The FBR has issued new administrative instructions regarding the recovery of outstanding tax demands under Section 140 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Under the new rules, in any case where an ex parte order is passed against an individual taxpayer, the order must be served through both physical and electronic means. No recovery proceedings can be initiated until this service (either in-person or via affixture) is officially verified and the concerned Unit Officer certifies it, especially within Regional Tax Office (RTO) jurisdictions.
