ISLAMABAD: Managing Director Pakistan Telecom Foundation Major General (r) Khalid Rao and Managing Director Pak Datacom Brig (r) Arshad Kiyani called on Chairman Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Tariq Bajwa. The talks were held at the FBR House. The main objective of the talks was to get more information about the use of information technology in collection of revenues and taxes and to stop transit smuggling, because Pak Datacom is also providing the services of v-technology. This system is quite helpful to curb smuggling by putting a tracker with container.
Sources told Customs Today that there are some faults in those trackers which are being used nowadays at transit trade. This is the main reason that authorities are finding it difficult to control smuggling at Pak Afghan Transit trade.
It is pertinent to mention here that Pak Telecom Foundation is providing data to major institutions including State Bank of Pakistan, National Bank of Pakistan, Telenor etc.
On the other hand Chairman FBR Tariq Bajwa said that FBR always tried to use latest technology for enhancing their revenue resources. He asked Pak Telecom Foundation to extend all facilities in this regard.
