📢 GOOD NEWS FOR SOLE PROPRIETORS! 🇵🇰
🧾 Annual Sales Tax Biometric Verification through NADRA PakID
In an important development for individual taxpayers, sole proprietors and overseas Pakistanis, NADRA has confirmed that the requested online biometric verification facility through the dedicated PakID mobile application has already been developed and is expected to become operational in the 1st week of September 2026 (tentatively).
✅ Biometric verification can be completed remotely
✅ No need to visit a physical NADRA center
✅ Facility available for taxpayers and sole proprietors
✅ Overseas Pakistanis can complete verification from anywhere in the world
✅ NADRA has also taken up the matter with FBR to recognize PakID biometric verification as an alternate mode of verification, alongside the existing e-Sahulat service.
This is a welcome step towards Ease of Doing Business and will significantly facilitate small traders, sole proprietors and taxpayers.
