  • We earn by way of hard work outside Pakistan and transfer this hard earned money to Pakistan paying heavy transfer charges. When we invest this money by buying saving certificates and other bonds, government levies withholding Tax as non-filer. Is this fair? I was charged Rs12000/- when I purchased Behbood Certificate.

    • I am also thinking about buying government’s investment certificates. I believe we are entitled for tax exemption as a NRP.
