FBR Issues Final Notice to Non-Filers Before Blocking Mobile SIMs, Cutting Electricity Connections

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has issued final notices to non-filers before blocking their mobile SIM cards, and mobile phones and disconnection of utilities.

One of the notices issued to the non-filers reads, “You were issued notice under section 114B to file the return, non-compliance results in disconnection of electricity, gas & mobile connections. Please file return immediately.”

Sources told ProPakistani that the FBR is ready to enforce strict measures against non-filers. In the first phase, the mobile SIM cards and mobile phones of non-filers will be blocked. In this regard, the FBR will issue the Income Tax General order during the current month.

The FBR is also devising a strategy to disconnect the electricity and gas connections of non-filers. Till now, FBR lacks complete data on the electricity connections of non-filers.

When contacted, a top FBR official said that mobile phones of non-filers will be blocked during the current month. However, he did not specify a particular date for this measure.


  • What sort of benefits filer gets in routine house hold items, whether filler not to pay sales tax, filler have special discounts. If all not then what benefit filler have.

  • Electricity meters are mostly never transferred because descos employees demand bribe openly from top to bottom. My boss paid Methai to fesco chief for transformer. Fbr should play their role to ease the utility meters transfer process and make it completely online before disconnecting.

  • More transparency is required by getting complete data of utilities connection in the name of non filers

  • Sara drama hy aaj ay rishwat ka bazar garam krny ka. Last week bhai sy cash ly kr gy hain. Monthly 2000 lety hain or direct uper tak jaty hain.

    • Ap logo q paisy dyte hyn

  • why should consumer pay for theft or non-recovery of dues by DISCOs. Inefficiency of DISCOs is made by extra burden on consumers. Recovery be made good from DISCOs. Implement and see the result.

    • jo kuch hamary mulk me ho rha wo konsa doosry countries me ho rha… hamara mulk aik circus ha aur danda ring master k hath me ha.

    • Dear we are basically in a very corrupt system so these are very much corrective measures, because in other countries peoples pay upto 45% Taxes so their government doesn’t need to do this type of strategy.

  • Fake News utalties and Sims are not belongs to fbr and public paying taxes on electricity and mobile topups so this is irrelevant news

  • I think Telcos should wind up their business soon, if sim card blocking is enforced by reckless FBR, coz 90% are below tax net AKA Non-Fillers. Same will happen with Gas and Electricity companies.

  • It looks like that non filers are non citizens who don’t have right to live in the country. On the other hand in reality non filers are paying more tax because they are not fileing return.

    Do think the decisions.

    • what is the point of paying any form of tax. because the tax office isn’t doing what the tax is paid for. why do you have to pay tax when your buying a property and then you pay tax for selling your property. is there any basis for this. I say no basis at all. the country is run by the people not government. so this country will never sort its self out.

  • 70% of kp industries are near to close due to heavy electric bills and the unstable situation of the country and political issues. The remain less will complete by the FBR.

  • Arrest kyon nhi krty ? Kyon dunya main apna mazaak banwa rhy ho ? Soch to mature rakho. Bachon wali harkatien hain ye…

  • FBR System is corrupt. Even many FBR employees are non filers. Non filer does not necessarily mean we pay less or no tax. On the contrary we already pay WHT , GST , Levy Tax, plus Utility bill taxes and property tax.
