Establishing a telecommunication business in Pakistan requires navigating a complex regulatory landscape governed primarily by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA). At Javid Law Associates, we provide end-to-end advisory services to help local and foreign investors secure necessary telecom licenses. Whether you need a Class Value Added Services (CVAS) license, Long Distance International (LDI) license, or Local Loop (LL) license, our corporate legal services Pakistan ensure compliance at every milestone.
Licensing Framework and PTA Regulations
Under the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organization) Act, 1996, any entity offering telecom services must obtain a valid license. This process begins with SECP company registration, specifically as a Private Limited company registration Pakistan. Our team handles the entire corporate structuring, ensuring your Memorandum and Articles of Association align with PTA requirements, followed by NTN Registration Pakistan and Sales Tax registration.
