialing *#06#. Note both numbers if the phone has dual SIM slots.
- Go to dirbs.pta.gov.pk and sign up, or log in if you have an account.
- Choose your registration type: Local (CNIC) or Foreigner (Passport).
- Enter the phone’s make, model, and IMEI numbers, plus your personal details.
- Submit the application. The portal calculates the tax and issues a PSID.
- Pay the PSID amount through a bank, JazzCash, or Easypaisa.
- The phone is registered once payment clears, usually within a day or two.
Phones brought into Pakistan have a 60-day window to get registered before the SIM slots get blocked from mobile networks.

A Detail Most Listings Skip: This Model Is Discontinued
Google Pixel 9 Pro is “Discontinued.” Google has since released the Pixel 11 series, with the Pixel 11 Pro listed at around Rs. 345,000. If you buy a Pixel 9 Pro now, it will be on remaining retailer or resale stock, not fresh Google shipments. That’s worth knowing before you commit to a price, since parts and official support windows are tied to how long ago a phone stopped being the current model.
Buying Used or Imported? Check This First
Marketplaces like OLX list both PTA-approved and non-approved Pixel 9 Pro units, sometimes at similar prices. Before paying for a used unit:
- Ask the seller for the IMEI and check it yourself on dirbs.pta.gov.pk.
- Confirm the storage and RAM variant, since the price swings with it.
- Test both SIM slots, the fingerprint sensor, and the camera in person.
