"1.7 million (1.7 lakh) individuals have declared zero income," and
"The FBR (Federal Board of Revenue) has announced that it will issue tax notices after October 31."
In other words, the Federal Board of Revenue intends to issue notices to those who declared zero income in their 2025 income tax returns likely to verify or scrutinize them based on their bank transactions, properties, or other financial records.
This step is part of the FBR’s ongoing campaign to broaden the tax base and monitor non-filers.
