Alfa Mall has introduced a new payment option that could finally ease the burden of PTA registration for iPhone 17 Air users in Pakistan. Many buyers have avoided activating their devices because PTA taxes push the overall cost far higher. Now, Alfa Mall’s zero-interest installment plan offers a way to register the iPhone 17 Air without paying the full tax amount upfront.
The new plan targets users who want legal PTA approval but cannot afford a large one-time payment. Through Alfa Mall’s website or app, customers can now split their PTA tax into manageable installments while staying connected on local networks.

To start, users must open the provided link on Alfa Mall’s platform. The page will ask for the phone’s IMEI, along with the customer’s name and CNIC. After entering this information, users must select how they want to pay. The service offers full payment or a buy-now-pay-later option. Customers should select the BNPL option to continue with installments.
After that, users can pick a suitable plan. Alfa Mall offers two choices: a 3-month plan or a 6-month plan. Once the plan is selected, users can proceed to checkout and complete the process.
Bank Alfalah applies a one-time processing fee with FED on all zero-markup plans. The 3-month plan carries a 3 percent fee, while the 6-month plan carries an 8 percent fee. Only Bank Alfalah credit card holders can use this facility. For more details or bookings, customers can call +92 341 4081152.
This installment option signals a major shift for buyers who want to register the iPhone 17 Air without facing overwhelming upfront costs. It also offers a more practical path for users who have waited to activate their devices due to rising taxes.
