ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced that production activities of registered persons engaged in textile spinning will now be electronically monitored through video analytics, as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance transparency and curb tax evasion in key industrial sectors.
According to S.R.O. 1963(I)/2025, issued under Section 50 and Section 40C of the Sales Tax Act, 1990, the monitoring will be conducted in accordance with Rule 150ZQR of Chapter XIV-BA of the Sales Tax Rules, 2006. The new system will enable real-time tracking of production processes and ensure accurate reporting of taxable activity.

This move aligns with FBR’s broader digital transformation strategy, which aims to strengthen compliance and revenue collection through the use of technology-driven monitoring and automation tools.
